It's almost done!!!!

Well I stayed up all night, but I managed to get 4 more pages done for my Grandma's album...that means that I only have 3 pages left!!!!!! I'm so excited!!! Of course I'm also very tired, but I was in the zone so I just had to roll with it. Dh is heading out to go fishing for a couple hours so when he comes back I'll hit the hay for a few zzzzz's. I'm just so freaking happy that this is so close to being done!! The final total will be 36 pages...there have been years when I don't think I scrapped that much, let alone just for one project! Totally worth it for my Grandma though...if anyone in the world deserves it, it's definately her!

Here are the LO's I got done last night/this morning.


As soon as I have this all finished and put away, then I'm gonna do a bunch of fun stuff...like one picture scrappin, or lumpy and bumpy, and more canvases, and of course I'll be doing some cards...they are one of my favorite things to make...love that instant gratification!

Friday night...

and absolutely nothing exciting planned...again! lol Sorry I haven't posted much this week, just had a few bad days...the joys of bipolar disorder. I think they are gone again for now...at least until their next unappreciated visit! :b

I did manage to get 4 more pages done for my grandma's album, and I am currently printing the pictures for the next 2 pages, and then I **think** I will only need to do 5 more pages! Woohoo! You have no idea how glad I will be to have this finished. I estimate that I have put in over a hundred hours and they were all totally worth it for my grandma, but suffice it to say I will not be volunteering for anything like this again anytime soon! lol

Here are the LO's I did on Wed & Thurs...it was kinda hard for me cause I don't do very many masculine pages...and there is a difference in doing a LO for a boy and one for a man, but I'm happy with how they turned out.

In this LO I used some of the embellishments I made and have been promising to post instructions to here. I will do it, I just need to get a couple more pics and then just sit down and type out the instructions...they are alot of fun though. The hinges & the butterfly were all made out of plastic packaging.
Well, my pictures have finished printing, and it's almost midnight which is when I do most of my best work, so hopefully tomorrow I'll have a couple more LO's to show off.

Happy Mother's Day

Well today was rather quiet, actually most of the weekend was quiet. I've been having problems with insomnia again and although I desperately wanted to work on my grandma's album I just couldn't seem to get myself in production mode. Finally tonight I decided to just make a couple cards just to get the mojo flowing again.

All the paper is Fancy Pants and I love the colors. The one with the crown is my favorite but it was nice just to lose myself for a few minutes in being creative. I knew that I just needed to play so I also made a couple other embellishments similar to the crown on the card. Sometimes it's fun just to play...no set project in mind, just play...and I needed that tonight. I'm so grateful that I have a hobby (or obsession may be the better word) ;) that I find so rewarding and that helps me from getting too stressed out by life in general. I honestly don't know what I'd be doing if I wasn't a scrapper. Hopefully tomorrow I can get back on the album bandwagon and get that puppy finished...my grandma's birthday is in less than a month and I still have at least 10 pages left.

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day and I'll be back with new pages very soon. :)
