donna downey's class
so this is my first project for the year long Donna Downey class I am taking. I was supposed to do it last week but it didn't arrive until Monday. I have not been in the mood to do any scrapbooking lately. Why is that? I love it. I buy stuff. I think of it all the time. I have my own room now. Do any of you, Chris, Mel, and Vanessa, feel like me? I almost think being so organized has hindered my creative process. I am so organized I can't see all of my goodies. I can't necessarily find anything I want. I've got stuff in such cute containers to use them would mean messing them up. So do you guys ever feel this way? I have some deadlines coming up and will have to get stuff done. Maybe that will get me motivated? So Mel and Chris I know some people took the cover off of the binder so they couldn't see what was underneath..I'm fine with not doing mine that way. It's completely noticeable. Maybe I'll paint over it or something. Who knows. Have a great Thursday everyone. Oh and Tracy and Beth I am confident enough now to say that I've officially lost five pounds. So you guys are my only hold up to a night of being with adults and having a margarita! It now rests on your shoulders-no pressure.

Wow so many things to comment on ... I love the journal. Great job on this. Even though I took the cover off to work on it, I didn't cover the edges. And I didn't feel like going out and getting spray paint and waiting for it to dry. I'm not *that* patient. I did cover the inside cover with the same paper, I wish I covered the edges, but I still like it. I love how yours turned out!
I'm with you in regards to not always able to find all my fun goodies. I put my stuff away right away and can't always remember what I have. I find them later when I wouldn't use them. I notice that I don't get the itch to scrap when I'm crabby. You think that would cheer me up, but if I'm in a bad mood, I won't even turn my computer on.
Speaking of deadlines - I was originally going to try for HOF this year but I decided not to. I'd rather do Cathy/Donna's class for inspiration then stress myself out.
Speaking of Cathy, did you sign up for her class? If not, I saved the templates & pdfs. If you want, I can fwd them to you so you can still do the class.
Congrats on losing the 5 pounds - that's fantastic!! Good for you. I bet you already feel better. How much were you looking to lose, 10, right?
Here's to scrapping inspiration & losing weight!!
Yeah, thanks for not putting any pressure on Tracy and I. I have said all along this is not a race and if I am the last to lose the 5 then so be it. I am at 3 pounds right now. Let me just add that you have had a brand new gym and personal trainer to keep you motivated. I think Tracy will agree that when we get to transfer over, working out will be an entirely different experience. I can't wait!! Congrats on your 5!! Happy scrappin'...maybe you should just spread some supplies all over your room and see if that helps motivate you.
I just want to clarify to you guys that...I worked out with a trainer twice but really once by the time I lost weight. It's the water and WATCHING WHAT I EAT..where did you ladies go to dinner the other night? BK?
Cute planner. I had thought about spraying my cover, but like Mel was too lazy to wait for paint to dry. However, I did have to use multiple coats of paint on my frame and eventually had Chris airbrush it since I wasn't pleased with how it had come out. So in hindsight I probably should have jsut spray painted the edge. Oh well.
Wow! You guys have a lot of insight to all of these photo books, etc. I cannot keep up! :)
I am excited if I get to create a card!
As for organization...I bought tons of containers to get organized, but you are right! It's hard to see what you have. I thought it would be easier to do things once organized, but oh no!
