Applied

I applied for the Design team & to be a moderator at ScrapMommies. I really like that site. I'd like to be a bigger part of it, helping out. I like their kits & it would be nice to work with them. I've been only buying fundraising kits lately, so some free kits would be nice.

It's also be nice to moderate some place where people are not at each other's throats all the time.

Determination

Derek spent a great deal of time trying to get the shovel to stay up in the tree branch.  He was so intense & determined as he went about it.

I used the DSP Sunshine kit and fonts Bradley hand & Signboard

Getting Organized

I went through my installed fonts & moved 70% of them to my new My Fonts file & categorized them. I have a couple dozen serif fonts that are the EXACT same thing under different names.

I reorganized my scrap folders to include website under the kit folders & then moved kits into the right folders

I've visited the 6-8 websites I've been checking out & posting on for the past couple of weeks & made a list of each site's challenges & chats that I like. I've got them all arranged on a calendar now. I plan to spend the rest of the month visiting the sites, checking out the stuff & seeing what I end up doing regularly. I've already dropped a few sites. I don't want this to get out of hand. DSP, DSD, 3S & Scrap Mommies seem to be the ones I like most, though RAK & POTH have possibilities.

I think I may sign up for 3 classes at DSP this October - Intro to PSP, Layout Design & Creating Word Art. This will set me back $65 when Brad's job is not all that secure but if I don't take them now, who knows when I might get the chance. Brad & I have talked about it. We're both more of the 'live the high life while you can' sort than the 'start saving now' sort. This is not good in the long run but the loan the business was hoping for has come through so I've decided to be an optimist and take the chance.

Now I need to wade through all my PSP links & sort out what is actually useful & what i have already printed out & what can be saved to my PC & clean the whole folder out. I don't know how Gizmo does it. She always has the greatest links & several times I've discovered I already had them too. I need to *use* them. But i want to get organized first.

Then I need to organize the crochet & cross stitch & quilt stuff. Someday...

Drake version 2.0

This is an updated version of the second page I ever created.  I shrank some things down, added the clips (by KT) and a small block of journaling.

Old Friends LO

I did this for the scraplift challenge on digiscrapdivas.com.  The pic is of my freaky friends & I in Detroit at our big meetup this past May.
