Got My Mojo BACK!!!!

Those two trips and then loosing a member of my team to a better position really zapped my scrappy mojo.  For a while, I thought it might be gone for good.  I panicked a little and then I waited and rested and suddenly when the list was shorter and I was less stressed I started getting the pull to go back to my desk.  What really helped was that I literally boxed up everything I had put out to work on and then started over - choosing what I was going to do and not just what was on my scrapbook to do pile.  As soon as I freed myself to choose the project - not a long over due one or a half finished something - the magic came back.  And it is back with a vengeance. Holy crap - the layouts are just coming together.  They may not be awesome, they might be a little simple, but they are easing me back in and making me super happy.

I have four - yes, FOUR Cocoa Daisy kits to work with - three of which haven't been touched.  And you know what?  It's ok - cause they are really giving me a lot of flexibility to work with whatever picture I want to create whatever feel I am in the mood for at the moment. So there!  Guilt trip gone.

Here is the annual first and last day of school layout.  Love it.  Love them.  Love this tradition.

Conference photo - look close, can you see the snow?  Amazing paper - great effect.  AND I actually scrapped a photo of me (no kids!)!

Friends are the best - glad to capture this moment with Amanda.  Gosh it's been nearly 20 years since we've seen each other.  That's too long. Need to find the pics from the last time and scrap them too!

So there - I am back.  Just in time to head off to a two week trip where I will take a TON of photos - I am so ready.  Hope your summer is off to a good scrappy start.
