Here are some pics of my sad tree. All the ice weighted it down. I hope it recovers.
So yes, today our power went out again. Yep, from a little before noon til approximately 6 pm....zilch on the electricity. I was anxiously awaiting some awesome post on 2SCD (which there's an awesome sale going on over there BTW) & all of a sudden.....WHOOSH!! The power went off & I was looking at a black screen. GRRRRRR!!!! Why does it always have to happen whenever I'm on the scrapbook forum?!!! Or hello! During the on-line crop!!! Yep, I'm obsessed. I know it. I'll admit to it. Scrapbooking is my obsession. When my lights go out, no on-line cropping. No blog stalking. No checking out chix's projects. No keeping up with challenges. No browsing new products. Nothing. Nada. So depressing. NO blogging. That's for sure!
So, to help you all understand (whoever reads my blog & since no body really knows that it exists....that's probably a big whopping 0) I'll let you in on my scrapbook hang-ups. Yes, I do have hang-ups about scrapbooking. And more than likely, these hang-ups will end up on a page. I scratched these down one night.
My Hang-Ups About Scrapbooking
1. People look at me crazy wheneer I tell them about the weird, "what-you-can-find-at-home" stuff I put on my pages or what sorts of things I alter.
2. At bedtime my mind is still overloading on ideas for projects.
3. I think I've come up with a cutting edge technique or unique idea & then I see someone else has thought of that in my next scrap mag issue.
4. Too many pictures, too little time
5. My urge to sleep in after staying up into the wee hours designing & not being able to
6. Dropping my scrapbook magazine in my bath water, because a bath can't be relaxing enough without checking out the latest trends & ideas.
7. Any time I get money, all I can think about is new product.
8. Any time I'm at the scrapbook store, I rarely walk out without spending money.
So, here's my philosophy on number 1 & 7. So maybe my scrapbook style is thrifty or maybe a little on the eclectic side. But I can't always make a trip to the scrapbook store or go on-line to buy new product. Sure, my obsession with scrapbooking has to be fed.....but...
so do my kids.
Toodles! HOpe everyone is safe, warm, & well-fed. I'm hoping my friends who still don't have power (going on a week today) get it back ASAP!
