KI + self pity

Hey friends...

I know, can you believe I am actually blogging? It's like an April Fools joke or something.

I came out of hiding to tell you I am hosting the blog challenge over on the KI Memories Blog this week and our topic is "Scrap a Noise or Conversation..." as you can see from this page I made about Drake and his incessant barking issue. He is an earsplitter, that one.

Anyway, I would be super tickled if you wanted to come on over and join in!

I am so glad I took these pictures of John and Drake, because otherwise, I really don't know what the heck I would've scrapbooked. I am having a bit of a challenge lately with my creativity. It has died a slow and painful death. Life is poopy, lots of changes and stuff I am not used to, and it's sucked the life out of me. I am not feeling very "cheery" lately...and honestly...unless you like being a tortured artist, it's hard to be creative when you feel like a big pile of crap.

Ok, maybe it's not THAT bad, I'm just in a "transitional" place in my life right now, and it's full of ups and downs, annnnd...I'm on a diet (day 7...whee) so I can't eat my feelings anymore.

:D

So, that's why I am MIA. I am just grumpy these days, and no one likes a grumpy blogger. Unless that grumpy blogger has an entertaining life, which I do not. Unless you want to know my take on VH1 reality shows or how dirty my kitchen is...if you find that entertaining, then heck, I might have something to talk about!

I promise, as soon as I can pull my head out of my ass, I will get back to being a better blogger.

Until then, come make a page with me at KI.

Hi Jen- I know exactly how you are feeling these days- so glad to hear that I'm not alone!! Change is definitely hard.

FAB layout...sorry that you are feeling icky-guy-pan...hope you perk up soon :)

I LOVE this layout. It really captures the moment the way a video would. It's like watching it all in slow motion.
Awesome job!

[Stephanie Wheeler]

Take all the time you need. No sense in forcing it. I've been going through the same thing for about a month...so just take some time and it will all come back eventually ;)

Sorry you're in a funk! I love your blog, but I'm not sure if I've commented before.

Thanks a million for signing the back for me and the little note you included is just the cutest thing ever. I can't wait to hang it in my "office" for everyone to drool over!
