  1. Heading out to the garage soon to help DH pull the Christmas trees down from storage!  Was planning to clean and decorate all day today, but now will have to take a break to go roller skating...

      Oh funny.   Kids! :)

      I had to chuckle, Mikelle! I know the feeling! Have fun decorating when you are able to get to it!

  2. Do we have a November monthly game?

    1. alsoarty

      I believe we do... not sure when it will be posted.

      It's posted now, Hodge Podge November!

      Thank you!  Yay, I remember getting lots of LO's done last November!

  3. Going through my SS supplies, I pulled out all of my photomasks - this will be much easier.  So many neat SS supplies, I think I'll build layouts around some of them!

      I really need to sit down with my SS supplies and play, too. Too bad we don't live closer, we could play together!

      So much fun.

      It really helps to categorize your stash—even breaking up kits to do that. I have folders of frames, masks, overlays, flowers, ribbons etc, so when I want something, I don't have to go through a heap of kits to find what I'm after. You still need to make sure you know who designed it though, if you're going to credit the designer in the gallery, so the name on each item will help you with that as long as you don't change it. All our products start with our initials, followed by the name of the kit/product. Whatever makes your creativity easier is certainly worthwhile. Tagging is another way of categorizing products, just takes time to do it though! :)

  4. Took a couple of days off work to recover from this nasty cold.  Going through my SS supplies... this is a little overwhelming!

      Hope you feel better soon, rest and scrap yeah! 

    2. LauraYB

      LauraYB

      LOL-been there, done that (overwhelmed by stash)! 

      I wish you a speedy recovery!

  5. I don’t think I’ve seen so many layouts for one challenge... very popular junk drawer challenge!

    1. Boatlady

      Boatlady

      Well, I have to thank you for that compliment, I think!!!

    2. MariJ

      MariJ

      Yes, it was a great one, Debby and your first!   You started out with a bang, it was fun to do and fun to share in everyone's pages and junk drawers!

    3. Mikelle

      Mikelle

      It was fun looking through everyone's junk drawers, too...  :lol:

  6. Oh, it's a 3 day weekend and I have so much scrapbooking to do!!!  Where to begin?

    1. MariJ

      MariJ

      Sounds great. :)

      Hee hee; what a dilemma!

  7. The two LO's I lost don't print well at 72 dpi.  Going to try to recreate them.  Thank goodness for the supply lists we post with our LO's!

    1. MariJ

      MariJ

      You sure did a great job recreating them Mikelle and so quickly too! :)

  8. I was wandering through my own gallery, enjoying memories, and came across two LO's I haven't printed.  I can't find them anywhere!  They are from Mischief Week 2011.  I remember doing them, and remember exactly where I was... but I didn't have this computer then.  =(

      That happened to me once. I had them printed with a company online even though there was a warning not too. They came back a bit blurry or I guess pixelated. :(

    3. Mikelle

      Mikelle

      Glad I was able to print one here at home, to see how it looked, so I knew not to print the other one.  Wasted ink on the one, but oh well.  The new LO's are now both printed!

    4. MariJ

      MariJ

      Wow, good going Mikelle! :)

  9. Just pushed the button on my shopping cart full of retiring products, and now downloading them... before we lose electricity!:huh:

    1. scrapgran

      scrapgran

      Me too, Mikelle. Hopefully having some new products will help bring back the mojo.

    2. Florida granny

      I hope you don't have to scrap by candlelight! :) Thanks for keeping in touch.

  10. Hurricane is on the way, should be an interesting weekend!

      Stay safe, let us know that you are ok.

      So far we've had the wind come up off and on, but not scary in San Antonio yet.  Corpus looks awful, from watching the news.

    4. Florida granny

      thanks for the update, Mikelle. Stay safe!

  11. I'm on a mission this weekend (along with school clothes shopping) to scrap LO's of my kids' first birthday parties.  Can you believe I've not done that yet?  They were asking to see those photos last night.

    1. MariJ

      MariJ

      Can't wait to see them!  So sweet they were looking for them. 

  12. I just bought a digital photo frame and loaded all of my finished LOs onto it.  Took it to work today and let it scroll.  So neat to see all my layouts during the day!

      I gave my mom one years ago.  I think I need to get it and update it!  

    3. Mikelle

      Mikelle

      I like it so much, after staring at it for 2 days, that eventually I think I'll get a larger one to mount on a wall at home somewhere.  I do like it, but it's made me realize how much I have to scrap... still so many photos and events to document!

    4. jenrou

      I ordered one last night. Thanks for the idea.:)

  13. Back from vacation!  Took lots of photos, and now have a lot to catch up on.

      Welcome back! Look forward to seeing all those wonderful photos in your layouts.

  14. Shannon's doing a color challenge/chat right now!!!  Under Sale-abration.

      Thanks Mikelle!  For some reason I don't have a What's new option on my bar to post a status! I did put it on FAcebook LOL

  15. The store says I already have Brandy Murry's Shabby Bakery Collection.  Do I really?!!  I can't find it in my stash, if so, but that would be great news!  Can someone check my massive buying history for me?  :rolleyes:  And if I did buy it, send me the link again?

      :rofl:

      Oh gosh, I've encountered the same problem.. . . Once upon a time, I was keeping an Excel grid but even THAT got out of hand! Now my index is a crap shoot! LOLOL

      Me too, Laura, it's all too hard to keep up with. 

    3. Becster

      Becster

      I stopped using the Exel grid when the store format changed a year or so ago. I was no longer able to copy and paste from my purchase history.

    4. LauraYB

      LauraYB

      Yeah, when one is in the boutique all the time, the rather long list takes too long to copy back and forth. I opted for the 4 TB EHD and indexing takes care of the rest.

  16. Oooo!  the 1000x1000 LO view is wonderful!

    1. diannecp

      diannecp

      agreed! 1000%!

  17. I love all the Mom layouts in the gallery!

    1. diannecp

      diannecp

      me too. especially all the b&w photos! 

    2. MariJ

      MariJ

      Yes, me too - really been enjoying them all.

  18. Is there a link for the chat room?  Are the scheduled INSD events chats?  It's 9:00 ET right now... I feel like I'm missing out!  :unsure:

      Not a problem.  I do like the new site, and change always takes patience.  The timing, though... discontinued on May 1st, just as SG is transitioning to the new site!

      I'm lost...where did the chat room go?

      No chat room anymore. :( But if you want to do the challenge and chat, come join me on this thread:

  19. Is there still a way to see just our own gallery, or just another member's gallery?  I can't seem to find my own layouts all in one place.

      Thanks Marilyn and Carla!!!!

    3. MariJ

      MariJ

      Yes, I agree Dianne, it's way too many steps and you have to do them each time!   But, I was SO happy to see at least there was a way to find my Gallery.   You should have seen me last night trying to find the Motivators Posted chart, since I'd posted it in some obscure gallery and usually just go to my own to update.  This time it took me a lot of searching to find it and I thought I was going to have yet another issue!!   Whew...

    4. Mikelle

      Mikelle

      Thank you!  I figured the ability to easily find individual galleries would come back eventually... but wasn't sure if I was missing something in the meantime.  

  20. I'm at a conference in Newport, RI right now.  Beautiful place, and I hope to have some time away from the conference to walk around!  And take photos, although all I have is my cell phone.

    1. alsoarty

      alsoarty

      Lucky! I've always wanted to go to RI. Phone photos sometimes are just great!

      We are from CT right next door and keep our boat right across the border so you are in our old stomping ground. We have spent some time in the bay with our boat. It is a beautiful waterfront and the mansions are truely amazing. I hope you get out to see a little.

      Sometimes I great shots with my phone. Hope you get a change to look around a bit.

  21. I think I'll work on my Project Life LO's this weekend... very behind.

      I'm missing my "looking-through-layouts" fix each morning, there's gonna be a lot to look at when we can post again! :D

    4. Mikelle

      Mikelle

      I like the big LO's... I've been scrolling through my own gallery, looking at each nice giant LO! =D

  23. I'm stuck on a layout... DH walked into my office and said "When in doubt, add some zombies."

      That made me laugh. Your DH has a great sense of humor. I'll have to remember this the next time I get stuck.

    3. Mikelle

      Mikelle

      I think I'll make an LO with zombies... just to make him happy!
