Thin Cuts Binder

Last month when I was attending a local consultant meeting, one of my friends pulled up a You Tube video of someone making a "Thin Cuts Binder".  I am going to be honest and for a split second I thought "why?" - then I watched the video and decided I NEEDED to make one for myself.

So you answer your "Why" question....  

CTMH is selling the thin cuts in a couple of different formats.  One format is with a matching stamp set. The other format is a stand alone thin cut. 

 It was the stand alone sets that were causing me trouble or so I thought....

My binder just came in and I thought "Yay!!! Now I can get organized". 

 Little did I know just how dis-organized I really was when it came to these thin cuts.  I had some in with the stamps and some in a bucket and some yet in the coordinating paper pack.  

Now that I have the binder I have all of the thin cuts in the binder with a note on the back on what stamp set goes with it and where that stamp is in my filing system.   

Well all but one... I can not find my Anchor Thin Cuts to save my life.

Making A.......

I am putting this here to hold myself accountable. As most of you know, I went back to work in August and while it is part time I do go in everyday. This has been the hard part... even when I worked full time, I only worked 3 (12 hour) shifts a week. That gave me one day to recover and 3 days a week to play (scrap). This going to work everyday, in the middle of the day has really been hard to adjust to as far as fitting in scrapping time.

My first thought was Monday: I have every Monday off but that quickly became the "get everything house related done" day. Laundry, groceries, various appointments. Then it was Sunday: This works sometimes but not consistent.

So here is my plan: 

After dinner and what not that goes along with the evening obligations I am giving myself permission to go upstairs and play in my scraproom. 

I am not sure why I have gotten it into my head that once Mike is home I can not play... this has never been the case and he normally will follow me up and sit next to me while I play. But I need to start making time for me. I miss scrapping and creating and I need it for my soul. It really is my "me time"

So this year and I am making it early... 

You know that resolution thing....

 I am making time for me time. My time to create, plan classes or just sit in my studio and contemplate the next CTMH convention or album retreat. 

Maybe even print some photos? 

It has been while since I have done that.

Speaking of photos? 

 I think most of my photos are on facebook this year.  It is time to get them off my phone and into a scrapbook.
