Sponsor Giveaways: Evalicious, Scrapbooking From The Inside Out, Allison Strine

My newest project is working on baby 'softie' toys for a new little nephew due this week. I have one done and trying to finish up another one today. I love feeling crafty!

I am working on being CALM... That is my word this year... It's harder than I thought.

Lately, I have been working on sharpening my photography skills in hopes to open a business. I've never had so much fun learning something. Plus it will make my scrapbooks all that much better. ;-)

I've been working on organizing my house & garage and getting rid of all the extra clutter.

I have been working on my "tree" series of books that I am creating. My fall and winter ones are done..now onto spring and summer!!!

We recently started a new scrapbooking club at my local store - we meet once a month, and everyone receives the same kit. We then have a month to design whatever we want, and then showcase our work at the next meeting. It's been an opportunity for me to work (and complete) on smaller projects, as well as leave my comfort zone of paper colors!

Time management is my biggest issue. I've been trying to structure my time to get more done each day. Trying not to sit on the computer so much while kids are in school.

I've been working on DT layouts and projects lately and trying to catch up on some much needed sleep (I have a 6 week old son who is waking up at 2am!).

I've been working on a format for my 365 project. I've taken pictures everyday, but it's time to decide on a format and start some journaling.

I have been working on my 365 days album, just trying to keep up.

I have my pictures from high school to current day scrapbooked, so I have begun scanning and scrapbooking my pictures beginning at birth. I don't have any children, so it's been fun to buy all the baby scrapbook goodies!

Lately I have been working on a new personnel policy manual for my job. It's not my favorite part of human resources. And for myself, I have been working on simplifying my house by getting rid of things we don't use or don't need! It is so refreshing!

I have been working on facing my fears. This is one thing I do not want to control my life so I am trying to take it back! Thanks for all your inspiration!!

I've have started painting again after many years and am incorporating painting and mixed media art into my scrapbooks. I am loving the results and really enjoying the process....ideas are popping into my head all the time!

I have finally figured out how to scan my 12 X 12's and merge them in photoshop. My newest project is submitting layouts!! I have always been a chicken up until now. I have received alot of encouragemnet to just "go for it" lately. SO that is exactly what I have been doing. We shall see...

Lately I've been working on documenting everyday things. I have albums full of our family adventures and outings and now I've turned inward and have been working on a project that more directly shows the workings of our daily life. I'm loving it so far, got some great shots and stories.

I have been working on being a new mother, again. Just welcomed my fourth baby girl into our home in January. It has been a while since I have done the baby thing. I'm relearning the middle of the night feedings, nursing and typing at the same time and learning to let some things go.

For no obvious or apparent reason I have been nesting. I have been cleaning, sorting, purging and thinking about my life being so full that in order to add something new I need to dump something old. Maybe I could just call it Spring Cleaning.

At the moment I am collecting old and new pictures of my grandmother who is lying in hospital and who will die very soon. I want to make a minibook with pieces of my live with her.

I am working on a birthday party for my 8 year old. She wants to have a silly sock party. Did you know there is a Lost Sock Memorial Day? May 9...who knew? It is going to be a great party.
