I'm curious. How much time do you spend on a layout? On average. I think mine average 15-20 minutes max. And they show it LOL As my only "art" its either easy and I know what I want or its hard and I leave it simple. But I feel like maybe I'm not taking enough time to really create art (not looking for compliments, just thinking outloud). My layouts fit me. But I see the craft and art you all create and I wonder, how much time do you spend per layout?

I just managed to upload 1 layout when my laptop conked, again...

Last time I lost a lot of stash. I was able to get it back from Angie. I was going to do backups today, but of course, I didn't. 🤔

6 week post-op appointment yesterday...no more sling, increase PT to 3 times a week and I can drive again. Just in time Granddaughter arrives tomorrow of a week of adventures with us.

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

Last day of watching "Fall" movies, tomorrow I'll be binge watching Christmas movies through the holidays

Floors start going in today...she be all finished with this renovation by Wed

My shoulder replacement was a month ago already...just starting to be able to scrap a little...so far behind I hope I can catch up. 2 more weeks and I can drive...I want freedom

Update. 1 week post op..surgery went well. Less pain. I’ll be glad to be out of the block sling so I can move my arm a little. Thank you all for the notes. I want to scrap. 

On Tuesday I will be getting a shoulder replacement so will not be able to scrap for 3-4 weeks till I can take the sling off. I will be watching from the sidelines!!!  Happy Scrapping ScrapGirls

We arrived home yesterday after 117 days  camping. 8,436 miles to 33 campsites,13 states.

I am so happy, had to share the news. Got this message a few minutes ago: "Your art piece, I'm Rare, matched all contest rules and guidelines and has moved forward to judging." So Awesome!! Incidentally, this is the same piece that made it into New Hampshire's Institute of Disabilities 2024 calendar!

Traveling to SC today and will see Amy (mimes1) tomorrow for a fun day at Riverbanks Zoo.

Well the Dr says I’m a tough old broad. A car rolled over my leg tonight. I was helping a neighbor move her car, we were pushing, suddenly it started moving, I tried to jump in and pull the handbrake, and I fell over, and it rolled right over me. I went to the ER, bruised, scraped, but miraculously no broken bones! I’m in a lot of pain, but ok. I’m just lucky it never rolled over my hips or torso. Just have a follow up and things to watch out for. But I didn’t die. Lol.

I am So very thankful to have found SG and all the wonderful people here!! I have learned so much! The "how to" pages are so incredible. And I love love love that you all share your pages here so I (and others) can see and learn all the amazing ways to scrap. I am so thankful for all our artists who make such incredible products that I can use! Thank you all who put on challenges! Really stretches me in how to scrap, what I can do, and how many ways it can be interpreted. My heart is overflowing with joy and love I find here and all the encouragement! Thanks you Scrap Girl Community!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Well today we start heading South slowly. Travel is so interesting. Should be home end of the  first week in Sept.

We are at our farthest point North and East on this trip in Bar Harbor Maine--1,616 miles from home. 77 day trip so far.

I have a problem. All my stash is sorted into my organiser. There are three people with the same initials. 

• Silvia Romeo
• Susie Roberts
• Syndee Rogers
• I've done a search in the organiser but I don't know who SRO is. I found Silvia Romeo under Silvia, but what are the other two?

Sorry all that I haven't been around this week.  My dad was admitted to the emergency room on Tuesday.  So I've been dealing with that, helping take care of their dog, etc.  

I want to send a private message to @Celestine. My mailbox is full. I don't know how to access it to empty it. There is not an option to send Celestine a PM. I don't know how to send my Fill in the Blanks form. 

Don't forget you have through the weekend to finish all your games/challenges and the sale will last until Sunday for those busy playing along all week and didn't have time to shop

It's a month on the road already !!!.. picking up camp today to go the to a state park in PA so not sure I will have any service at all. I finished my non-traditional bingo today..Phew!

All LO's look  awesome just not much time for me to make comments.

Yesterday mimes1-Amy with her husband and daughter came to hang out with us at the campsite....We had a very enjoyable day. If you ever have a chance to meet her...do it.

My computer has broken down. Probably from all the layouts that I did in the last 2 months. I had to take it in today. That is why I was rushing to finish my bingo. The guy says he doesn't know if he can retrieve anything. I've got 2 months of SG stash that I will have to download again. 😪 Not to even mention the photos.

I am forever thankful I found SG and all of you! ❤️ My scrapbooks have been so private and I never share outside of the family as I dont think I know what I am doing. You have all been so wonderful encouraging me to share and then helping me make my pages so much better. When I have questions you all answer right away!! From emails answered within an hour to many questions @Celestine who answered them all and then some. @MariJ @Jane in N.Z @Boatlady @barbaraj and so many others! Your positive comments on my pages means more to me then you will ever truly know. Thank you so much for being supportive and a wonderful group! I have found my new home away From home and feel so loved! Thank you!!!!
