A Beautiful Day..

It's a beautiful day here in Lafayette, IN....cool, but sunny and we needed the sunshine after the last few days of rain and gray skies. It actually invigorated me to get busy purging my clothes...and I did it all. I cannot believe how much I actually got rid of and still have a full closet and dresser, just amazing. I also purged some of my shoes, which made my DH very happy. Of course, I'll have to do this again next year--you know get rid of things that I didn't wear this year!! LOL...

Now I'm ready to start scrapbooking some of our old trip pictures, starting with a trip in 1994 to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia and Gettysburg, PA. I have HF's pictures printed but need to do the ones for Gettysbury. I also have pictures printed out of a trip to The Hermitage in Tennessee that we stopped at in 2007..maybe one of these days I'll get them all in an album, but I'm finding it hard to get myself motivated with them. I really enjoy scrapping but these pictures don't have people in them..just sites, you know empty fields, cannons, monuments, etc....yes, there are a couple of my DH standing next to things, but otherwise they are rather boring to scrap. But I'll do it anyway, I've already purchased the papers and embellishments so they have to get done...just dragging my feet on it at moment. I need new pictures of my grandkids to scrap then maybe I'll get my motivation to do the travel ones in between doing some fun layouts. Maybe my friend Bonnie will come over and give me the motivation I need to get started..of course, she is always working on something too..like right now she's duplicating a nostaglic album that we did in a class at our old LSS before they closed. She needs help doing that because I have the Cricut machine and that was used to cut out page stuff on all the pages..so that's an incentive for her to come over, if she ever wants to get them done.

Well, I guess it's time to start thinking about what we're going to do for supper and then I have to make a few phone calls. I need to see how my son's first week back to work after his surgery went and then call my mother and see how she's doing today. Better run now.
