MERRY MONTH OF MAY

Nice weather is upon us and the birds are singing a happy tune. Our yard is beginning to take on different shades of green and is in need of some attention. In one month our son will be graduating from high school and we are having a celebration party for him which means all the yard projects that we have been putting off, have to get done. That’s okay, I work best under pressure. Since we’ll have all the projects completed in one month, we will have the rest of the summer to enjoy the fruits of our labor.

As I diligently continue to complete a scrapbook to display from our sons party I continue to find amazing graphics among all of my Creatables. In fact, in the process of searching for a graphic to use in his scrapbook, I found some that would work perfect in my Sister scrapbook and I swayed off target a bit and did a few layouts for that book.

I guess procrastination and distraction are a few of my character traits or flaws. No matter what makes up your character, take the time to enjoy what you have accomplished or take a little time to do something you’ve always wanted to do.

Happy Scrapping,
Julie
