and in still other news, and update from my weekend. I thought I was doing better on thursday after learning that I didn't make the webster's pages team on wedneday. But when it came time to scrap, I wasnt so sure. I procrastinated it a little. Then I finally made myself do it because the scrapbook nook was having an online crop. Well that just made it worse. I felt like I had to complete all of these layouts this weekend for the crop, and as I worked on them, not feeling the mojo at all, I was thinking WHAT am I doing this for! I am making layouts that I don't like. I am making myself do my hobby when I don't feel like it, and for what? So I stopped. Then I felt depressed. Then finally I said, 'screw it! I am going to scrap because I wanna scrap, and I am just going to play. I am not 'in it to win it' with

this Nook crop thing, and that's ok.' So I scrapped a little more. I played with my cricut (which I had had for about 6 months and never really took the time to learn how to use.) I played with my texture boutique and did some embossing. I dug through my scraps and pulled out things that I loved even though they weren't current and weren't going to win me anything. and it was good.

Here is a page that I am loving right now, from a sketch that I made for myself last week in anticipation of the crop. I am really into monochromatic and borders and textures right now. can ya tell? lol oh and this is some of the pink paislee stuff that was in that prize pack!
