I have loved scrapbooking since I was in high school.
I love all my late night crops with my friends.
even better....weekend getaway crops!
Friday night I am invited to one of these wonderful 'girls nights'
...I'm super excited!
Great friends!
Good talks.
Lots of laughs!
but....
believe it or not...
I'm not really in the mood to scrapbook.
Sadly, I'm feeling the joy slowly slipping away.
I used to love 'escaping' from my week, submerging myself in cute paper and buttons.
Lately, it feels more overwhelming than refreshing.
I will NEVER get caught up :(
My girls are 4, 6, and 9.
In their albums they are 18 mo, 3 yrs, and 6 yrs.
I find myself leaning more towards....
crocheting.
crafting.
I'm really wanting to learn how to crochet.
...anyone want to teach me?!?
I'm wanting to make a cute banner to hang on our living room mirror.
...to which my husband says, "who's birthday is it?!?"
He's a turd!
The list maker in me wants to make something...
and finish it!
Cross it off my list.
I want to work on something for a couple hours
and have a finished product that I can enjoy.
Not an ongoing project that leaves me feeling like I'll never be able to come up for air.
Anyone else with me?
anyone have encouraging words to keep me motivated to stick with it?
check out this super cute afgan.
I want one just like it!
...made by me ;)
Thanks for the inspiration.
I may have to try my hand at this tomorrow night.
