Monthly Paper Kit Club

I've posted a few pictures on Facebook of the beautiful paper kit I received from Cathy Michaels Design... thought I'd give you all a closer look. I love these papers! I love the look of them. I love opening the package and finding all the goodies hidden inside.

Cathy's card with contact information just in case you want to join the club! :)

April's package arrived today. Can't wait to see what's inside!

DLP - Week 13

I'm happy with week 13! Our challenge was to have someone else start the page, so a friend just drew lines on the page and that was that. I used Cathy Bluteau's technique that I learned in her 21 Secrets class. It was one of my favorite classes and I think she's still offering it on her website at a reduced rate. It's definitely worth taking! I forgot how much fun it was to make these little decorative squares!

On the inside flap I used photocopies of two of my 52 pick up cards and just colored the hearts to give them more pop. The center page is a collage of some of the items I love using, vintage photos and flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cathy Bluteau Art Class for $5.00!! Hurry!

This is pretty unbelievable, but it's true. Cathy Bluteau is offering the class she taught in 21 Secrets for $5.00!! She's just extended her offer to 1/31/13. If you don't take advantage of this, you really need your head examined.

I joined 21 Secrets in 2013 and Cathy's class was one of my favorites! Every time I look at this page I'm amazed that I made it. I love it. I love Cathy. And you will too!

Biting off more than I can chew

No wonder I can't get anything done! I have so much going on that I don't know what to do next. I take too many classes for one thing. I'm not finished with one when I sign up for another. And do I finish all the classes I sign up for? No. But I watch all the videos and think about all the things I'm going to do!

Christy Sobelewski has a new class that I want to take, 30 pages in 90 days. I'm ready to sign up for it, but I know I'll never finish the classes I have going on now if I do. And even though I'll have a whole year to finish Christy's class, I'll get side tracked by the other unfinished classes, and nothing will get done. I have classes in 21 Secrets to do yet, a class with Cathy Bluteau that I just started, Cotton Candy Girls which remains unfinished, a Junelle Jacobson class that I think I'm running out of time on, and against my own better judgment I started ICAD! Stop the madness!!

I can't do them all at once and I know it! Back in March, I wrote "No More Classes in 2013" in one of my journals...hahahaha. But then something happens, like I buy a cheap sewing machine and take the Remains of the Day class! Did I make a journal? No. Have I used the sewing machine....? No.

I know there are other classes. I just don't remember them at the moment.

I used to do swaps. I loved swaps. I spend too much money when I swap.

I think I'm a video addict but I can't be sure it's a real disease. I know my addiction to Facebook is real. I bought a Kindle so I could take FB with me wherever I go. It frustrates me so I don't use it much.

These are the problems I face each day. Let me tell you, retirement isn't easy.

I wonder if I still have time to sign up for Christy's class?
