are not my forte! My little princess will be seven years old next Thursday July 10 and I just can't seem to wrap my head around the idea that she will not stop growing! eek! :)
So I am now stressing out trying to plan a birthday party for 9 or 10 kids. And having a severe anxiety disorder at the best of times, I just feel like my head my explode. This is something I know that I can do...I've planned and pulled off a few parties in my life, but lately I've been having real hard time with it. My mom came over earlier and like the great mom she is, she took one look at me and asked "what's wrong". Nothing like a mom to be able to recognize things that would forever be a mystery to a man.
One of the things that are so frustrating to me when dealing with my bipolar disorder is that sometimes things that should be so easy, becomes nearly impossible even though I KNOW I can do it. I KNOW that my anxiety is totally inconsistant with the reality.
This is just one of the many reasons I scrap. Scrapping comes easy to me. And sometimes...it is the only thing in my life that comes easy.
Ok enough pity party!! My goal for tonight is to get some of the prep stuff started. I will be painting the base coat on at least one thing and then I'm going to do something a little scrappy...even if only a card or two.
So check back....I've be posting anything I managed to get done tonight.

Long day...
After spending 6 hours in the car today, along with about 3 hours at the Calgary Zoo, it turned out to be a really long day! Mercedes had a blast at the zoo though and I even managed to get a couple cute pics...I'll upload some tomorrow.
On Friday I did manage to get a trip to the scrapbook store, so it was nice to get some new supplies. Along with new pics and new supplies, I've also gotten 3 new scrappin magazines, and a book from the library about Scrapbooking with kids. Mercedes has already made me promise to do lots of scrappin with her over the summer, so I hope she can find some ideas she likes. She gets a little frustrated sometimes because she can't do it as good as me...I have to chuckle at that because I remember complaining to my mom that very same thing when I was little and couldn't draw. And just like my mother said to me, I now say to my daughter "if you keep practicing you will get to be just as good or even better than me!" And just like I did at that age, she finds that answer even more frustrating! lol Even funnier though is that she is already planning on how she will teach her children to be scrapbookers! lol Oh, to have your life planned at age 7! :)
But for the next 3 days I have the house all to myself so I'm hoping to spend most of it just relaxing, watching movies and scrapping. So stay tuned this week, I plan on having lots of new projects posted. I'll also be busy planning Mercedes birthday party for July 9 (she thinks it's the 10th, but she wants a surprise party so the ninth it is! :)
If you have any fun party games/activites for about 10 6-7 year old girls, please leave me a comment with some suggestions...planning children's parties is not my forte, so I will draw a name from anyone that leaves a comment here....the winning name will get a fun scrapbooking related RAK from me. :)
