Happy Thanksgiving!! 

Today has been a laid back day. We didn't do a big family get together this year. None of us really wanted to do that. We all just wanted to chill out on our own. Except for tonight. Laura talked me into going to Black Friday sale at Wal-Mart then Kohl's tonight. A family affair - except for no Brian. It'll be Laura, Carl and me. We already have our plan of action - what we want to get depending on when goes on sale and who is getting what so don't miss out on something. I feel like we are going on a mission. I guess in a way we are. I'm meeting Laura & Carl at Wal-Mart early so we can do recon on the store. I've not done Black Friday in so long. This is going to be so much fun!!  Maybe next year Brian can be here for it. I think this should be the start of a new family tradition.

But I didn't just lay around all day.  I did complete another page kit.  One a day, remember? So here's the one I did today.

One more down and so many more to go.  Lol.

I let you know how tonight goes.

Motivated

So I decided to get motivated and start working on some page kits.  I finished one I had started a couple of weeks ago.  I love the page kits from Out On A Limb Scrapbooking.  The kits have high quality paper and everything is cut out.  All I have to do is chalk the edges and put together.  Great for when I want to do something crafty but don't want to put a lot of creative effort into it. Sometimes I get so caught in making pages "perfect" that I end up making the process complicated and don't get finished. So here's what I got done today.  All I have to do is add the pictures and my journaling.

How cute is this?

I figure if I do a page kit a day by the time I get back to work in the spring I may have them all done. Or close to it.  I've collected quite a few.  They are very addictive. :)

Update

Love Out Loud - Joyce Meyer

Just thought I would post an update.  I'm still here but it's been a hectic time since I moved.  Trying to unpack and organize.  Found out I was being laid off by the end of the year for the winter. My son, Brian, came up from Atlanta for a week's visit and that was great.  We went to Monticello in Charlottesville and the Dulles Smithsonian in Chantilly. Got lots of fabulous pictures. We spent time with my daughter and grandchildren.  Lots of family time.  Not long after that Hurricane Sandy came through but didn't affect where I'm at too much other than lots of rain.  However the storm that come through West Virginia hit my mother hard and she lost power.  Since she has limited mobility and lives by herself, off to WV I went to get her.  She stayed with me for almost two weeks then returned home. Whew!! It's been busy. 

 I still don't have my sewing/craft room unpacked and organized. The rest of my house is almost done.  I just need to do a few minor readjustments here and there.  I've not gotten any of my projects on my bucket list done but don't think even if my sewing room was done I'd of been able to work on anything.  The good thing about getting laid of for a couple of month is that I will have the time and energy to get all of my house stuff done. And projects done.  I am so looking forward to that.
