Long story short, SMASHbooking didn't happen yesterday. It did, however, happen today. I worked on my home-themed SMASHbook.
(Do I really have to keep using caps to refer to a SMASHbook? It makes me feel like I'm yelling. I don't like it. From here on out, it's 'smashbooking' or 'smashbook', just so you know. I don't like to yell.)
I actually made quite a bit of progress. I finished our 'home buying timeline' pages, but there is just too much personal info on them for me to post photos here. I also smashed a few other random things on random pages for rooms in our house, but mostly, not enough to be interesting. So.
Here are three page sets that are still very much in progress. In order, they are: our farmer's porch, family room, and formal living room.
Farmer's porch
Family room
Formal living room (aka the "Blue" room)
And yes, I do have big plans. Please embrace them :)
(Did you see what I did there? If not, you will...)
First, I'd just like to say thank you for the bloggish support on going back to school. I got three comments, but the post itself got more hits than all but two of all my other posts have. So, you didn't comment, but you were interested. And I appreciate that. Very much!
(I would love to see you comment though. It would be amazing to know who is out there, reading and following me along my journey! *smile* Not comfortable leaving a comment? Send me an email and say hello!!)
Today was Day 4 of being a round-two college student. I am still adjusting, but getting there. I've finished reading, taking notes on lecture, and making flashcards for one class (Anatomy & Physiology) and am halfway through reading on the other (Aromatherapy 101). I never studied in high school, and rarely in college, so the amount of time I have been dedicating to my education this time around is taking some getting used to.
I'll get there.
Today was also Day 3 of a very, very cold snap of weather for us. Wind chills have made sure it's been several degrees below zero each day. The iPhone screencap below is from 7am this morning, and while my phone says it's warmer now (4F, feels like -10F), I think it is lying. The wind is howling way more now than it was this morning. Brrrr. Poor, poor animals outside :( :(
In other news, I am very determined to do some Smashbooking tomorrow. Are you familiar with this concept? No? Watch the video below, then. It changed my life. I'm not kidding.
Once upon a time, I used to scrapbook. I ended up getting very burned out trying to keep up with all of the latest trends and accessories/supplies. Fast forward to about a year ago, I saw this video and have been completely obsessed with the idea ever since. I have many ideas for many SMASH Books, but the only one I have going so far is a "Home" SMASH book, which documents our homebuying process and my decorating ideas for our new home. I'm in love with it. I'm also proud of it, which I rarely say about anything I create, fyi.
I will post some pictures of it soon. Possibly tomorrow!! :)
I also have plans to start a personal momentos one, as well as one for Lily's school stuff -- homework, artwork, etc. I have so many ideas, so many items waiting to be smashed! I just need to sit down and do it!!
