ScrapHappy

Ok, so it's obvious from the last couple of entires that I'm in a foul "poor me" mood. I need to get myself out of it.

I've been doing some things lately for my scrapping. I actually looked up calls and contests for the next month and sorted pics I could crop for them. I worked on 2 entries for BH One Sketch, Many Looks calls for November and December. Here they are:
For nov:





For dec:




I probably don't have much of a chance because there are so many talented people out there submitting but I've been wanting to do this.

I also applied for a writing/creative position at an ezine. I was accepted and am republishing a series of article on using design principles in scrapbooking and will be continuing the series. I've submitted some layouts and cards to them as well for the next ezine. I'm really excited to see my work in the ezine.

Lastly, I'm going to be working in a scrapbooking store 3 or 4 times a month. I think that's the thing that I am most exited about. I'm going to working on Saturday nights for their crop night or on Sundays. There is no way that Mike's job can interfere with those days because they are closed!!! I can't wait to get started. I go in for some training toomorrow night. I can't wait to be around all those goodies! I'm certainly not doing it for the money!! The pay is not great but the discount is 30%, which is really nice. Of course the best part is that I get to get out of the house and be around people who enjoy this crazy, addictive hobby of mine. I can do classes if I want and work on pages for the store. It's the store that I've been going to for the last couple of years so I already know the people there.

So scrappin' should keep me happy and sane while we get through this rough period.
