Every month around this time I like to do what I call an "Unboxing"  

Sure!  You've seen them before!  You know you have!  Everyone has their thing that they like to "Unbox" or show a "Haul".  I scrapbook, therefore I Unbox my Kiwi Club Kit from Kiwi Lane! 

This post is to share with you my "Unboxing" of the July 2024 Kiwi Club Kit titled "Anchored to Freedom". 

Enjoy!

New Beginnings

 At the end of last year I decided that I was going to restart my Blog.

I haven't been here for almost four years and I decided that it was start to Restart. But why did I stop?  I'm not sure...could be a lot of things.  I think it was mainly me wanting to be invisible to "haters".  

You know what a hater is right?  A person who no matter how much you try to be nice, you just can't seem to make them happy.  So what do you do?  You go into the woodwork and stay away.

And that what I did.

For the past four years I have stayed away.  No crops.  No retreats.  No classes.  No weekend group get-togethers.  

Why?  Haters.  I know I shouldn't let other peoples action govern the way I live my life.  But, when it's a group of people and not just a single, that's where it gets tricky, and that's why I stayed away.  

Two weeks ago I decided that I was done with them.  And it's time to focus on me and what I like to do! 

Which is create.

So today I  restarting my Blog.  It's time for me to rejoin the crafting world!  and to start it off, I'm sharing my YouTube Channel.

Earlier today I taped a video showcasing the latest Kiwi Lane Kiwi Club Kit.  What better way to start anew than by sharing my Hobby with you all.  But, I just realized, I can't really call it a Hobby.  Scrapbooking has been a part of my life for almost 30 years.  That's a lifetime to some! 

I'm going to share my YouTube video in another post....I have to relearn everything here and not sure how long that will take.  But posting something out to the world was my main goal today!

Scratch that item off of the "To Do List"!

Happy Sunday!

It's Mother's Day today...are you celebrating?

Here at our house, it's just a normal Sunday.  Working, Grocery Store, Cooking Dinner.  That's it. lol

It may be a "normal" day here, but I wanted to pop on and share some of my recent layouts with you all! These of course will be added to my Etsy store sometime this week :-)

Enjoy!

And she's back!

You know how it is?

You think you know your password.
But it's wrong.

You think you signed in with one of your email accounts.
But it's wrong.

After spending a "little" while trying to remember passwords, usernames, etc., I am HAPPY to say...I"m back!

I've decided to come back to the Blogging world.

It's an escape of the everyday...A place where I can share things going on, things I create, things i want to say and things I want to show people.

A lot has gone on since I last posted...and a lot is going on right now.

But my motto for the year is "Be Happy".

I know, I know...how can you be happy with the way the world is right now.  And the answer is, that there is always "something" to be HAPPY about.

Jill 

Yes, I am still here!

Yes, it's been awhile since I blogged.

A LONG while!

Things happen.

But today I decided to come back.

Yes, I'm still creating and scrapbooking.  I think I'll be doing that forever! It's a part of me, a part that I love! 

Years ago someone said I needed a hobby, and i got one.  I'm lucky it's one that I enjoy doing every single day.

It brings me joy!

And Joy is something that everyone should have :-)

So....would you like to see a few layouts that i created in the past year?

Some of have seen them, some have not, but I love them!

So to answer a few questions...

Yes I still create.
Yes I still am an Instructor with Kiwi Lane (5 years now!)
and Yes, I still have my Etsy Store where I sell the layouts that I create!  (link is up in the top right)

It was a good day to start back up again, don't you think?
