In The Meantime....

Kindred Creations is suffering some technical difficulties right now...I try to look on the positive side and say, sometimes it has to get worse for it to get better. I know the owner is working hard to fix it and hopefully this will work out all those little bugs once and for all. What can I say...it's not like I'm a technogenius. Making this blog is the extent of my abilities. I'm just glad the KC Ideas Blog is still up...if you're of the many waiting for KC to be up and running again, why not check it out? I just made an entry last Monday!

In the world of scrapbooking, I've mainly been working on a file folder album based on my fellow KC DT member Teresa's Spirited Scrap from last month. It's about my visit last year to Penetanguishene, Ontario--the town I lived in for the first 10 years of my life. I've had the pics for a year and have been anxious to see them scrapped in their own mini album but really wanted it to be as close to perfect as possible. This was a trip with an insane amount of emotional memories, in other words the very essence of scrapbooking itself, and I want to do it justice. I use the SEI BeBop collection. Here's a sneak peek:



In the world of everything else...I'm still tired. I know I'm the one who chose to work nights, and yes, I still prefer them to days. Maybe this is a warped way of looking at it, but the way I figure, the only other thing I could be doing at night is sleeping anyway. So I may as well work, and sleep during the day--when I choose to. If I have something I need to do like go to the post office or pick up train tickets, I can work my sleep schedule around that. But if I'm working during the day, I keep thinking I could be doing other things instead. KWIM? Nonetheless I need to work on my ability to say no to overtime. I forget how much it drains me!

Here's the last layout I made:



It was for a game of Layout Tag on KC. The funny thing was the original LO was one of mine. Well, technically, it was one of Making Memories' from last year's CKC trip, but I did change it up a little.

I've also changed my scraproom to the laundry room. It may sound like a downgrade but it will be a more separated space for me to create in, and also allows me a second chance to re-think my organizational strategy now that I've seen what I have and how it needs to fit in. It also allows us to have some semblance of a peaceful bedroom setup. Here's a sneak peek:



If you've gotten this far, thanks so much for dropping by. I would love to make this blogging thing a more regular activity. Sweet dreams 8)
