New LO ADSR Challenge #2


Well we just made the deadline on challenge #2 from Elemental Scraps. The fun thing about the race is that it forces you to scrap. Sometimes, I get so caught up in other things (especially downloading freebies) that I don't have time to do a LO. For instance my Saturday was insane. First, it started snowing on Friday night and was not supposed to stop until Saturday afternoon. So my first stop was the LifeTime Fitness Club where I took the 8:15 a.m. Pilates Class, then used the treadmill for an hour, came home and took a shower and by that time it was 11:15. I headed up to the food pantry to make a donation of pet food and what should have been a 10 minute trip turned into 30 minutes. Finished up there and was home by 12:30. Dried my hair quickly, threw on some make-up and took my daughter to a doctor's appt she had at 1:00 p.m. Home again by 2:15. Ate lunch quickly, then we were off again to Crystal Lake for a math tutoring session. I don't know what it is but I do not remember Trigonometry as being so hard when I was in HS. Now I don't even know sine from cosine. This tutor is brilliant, she is an EE and tutors kids on ACT exams etc... We left there at 4:15 and then it was home where my son was waiting to go to the library. Instead I took my daughter over to Target as they had a sale on the furniture she wanted and like Murphy's law, they had to get it from the back room. Now it was 5:15 and my husband and I were supposed to be meeting friends for dinner in Schaumburg, 40 minutes away. Well I blew it! By the time we got the furniture and picked up my kids' take out from "On the Border" I wasn't home until 5:40. My husband let me have it....but we did make it to Lalo's by 6:25. Then home by 10:00. Then I did my feebies search and off to bed. Anyway this is why I ended up working on our team LO all day Sunday. Since it was a collaboration, I would send it to my sister in California for changes/suggestions and she would send it back, etc... We did get it in before the deadline which was 11:00 p.m. Central Time. Then my daughter asked me to read her English paper....but that's another story....

Sorry for the Wait


Boy, the holidays really ran me ragged. Thought I would have plenty of time to get everything done but my scrapping had to take a back seat. I'm back on track now. I have entered with my sister THE AMAZING DIGISCRAPPING RACE at Natural Designs in Scrapbooking. We have to work as a team sometimes posting to LO's and sometimes working together on one. This is my first time running the race, so we'll see....
I am also working on Project 365, which is to take a picture a day for 365 days. You have probably seen it on a variety of blogs. I have decided that if I do a week at a time that would be 52 pages of course and I can't afford to print 52 pages (although I could do a digibook). Instead I think I will capture it by month. I'll post a template tomorrow in case you would like to do the same thing. In the meantime here is my entry for the Race-Challenge #1:
