Wow, I suck at blogging!

Ok, so there's a reason for this blog right? I don't have too many followers, but I think sometimes....hey, I still have that blog that I created some moons ago....I should really do something with it!

I honestly have been doing a ton of scrapping since Christmas time. I love scrapbooking so much now and it's thanks to all the garden girls, Nichol M. (http://www.nicholmagouirk.typepad.com/) and a special shout to Shimelle Lain (Shimelle.com)...even though she is a garden girl, she has really been my inspiration. It all started with seeing her 4 x 6 photo love videos on You Tube, then her sketch to scrapbook videos...and then...the real kicker...taking her Journal Your Christmas class. I couldn't believe that I filled an entire 12 x 12 album in that time period with pictures, memories, and stories that I just love. What an awesome class. Since then, I have taken several from her and have loved them ALL.

I have really been loving so many of the new product that are out there too...which for me is good and bad. I have a tendency to buy something that I love, use it once and then it gets lost among all of the other new stuff that I buy. So, I am trying to actually scrap more so I will use more. I am about to go on another buying freeze again...one more order sitting there at Two Peas and then I am done for awhile.

Other than scrapbooking I have been working on keeping my house in order. Brian and I have been decluttering and our next project is the downstairs bathroom so we can use it while the upstairs bathroom is being remodeled. For my main part of the house, I figured out the few things that were the worst and then planned them out for the week...so in my house, the papers, dishes, laundry, scraproom and floors are the worst. So...I do my scraproom on the weekend (usually Sunday), wash laundry on Saturday and Sunday, dishes on Monday (I will also do throughout the week if needed, but the Monday plan means all dishes...no if ands or buts), Tuesday is putting laundry away, Wednesday is my open day in case I didn't get my chores done on the other days and then Thursday is paper day and Friday is floors. It has worked amazingly for me because when you do it every week it gets easier and easier to do. Much less time consuming to get rid of one week of mail versus a month or two. Maybe I am crazy and everyone else has already figured out a plan like this, but for me it's so amazing I just want to share it with the world :)

Ok, well it's Tuesday so I am off to fold laundry. Maybe soon I will post some layouts.
