I actually created something for the first time in 3 weeks.
I mentioned that to Bryn & she stared at me and said, "I think that's a record." I just laughed... because she's probably right.
Between taking a quick end-of-summer family trip and hanging out with friends every single day in the last few weeks, I have accomplished nothing. Not one darn thing. And quite frankly, I haven't felt even remotely sad about it either. Ok, well... maybe a minor twinge of guilt that I have some things that need to be completed by the end of the month, but not enough to make me say no to having fun. LOL
So... since Bryn left yesterday to go to the lake with her cousin & my parents until Sunday (I got tears in my eyes after I dropped her off... 6 days is a long time. LOL), I decided yesterday would be a good time to get back in my craft room. So... I started with the page I was "pretending" to make when Great Day St Louis here filming me in my craft room. Thought maybe I should finish what I started. And I still haven't heard when that segment will air. Not that I'm in a hurry to see it, mind you.
It's just a mix of some Pink Paislee, some Bella Blvd & some SRM Stickers...
School starts next Wednesday. It's not my favorite day of the year, I have to say. Even though we can manage to get on each other's nerves sometimes, I miss Bryn when she's not here. So, since summer is just about over & I'll only have next Monday & Tuesday with her after she returns from the lake, we went to Six Flags on Monday with our friends. Haven't been there in at LEAST 20 years... probably more. The weather had actually cooled off a bit & a lot of schools in the area went back that day, so the lines were tolerable & we weren't totally sweating our butts off. It was fun!
I'll attempt to spend some time creating this week so I actually have something worth posting here. I'm not making any promises though, as I seem to be easily talked out of working these days.
Hope you're enjoying the end of your summer too!
For a "fake" layout, it's awfully cute!!
Good luck with back to school...

Love your mix of products. Totally cute :)
It's kind of crazy when we have weeks go by without creating. I'm having a hard time getting back into the groove of it . . .
Thankfully we still have three more weeks until school starts. Trying to enjoy the last bit of summer :)

Hey Deana! Love the birthday page! I like that "we serve creamy ice cream" sticker!!
I haven't created anything in forever, except a couple of REALLLLY simple cards. I need to get back in the swing of making stuff.
Glad you're having a good end-of-the-summer. We are too. This summer has flown by. Alison starts Kindergarten on Tuesday.

Sometimes a nice long break from crafting is the best thing you can do, especially after all the CHA madness you had going on. Keep enjoying the time with family and friends...it will give you lots of great scrap materials in the months ahead, right? :)

can totally relate to the break... I really needed it this summer... I'm still not up to par with my creating... but I'll get there... glad you had a time off to just have fun and enjoy love...
