Sunday crafting and this and that

I spent most of today working on my Project Life book via the computer. I'm starting to like digital scrapbooking more and more. It doesn't save me any time but it's less space and less messy. I also worked on a traditional mini scrapbook too.



I really want to create some 3 x 4 journaling cards and 4 x 6 cards to share but it appears all the digital paper I have is for "personal use only". You really have to read the small print policies from the people you buy the paper from. Once I find some paper that can be shared with others, I will offer some freebies.


I find this so cute! My husband keeps threatening me with a dog. I had a dog about 15 years ago and haven't had one since.



Have you tried these chips? The Lay's Sriracha chips? They just came out two weeks ago. I'm not sure if it's a Southwest regional thing or not. In the past year, I've discovered I like spicy food. I can see these chips being somewhat addicting!

I made some 3x4 cards!

For my monthly scrapbook night, we are starting a Project Life group. Right now we are planning on exchanging 3 x 4 cards so, I made a few today. 



I decided I should get out all those "good" fortunes I save from my fortune cookies and use the fortunes for "sayings". I only keep the good ones!

A disappointing night!

Once a month, I attend a scrapbook night with a great bunch of creative and fun ladies! Well, last night I was looking so forward to going since I missed last month because I was too sick. I wasn't feeling all that bad during the day so I thought for sure I would be able to go. While I was packing up my car, I was in so much pain I barely made it out the garage. I thought the atmosphere of being with good company would somehow change my pain. It didn't! I had to pack up and leave early. I was so bummed.


On to my new round of drugs. Have I mentioned I've been sick for thirty-five days?? I have been in an endless cycle of coughing at night, irritating the inflammation in my lungs and causing severe chest pain. I'm hoping for some relief. I have been so blessed by caring and supportive friends. I have one friend that asks me each day how I'm doing. What a pal! I bet she can't wait for the day I tell her "I feel great". Bless her heart, I'm so lucky to have her in my life!

Project Life January

Here are some inserts I made and a page from my Project Life January





After I put January together, I realized I wasn't in any of the pictures. I was MIA. Probably because I was sick all of January. I'm sure I was quite a sight!

Missing out this year

The beginning of February is one of the reasons I love living in Sunny Arizona. The Gem Show is every February. It is one of the largest Gem Shows in the world (believe it or not). There are a bunch of Gem Shows within the city. I usually only attend two of them. Sadly this year I probably cannot attend because of my illness.


The parking lot to the event is super dusty and because of my lung problems right now, it doesn't look like a good choice for me. There are also so many people sick, I just can't afford to get sick again!
I suppose I could wear a mask, but then I'd just feel silly and I would stick out too much! Well, hopefully next year it will work out!
