Feeling the urge and the creativity building

You would think after finally getting my scrapbooking room exactly the way I have always wanted it, I would be a scrapbooking maniac, creating pages upon pages of memories.  Has that happened?  Nope.  I have created all of ONE page since I got the room completed.  Just one little page.  I've spent an hour here and there organizing it a little better, adding my scrapbooking Christmas gifts to the mix of my collection of stuff, and sometimes just sitting there telling myself how much I love my room.  Not productive though.

Has my lack of scrapbooking stopped me from buying scrapbooking supplies?  Here'a another NOPE.  While I haven't spent a lot of money on supplies, I have a hard time resisting the new paper stacks from Die Cuts with a View.  DCWV are my favorite paper.   I will admit that I have refrained from my indulgence in new Disney embellishments even though it is hard.  I have also resisted the urge in buying a Bind-It-All.  So overall, buying a new paper stack here and there isn't that bad.  Right?

And....I won the MouseMemories January Post contest on Facebook.  I have spent many many pennies at http://www.mousememories.com/ in preparation for all of my WDW trips.  So, once they release new stuff from CHA, I will be spending my $20 gift certificate and hopefully not going over too much.  :)

So, why the post since I have been in a non-scrapbooking mode? Now that I have no excuses of my Colts playing on the weekend or any other football team as we seem to watch all the games, I see more uninterrupted time available.  Not really an excuse but I need to take advantage of my spare time.  With Chuck still in school, I have Friday nights and Saturday morning/ afternoons completely open.

The urge is slowly building.  I ordered some pictures that are non-Disney related (shocking, huh?).  I've been looking through my other scrapbooks.  I've been looking at some scrapbooking sites looking at other layouts to scraplift.  I've even gotten my sketchbook out and started doing some prelim sketches for some pages.  The urge is back and I have plenty to keep me busy.  I have two scrapbooks to complete from the PassPorter Decade of Dreams trip in May 2009, a scrapbook for Chuck's trip to Spain (still gotta get those pictures though), and lots of miscellaneous events that need to be scrapped.  My goal is to get enough page kits created so I can plan a crop at Archivers.  I get so much done at the crops.  Hopefully soon I can really find some people here in Louisville that will let me in there "Group" (that's a whole other blog), and get some fellow scrappers in the area. 

So, here I go.  the urge is there, the creativity is back, and the tools (plenty of tools) are available.  To kick off my goal in the right way, I'll be posting some of my favorite pages that I have created.  Enjoy!
