APRIL 2008 Scrappin' Thread

[Lmn]

OK Scrappin' Friends! It's time for us to move on to APRIL!! WOOHOO!! Let's start setting our APRIL Scrappin' Goals.

If you weren't able to join us in Jan, Feb or Mar, PLEASE come and play in APRIL! We had a SCRAPPIN' Good Time!!

Scrappin' Challenge 2008

It was SO fun to see everyone's goals and ideas for completing LOTS of scrapbook pages in 2008! Many had a common theme - get more pages done, use what's in our stash, meet new scrapping friends, plan time/crops...

The whole goal of the challenge is to get lots of pages done, use more in our stash before buying new (well at least keep track) and save $$ at the same time which becomes scrapping budget $ for next year -- or vacation money or Holiday fund!

The RULES for the CHALLENGE are HERE

Scrap On!

I'm not really excited about it. There's a reason that makes me quite sad.

[princessdi69]

Hey all. I think my April goal will be 12 working out of my stash. I need to save $$ for Creating Keepsakes Convention in May...

You would think huh. Really I'm having to replinish, and I'm using the money for stoarage and organization stuff for my new space this summer as well as having to keep my demo status I think I might just let it go after June since I don't really have any customers and I'm getting tired of spending all that money in just one place. Got to spread the wealth, kwim.

Ok, I have got to clean off my table before we start tonight. Also I am going to take DS to the bookstore and buy my bookclub book (since it is suppose to be read by April 9th) and all the scrap mags I can find (haven't done that is a long time) We may even go to the park before dinner

Hugs, honey, we will be here holding your hand. You will find an inner strength that you didn't know you had before. Your children will learn from your strength. You will be a blessing to others around you who will be going through the same thing.

Hugs

[CanadianKristin]

He already drew marker on the wall.
He already threw a big toy down the stairs where it smashed the wooden table my dearly departed Grandpa made for me when I was 12 (and even though it's ugly, I still like seeing it there...something his hands made that I can hold).
He discombobulated the PS2.
And now. I am ready to cause him pain if he wrecks ONE MORE FREAKIN' THING TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....notice how generous I am....I only said, "today"... tomorrow is a whole new day....I am so gracious.....

Okay. Going to try...again...to get a shower in...while baby naps and DS#1 and DD#2 watch over helliant#3....... prayers for peace and sanity gratefully accepted at this point in time..... oi

Is it miniVSN time yet?! Is it, huh? Is it?!?!? How 'bout now...can I go lock myself away and scrap now...can I? can I? huh? huh? ......how 'bout now???
