Creative Team Call

Hard to believe it is time to do a call again. But here it is! ;D

My head. In the sand.

jen — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:50:14 +0000

I like to bury my head in the sand. Sometimes. It is not part of my “regular” self. It likes to come out and play when things flare up that remind me of childhood. Usually in a fight or flight situation…I’d rather fight…get it all over with…and move on. Most of the time. I don’t like things hanging out there. Drives me bananas.

Take these medical issues for example. I’d rather get it all done at once rather than having it drag on and on and on for what? Almost a YEAR now. Sheesh. So after burying my head in the sand for a week or two I went and saw the hematologist yesterday and made a plan to go after the IVC filter that’s still stuck in me…one. more. time. Well, go see another surgeon who will look things over. Not overjoyed. But at least a decision has been made. My head is out of the sand. At least for now.

Seems like since school started things have gotten busy busy round here. I’ve picked up with work. Started my volunteer work at the girls’ school. Kids come home with plenty of homework. Laney’s dance has started. Ava wants to join the band at school. She wants to try bass. So free moments are few and far between. I find comfort in being busy. I do. And I do like it when the kids are gone…cause I can get a little more work done.

Here’s my layout from the speed scrap on Monday.

I hope you are having a pleasant week! ;D

The In Between

jen — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 16:28:26 +0000

I can’t stand the in between phase…when my brain says do a million things and my body says no freakin way! Talk about frustrating. If you are type A you know exactly what I am talking about. I am overall better…Corey would point out…doing more than the day before. It often doesn’t feel like enough. Again…type A.

Meanwhile…I have done a couple of layouts. Both speed scraps. I don’t know if I am in love with the speed scrap concept itself…but I sure find myself doing a lot of them recently! ;D

Layout credits.

Speed Scrap

jen — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:21:04 +0000

On Monday August 2 at 9am MST (11am EST, 10am CST, 8am PST) I am hosting my first Speed Scrap at Digi Scrapbook Mania. I know it is kinda a weird time but we are trying some new times to see what people like. I hope you can join me! I have a great freebie if you do!

I probably won’t post again over the weekend. Having my “minor” procedure done tomorrow. I expect I’ll be tired and grumpy and sore. At least I’m preparing for that.

I do have products ready for my grand opening at My Life and Scrap…I REALLY do. But I can’t figure out ZenCart. I just wish I could design and someone else could do the rest for me. Sometimes I feel really retarded. I haven’t had Corey help me with it yet. That’s probably the problem. He usually figures out all that crap for me and just tells me what to do. I’m trying to be all independent. Yeah. It’s not working so well. Have a great weekend! Hope to see you at DSM on Monday! ;D

News…and other things for good measure

jen — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 21:00:14 +0000

It never fails…I take my camera, no one cooperates, weather, sunlight, subjects (ehem, namely my eldest daughter), whatever! I DON’T take my camera and everything is just perfect. What is up with THAT? Seriously.

We went to the dog park this morning. It was so nice. Cloudy. 62°. A very nice break from the insane heat. Everyone was in good moods. Skits could actually run…and not be limping and whining from his “recent procedure”. And I didn’t bring my camera. Typical.

I do have some photos from yesterday. I took the girls hiking on The Rock in Castle Rock. It was hot but we went early and were mostly in the shade. It’s not a bad hike but I’m still having days where I just don’t feel up to par. That day was one of ‘em. But I pushed myself and we made it! ;D

In other news…I will soon be selling my designs at My Life and Scrap! Insert the Chandler Dance! ;D In an effort to make everything current I am going to be closing my store here on my blog for a time and taking down my freebies. Some of these products have been around for awhile and I want to do some updating. Please bear with me as I update things and get things going over there at My Life and Scrap. Meantime you can stop by my store at DSM and purchase some of my newer designs! Thanks for all your support!
