the 1/2 hour challenge!

On Monday, I decided I need to put all my new supplies that I bought during the Shop Hop to use. Then I quickly became over whelmed as I started pulling out bags filled with glimmer mist and chip boards and more stickers! Luckily, I had taken my pre printed pics with me to the scrap stores and purchased stuff that I needed for current pictures. All this while my kids are sitting next to me in the kitchen and coloring. Since they only sit semi still for about an hour, I just had enough time to put my stuff in my scrapbook bag and picture w/paper. That whole morning I kept thinking, I need to get my pages done, even if i only have half an hour. Later while they napped for about 30 minutes I quickly pulled out only my essentials and decided to get a page done (the one on the left). So it looks simple, but guess what, it's done! On Tuesday, I sat down and did the other page, and guess what... now I got a layout done! I have come to realize that I can add my glitter and glam on fridays at crop/workshop, since that's the day my dad or hubby watch the kids.

In 30 minutes you can:
5 min: pull out pics, paper, and stickers (ect)
5 min: layout and trim pics
5 min: mount pics and stickers
5 min: journal
5 min: make notes on post-its of what is missing and you want to embellish with and CLEAN UP!

SMILE you did a page! Before the week ends, you'll have 2 layouts done... maybe one day I'll be caught up again and have time for card making!
