Satisfaction is...

The one and only layout submitted!!

Thanks Heather!!
Your a superstar!!
Even if only one person tells there story, it is a story worth telling!

The next challenge will launch SOON...

But in the meantime-a question...
Has your scrapbooking been impacted by the economy in any way??

Another Challenge!!

OK ladies! The cold virus took hold. Getting through the everyday was hard enough!

Thanks for hangin' with me!! I am high on cold medicine trying to catch up at 2 am!!

With Spring coming, and the holiday just a bit back, this should be an easy challenge.
If you think about what makes you smile, this will be an easy challenge! If you really think about it, you have idea. I bet ya do!

They don't ALWAYS have to be hard!!

But I will say, I am planning on picking the submission with the most journaling as the winner! :)
I am!
OK, we'll see, but I want to see it AND read it!!

WHAT is satisfaction to you? What makes you feel satisfied? Is it something big, like an accomplishment, or something little like an empty laundry basket (THAT'S an accomplishment! LOL!) What IS satisfaction? Satisfaction is...

Tell us!

And from our designers:

Thanks ladies!!

Speaking of gettin' them to us-here are the fabulous submissions from the last challenge!!

Thank you for the inspiration!!!Thank you for sharing your struggles with us!

FINALLY, a CHALLENGE already!! :)

Pickin' up where we left off!!

Thanks for your patience!!
My QODT on my blog the other say was: "Patience is the art of hoping."
I am hoping we'll have some participants! :)
I am moved, and moved again, and moved the store I work at...
:)
So here we go! :)

OK...

What do you struggle with most??
Do you have a vice, an issue you need to vent about, a person you can't seem to get out of your mind, and need to make amends? What do YOU struggle with most? An addiction, an obsession... you name it!!

Here are a few examples from our "Authors":
Sasha
(WOOT WOOT-Sasha can be seen in SCRAPBOOK TRENDS THIS month-February issue! TWO layouts too! Way to go-rockin' awesome!! :) )

There are days that I struggle to keep smiling

I often imagine this sunny safe place that I call

home when I get like that. I still find it hard for me

to completely just let it go. I do not like living in

misery or sadness, but sometimes it just takes over

it does not help some of the shows on tv, some of the

books I read, but I guess I just have to realize that I am

safe now, I am making a difference not just for me

but my family .. and that to me should not be viewed

As a struggle but just more so as an accomplishment

I didn't put a picture of the whole deal, but it is a GREAT RAK full of Flower Patch goodness!! :)

How about a RAK???

How about some of the NEW Making Memories???
Flower Patch??
THIS is some fantastic paper!!
You will get paper, embellishment, a JOURNALING notebook, and a stamp set!!

What 'cha think??

Just leave a comment, until Weds. when we launch the FIRST challenge of the year, and you could WIN!!
I will use a random number generator!

THANK you everyone for the kind comments and emails!!
It is encouraging!
I hate to be a dissapointment to ANYONE!

And I am SO inspired by all I see each challenge!!
Thanks for hangin' with me!
(I am SO not cool enough to say that! LOL!)

OK, girls! Leave your comment, tell your friends!!

Thank you...

...for your patience!
I am planning to start again next week!
I work and teach at a scrapbooking store that has been moving these past weeks.

Please be patient!
We will return with a RAK and some GREAT challenges and layouts!

I take the anon. comment to heart. It is disappointing...
We are sharing the responsibility when we come back-which allows each of us to express our creativity by coming up with challenges, and sharing the load.
It is GREATLY appreciated, you patients!
When you start something like this, you don't always know how much time it will take.
I could quit, but instead I am doing my best to figure out a way to keep it comin' and to continue to be inspiring!

Again, I hate to delay this long, I do, but live and learn!! I am learning what I am and am not capable of!!

Thanks again!

I know, I know...

... this is NOT the way to start the new year!! :)

I should have taken a challenge off!! So that is what we are going to do!
(or did!)

I will come back with a Big RAK, and a fun challenge!

In the meantime, THANK you ladies, for checking back!!
