**Mention Sunday Scrappin' in your post with a link back to them.
**Go visit the other participants & leave comments to cheer on their creative efforts... this last part is optional, of course, but nice. ;)

I had a fantastic Friday! A few friends of mine belong to a church that used to host a scrapbooking time once a month. Well, they stopped doing this for about six months, but it has restarted, and I am so happy! I rarely have time to scrap at home because I am either A) cleaning, B) on the Internet, C) being disrupted by my family for one reason or another, D) grading papers or planning lessons, or E) finding something else I have to do! Besides, I need a place where I won't be in anyone's way, and they won't be in mine. More on that later.

Friday was fabulous. I didn't get a whole lot done because we also had dinner and a devotional, plus it's time to catch up with friends and make some new ones. I did get TWO 2-page layouts done, although they aren't my best efforts. It's more to add to the book!

As for my goals... I want to get at least one 2-page layout done every week. I'm already working on this week's, and it's taking me a little longer. You'll see why next week. I'm also considering going the digital route when I get to a point where I've got enough pictures saved to do so. See, I am still scrapping Easter of 2001. Yes, I am ashamed to admit it, but I am almost 7 whole years behind! If I decide to go digital, it won't be completely digital because I love the 12x12 layouts, and I will still want to do some of the photos I have by hand like team photos and school pictures because, quite frankly, I love the craftiness of it all. But I've got to get caught up one of these days. I took a break to do a Coloradao album and my wedding album (2nd marriage, so not very long.)

Also, when we got married 3 years ago, the plan was that I would have one of the bedrooms (there are five) for my stuff - computer, TV, phone, scrapbooking, school work. That didn't work out because the two who were sharing a room didn't really take to it, so everyone has their own bedroom. Now, one of them has gone off to college. Do I get my room yet? No. My husband doesn't want her to "lose" her room yet, even though she's not even here that much. It's a sticky situation. Here are two things I would love to have:

I am also working on getting organized so I can have everything in one place without having to unpack a million things to find one item. My husband is actually going to help me with shelving, etc. We're thinking I might be able to set up shop in the breakfast room since we don't really use it. (We do use the dining room, though. We're not heathens who eat over the sink!)

Bonus Question: I prefer to work with friends because we share a common interest, we giggle, we have fun. But I get more work done alone! And as I mentioned, I rarely scrap at home right now because of the lack of available space, but I'm working on it! Thanks for visiting me.
