Anyone scrapping right now?

[Valgal]

I've got about an hour of free time and thought I'd work on my bingo card. Anyone else scrappin'?

[Valgal]

Picked these up

[KristinCB]

I might play and scrap with my easter kit and use old photos and reminisce and cry. hahaha

[Valgal]

Oh God, these days I can barely look through my photo archives w/o weeping. Why did my kids go and grow up on me?! lol!

[KristinCB]

It's wild! It goes faster and faster all the time.

I'm scrapping! Or maybe I should say that's the plan if I can stay awake...this cold is wearing me out.

My kids are 13, 11, and 8 right now. I like it. They're still young enough to be very family oriented and give me lots of hugs. They're old enough not to come out of their rooms 5 times in 30 minutes when they should be going to sleep, and I can reason with them. The 3 of them come first for me, but that no longer takes up 23 out of every 24 hours. I love my preschool students and my little niece and nephews, but I'm also glad to go home to my bigger kids! That said--can I stop time now, please? There's no need for my kids to get even bigger and more independent than they are now.

Those are GREAT ages

Finished just in time to pack up for the day, grab some dinner and head home.



I'll check back later to see what everyone worked on!

Great layout! I love the pops of color against the grays and black and your titlework.

[KristinCB]

that page is fabulous!

[joelsgirl]

I'm working on finishing up Kristin's layout, and then I'm going to scrap.

I love that page you made, Val!

And I agree, Rachel, I do not miss kids in diapers no matter how adorable they were. My kids are 12, 9 & 4, and they are my most favorite right now. (Though I will love when the 4 is 5 a little better, but the 12 will be 13, and I'm not sure I'm ready for that!)

[Saar]

I just woke up. But I hope to be scrapping later today.
Love your layout Val!

[joelsgirl]

Well, my day is over and I never got around to scrapping because I took a children's dose of antihistamine and spent the rest of the day sleeping it off. : ( I've got my fingers crossed that tomorrow I can get some scrapping done.
I used to scrap every single day, but I must be too old for that now.

Same! I'm lucky to do a layout a week now.

I was making this page, Val, when you posted this last night.



I was almost done with a second & then my 3yo woke up crying & snotty and I had to go to bed in order to get him back to sleep. I am counting down the days until he is independent enough to pee, get dressed, and sleep on his own.

Me, too! I've always scrapped late at night, once everyone else was asleep for the night. But these days I'm up earlier because of the kids' school schedules (Jason leaves at 6:55) and it's later before the kids are asleep. By the time I get to scrap I'm exhausted, and there are days I have work to do then anyway. My old 3-5 pages a week has turned into an average of 2, and it's making me sad.

It makes me so sad too. It's my only creative outlet and something I need to do a little every day. With that not happening, I've felt some distance and I don't like it.

I can still manage to scrap a little every day, which helps, but some days I'm falling asleep at my computer after 15 minutes and have to give up. I'm spending 3-4 days on each layout.

Well, seems I'm late to the party. I'm currently catching up on my PL for week 13 and this week.
Last night I was making this page for Kristin's new release
