Bad Blogger

Well Blogger has been causing me all kinds of problems this week by not letting me upload my photos. Then Friday I was able to upload this photo and got a warning that Blogger had a scheduled outage in 3 minutes so I had to quick save and wait to post again! Argh!

Well I actually took Friday off as a mental health vacation day and had intended to clean the house to get ready for the visit from my in-laws on Thursday but.......

I ended up spending the whole day scrapping. I figured out that I can run DVDs on my computer next to my scrapbook table and that opened up a whole new world of movies to watch while I work. This picture shows a little bit of what I have been working on. I started the cross country trip album and got about 10-12 pages done. This picture shows the title page and the state dividers that I made during the week. I will post the other layouts next week.

I am not sure how to account for these pages toward my goal. Each page is only 8x8 and they are much easier to generate because they all follow a theme. I will have to think about it.

As you can see I also got my Quickutz handle and put it to good use making the title. I have to say I have not been loving it as much as I hoped. The letters rarely cut out completely so I am usually finishing them off with scissors. I have been fiddling with the dies and have gotten better at using the system but it still isn't as problem free as I would like. I am glad I didn't pay $200 to get started. It could also be that my handle is used and a new one would work better at first.
Anyway, this weekend I WILL be cleaning the house. It has been raining for the last 3 days so the garden is flooded again but if it dries up we will get out and do some weeding. Have a great weekend!
