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

I've been working on my 1st layout in over a year!! We packed up, sold our house, and moved into a new one. I finally have my scrap room unpacked! Having my own space (with a door!! LOL) is wonderful!! So HAPPY to be back at it!

Wow--what great giveaways!
Lately, I haven't done much scrappy or crafty. But I am really excited for this weekend. I'm going to the initial training toward certification in a fitness class I've been taking (called BodyFlow--a mix of yoga, pilates, and tai chi). I've become really interested in health/wellness/fitness and am really excited to pursue this new part of my journey. And I'm sure I'll document it in some creative way!

I've been using scrapbooking as therapy and have found the SFTIO kits to be great prompts for deeper and more meaningful journalling. Oh, and since November last year I've been working on being a mother of two!!

I have recently taken on the role of the Children's Ministries Director in my church and have been quite consumed with it.
It is fun to plan for all the things the kids will learn and do in Sunday School each Sunday.
God Bless!

I've been working on my teaching portfolio as I'm looking for a position in a different school district.

Well, I have been working on getting my house in order, particularly my craft room as it is a mess and I moved the computer out of there so I have some extra space. I worked on my 2008 album awhile back and got through June :) I have also taken up knitting with looms.
Thank you for the chance to win!!

Such fun giveaways!! Thanks Ali! I've been working with my son on his 5th grade Revolutionary War project. SO fun!! Colonial Williamsburg diarama. What better use for all my cool scrapbooking supplies!! Thanks again Ali! :)

Lately, I've been working on NOT scrapping. For the past few months, I had been feeling overwhelmed when it came to my hobby...it seemed that I was making memories faster than I could capture them (sound familiar?). I'm a relatively slow scrapper to begin with, so the task of trying to capture all the wonderful moments in my life as they were happening was, needless to say, daunting. Plus, my full-time job as a graphics designer was causing me to become burned-out creatively.
Finally, per the suggestion of a fellow scrapper on the CK message board, I bought a few blank photo albums and decided to store my pictures and cards containing journaling in there. The albums are going to serve as a "holding place." That way, I can enjoy the memories until I decide to scrap them, and if I never get around to it, no big deal. At least they've been recorded.
You have no idea what a huge load has been taken off my shoulders.

I'm a secretary in an adult ed program, and one of the jobs that's fallen to me is to chronicle events through a couple of scrapbooks. I've been working on keeping up with those, as well as a couple of college classes (recently back to school after 30 years away). I'm anxious to spend some time with my own scrapbooking!

I have been busy writing paper after paper, but writing towards my dream of becoming a teacher!

Quilting. I really, really want to become better at it, and have been working on a baby quilt for a gift every night. It's been really relaxing and fun.

i just finished the entire yearbook for my kids' school - after that i am burned out for a bit - want to get back to doing things 'for fun' and 'for me'....sounds selfish but oh so true.

I've been working on trying to slow down!! That was my goal for 2009 and I don't seem to be sticking to it. I need to re-look at my thoughts from the beginning of 2009 and get myself re-focused!
Scrapbook wise, I have been working on a camping scrapbook from all our camping adventures. I love it!!

too much, really! i am following Apartment Therapy's Spring Cure and working on the home front.

Right now I'm working on getting a mountain of photos printed (starting from this past June!), knitting a hooded baby towel, crocheting a baby blanket, and crochet a sweater for myself. Busy, but craft busy--that's the best kind of busy!
Thanks for the opportunity!

I am working on finding a job and then working on a small album for each of my kids.

I have been working on trying to figure out a schedule for me and my five-month old. I'm not sure how tight or loose I want it to be. Too tight and I rebel. Too loose and I feel like I'm going in seven different directions at any given time. Also working on a cross-stitch for my baby niece. As soon as that is finished, I'm starting my son's baby book! Can't wait. I've been absent from scrapbooking for too long.

Personally, I've been working on the need to have control, and learning that I don't/won't always have it, especially now as I wait for my baby to be born. It's so out of my control when/how/what happens. It's liberating to realize I no longer need to worry about it, since I can't control it anyway ;-)

I've been working on getting to a good place emotionally, physically, and spiritually. It seems that life has thrown me quite a few curve balls in the last two years, so I am just trying to figure out who I am and who I want to be.

Hey Ali girl!
Your sweet little Anna is such a dear.I Love seeing all of that pretty pink in your life! ;)
I have been working on making time every day to create JUST for me. Starting a bunch of art journals lately; it's so so good to be refreshing and re-discovering my creative spirit in new ways. Like a breath of fresh air!
take care lovely gal
