New Paper Sneak Peeks

Rather than wallow in the misery of demolition at my house, I'm choosing to distract myself by looking forward to all of the new paper collection releases coming out next week in conjunction with the CHA Convention.  This is a sneak peek of one of October Afternoon's new collections: "Modern Homemaker."
I am really digging this line -- love the polka dots and the flowers, and that she's wearing an apron.  Can't wait to see the rest; I think I'm going to need all of it!!

Back in the Saddle

Long ago, when I had spent hours and hours scrapbooking and had, amazingly, "caught up," I vowed that I would never again let myself get that far behind.

Whoops.

Flash forward to today, where I find myself over a year behind.  Sheesh!  Life, the Etsy store, the kids, and a million other creative projects have all conspired to get in the way of my scrapbooking. 

I decided that I could no longer let it go, so a couple of weeks ago I finally took the bull by the horns. I dragged out all of the stuff and got to work.  I'm still over a year behind, but at least I've made a little progress. 

And, just to keep myself motivated, I've pre-ordered this fabulous new Alice in Wonderland Halloween collection from Graphic 45:

It never hurts to have new paper on the way!  :)
