It must be the travel blues!! I go into the scrap room and do a circle right back out the door!! But I need to start making lists, get things done, and get a move along too!! Maybe next month!! I love your layouts as usual, they are beautiful and bright...and document your lovely family!<br />Look forward to catching up at the E2C retreat. Until then, keep at it chickie...love what you do!! xxSuePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585431171561422588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254026.post-53456417139212329752015-01-13T21:50:32.345+10:302015-01-13T21:50:32.345+10:30oh Mardi.

I don't know what the answer is - but i do have this awesome friend who i wrote an email to and she told me not to be too hard on myself and gave me a list of tips to try. I really value her opinion as she's an inspirational scrapbooker and KNOWS HER SHIT. Hope you are back on track soon - tackle things one day at a time and listen to that little voice inside us that is saying 'ease up - i'm doing the best i can'. amanda hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17901465122717544199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254026.post-10300564766956049272015-01-11T19:36:34.962+10:302015-01-11T19:36:34.962+10:30I am loving the class Raquel....its so good to fin...I am loving the class Raquel....its so good to finally use my Silhouette...and maybe make use of some of the cut files I've been purchasing instead of just filing them and never looking at them again.

Its so hard ...Oh Sue... maybe we have travel blues?<br />Its so hard to snap out of though isn't it... that's why I found this class helpful...I didn't have to think..I just had to listen..smile ..nod..and follow instructions. I am hoping it might kick start my excitement in other areas...like cleaning out the tupperware cupboard...haha<br />Good girl ..back to Curves...I need to find myself something gentler...and get going again...wish me luck.<br />Mardi xxMardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972267519815125181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254026.post-39455858356920411472015-01-11T10:57:17.326+10:302015-01-11T10:57:17.326+10:30Yep...

I told it as it is... perhaps I should have title the post #keepingitreal...haha <br /> I have thoroughly enjoyed writing and editing the photos for our travel posts... sometimes as I am writing I can almost smell the day.... or feel the breeze... its so real still.... how lucky that we can keep these memories alive so long after the day..just by the trigger of an image.<br />I've been thinking of you ,.. and a blog catch up is on my agenda too. xxMardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972267519815125181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254026.post-25191349602961737002015-01-11T10:50:34.238+10:302015-01-11T10:50:34.238+10:30Oh Meredith....I know what its like... when you ge...Oh Meredith....I know what its like... when you get out of the groove its so hard ..not to mention time consuming getting started again.. I would wander in...shuffle papers... and then think..."Oh its all too hard...Ill flip myself onto the couch with a book instead" but inside...I really wanted to be creative again. Layouts into albums!! Omgosh...I need to do that SO badly. Do you have an album for each of the kids? or chronological? or just random? I am wondering what to do there...so in true Mardi style...I've done nothing yet. I am SO glad you have got your motivation back. I reckon this will be a great year creatively for us all... bring on the retreat!!<br />Much love...Mardi xx<br />Oh and unfinished pages....I SO need to do that...you have inspired me!!<br />Mardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972267519815125181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254026.post-42516476386532589552015-01-11T09:17:09.239+10:302015-01-11T09:17:09.239+10:30I'm so pleased you've got your mojo back. ...I'm so pleased you've got your mojo back. You explained the loss so beautifully and is me to a tee at the moment. Unsettled, discontented and unmotivated. I walk into my sewing room I love and I just sit and sit, not knowing where to start. I walk around the house thinking I should be cleaning and sorting but again, I don't know where to start and I end up doing nothing. It's so unlike me. Maybe I'll just pick a project and allow myself time just for me and hopefully my mojo in all areas will come back too. And I'm back to Curves Monday!!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305592809762422356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254026.post-45930573343826498832015-01-10T22:45:15.828+10:302015-01-10T22:45:15.828+10:30They are all beautiful.

I've had this on my mind the past couple of weeks but haven't been willing for fear of being interrupted, having to beak up fights, feed kids and so on. But here I go..it's approaching midnight, I have a cup of tea and my comfy jarmies on but the best bit..not a creature is stirring.Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18266691379070059672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254026.post-67966774823308438542015-01-10T21:54:58.168+10:302015-01-10T21:54:58.168+10:30Love your layouts and work :-) I have barely scrap...Love your layouts and work :-) I have barely scrapped this year apart from the 2 retreats. Today I thought I would put some layouts into albums ... oh my goodness ... it was cathartic!! LOL!! I filed some layouts and then went onto making two layouts and then found more layouts to put into albums and then finished off a few unfinished pages!! I was so thrilled at the end of it all!! Tomorrow I am hoping to do some more ;-) <br />layouts that just needed a date and embellishments!! I now feel back on track!! Yay!! I feel excited about scrapping again soon :-)Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10157083181064607857noreply@blogger.com
