I haven&#39;t really scrapped since....last year...:-(<br /><br />its always hard to balance the needs of so many others and take time for yourself...good for you for doing it!!jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01443133395484273320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419239976631731952.post-44719747043853172672012-01-25T16:34:35.039-05:002012-01-25T16:34:35.039-05:00I am SO happy for you. I know you have missed this time and perhaps getting &#39;caught&#39; up...well, you know as caught up as you can get in eight short hours!<br />xoBusy Bee Suzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18115487928147732314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419239976631731952.post-45421325581472480792012-01-25T09:14:05.497-05:002012-01-25T09:14:05.497-05:00Two comments in one week....a record for me these days when I barely have time to brush my teeth! <br />Just wanted to say that I could have written the first 2 paragraphs myself! You masterfully articulated EXACTLY how I feel most days! I&#39;m really trying to find the time for myself here and there among the busy-ness of our lives because I KNOW that it makes me a better, happier wife, mother, and person. It&#39;s still hard, though...I feel guilty especially when all the thoughts of what I SHOULD be doing creep in. I think the only reason I even agreed to it the first time Bobbi asked me was because scrapbooking itself was on my to-do list, and so I would be accomplishing SOMEthing. That was probably 2 years ago, and as you saw Saturday, I&#39;ve become less concerned with getting something done and really just try to enjoy some time &quot;being selfish&quot; and doing (or NOT doing) whatever I want for a few hours....though I REALLY do need to work on those scrapbooks (wink wink)! Hope to see you again next month! Oh, and talk about real indulgence...Camp Crop-a-lot includes a hotel stay and buffet breakfasts and lunches (all the while being close enough to drive home as needed!). I REALLY had to struggle to give myself permission to do that one year (did I mention that the money also makes me feel guilty?) Trying to let go of the guilt this year...and every year! :)Wendinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419239976631731952.post-47415291414448572352012-01-25T08:52:43.898-05:002012-01-25T08:52:43.898-05:00Oh it sounds like so much fun! I miss paper scrapping. I gave it up for digital scrapping because I just don&#39;t have the space for it right now. But there is something about the paper in your hands-- holding the pictures-- all that-- that is special. :)togetherforgoodhttp://togetherforgood.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419239976631731952.post-1545212767680436112012-01-25T07:20:04.861-05:002012-01-25T07:20:04.861-05:00I&#39;m experiencing this right now. Things will go on without me. I have to find the balance. You encourage me with your scrapbooking. I must begin again.Southern Galhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06101132263339427001noreply@blogger.com
