After having a mojo famine, I tried an experiment ...fueled by Julia's thoughts on the subject of creating. Instead of pondering long and hard over one LO, as I normally do, and having other LO ideas fly in and out of the space between my ears but rarely managing to stay there ... I decided to work on several LO at the same time, moving papers around between a group of selected photos. The idea is to think about them all at the same time. When it comes to journalling and embellishments the same sort of process applies. I suddenly realized that it is exactly what my daughter ...and probably most of you do ... when preparing for a crop. I however don't ... I seem only take the bits for one and maybe a half done one to finish. Most of my time at a crop is spent chatting... yes I am one of those irritating people that can put you off attending again ... but I do try to chat about scrapping lol.
The result has been interesting as I only started yesterday. So far I have prepared ...4 SLO's and a double .... by tomorrow they should be 3/4 done and ready to post by Saturday ...well that's the theory. If it works I will have done more than I have ever managed in less than a week. I have to say that they all have a heritage theme.
Now ... for those of you who have a weak disposition and are naturally ... or compulsively... tidy
LOOK AWAY NOW
This is my area at the moment ...I have just left it to do this . I have bagged them up by LO ....just in case a feline, or two, decide that they are comfy enough to sleep on.
Last but not least ...Ben and Jake went to Ireland for a holiday, to visit their other Nana and these are three of the photos I was sent ...there are so many ... you may get more later.
Not sure why the first two are small !!!!
Hopefully I will be back in a few days, with lots of LO's done
Take Care xx

Such a cute dressing gown! And of course the little one inside. :)
Great idea to work on a few LO's at the same time! it seems to be working and fingers crossed you'll have them done my the weekend :) Ben and Jake look like they are loving the beach and those monster dressing gowns are so sweet!!!
I am exactly the same - 1 LO at a time, and that takes me at least a week - look forward to seeing how many you complete.
Ah Angie, looks like you're really turning that theory into a real life run with it result! Go You!
But bring the babies with you - they are soooo lovely - had a butchers at a couple pics of them on Jay's blog last night!
Yay for you!!! Trying something different!!! When I attend a crop I always preplanned pages and never got them all done...because I love to chat too!!! I would spend more time being social than scrapping!!! The boys are so adorable.....Can't wait to see what you come up with!!! Happy Wednesday!!!! Love and smiles to you!!! :)
OMG those boys are just too cute!
At crops i just drink tea and eat cake, I thought thats what everybody did lol My bag rarely even gets unpacked no matter how many projects I take with me.
I'm so impressed - it looks so organised. You and Julia may be on to something here :)
awwww, they are getting SO big!!!
glad to hear your mojo is returning, if you find mine can you please send it my way XPRESS POST..lol
meant to tell you..found this blog and thought it might come in handy for mojo boosting
and also this forum has a good idea going that Im going to try :0)
last time..I promise..lol
please drop me a line at vi.christiansen@three.com.au
"talk" soon :0)
I love the pix of your family - so cute. And your desk looks the business LOL!
This sounds like an idea I ought to try. Sometimes a LO can take me all day. Perhaps this method would take me longer, but avarage out at less time per page - if you see what I mean?! Scrapping's always good fun, although I no longer go to a scrap club.
Ben and Jake look to be having good fun too.
