just wanna scrap...

lately,

all i wanna do is scrap.

the problem with that is 

i feel like i have forgotten how.

before the store

and when i had the store,

i was so into scrapping.

i knew all about product,

techniques, trends, designers, companies,

everything.

i definitely feel out of the loop with all of that.

i miss scrapping so much.

i miss knowing all about that stuff.

and, lately, all i wanna do is scrap.

i just registered for Girls Gone Crafty.

it's a weekend of scrapping

that takes place in Houma.

i am so excited for it.

i absolutely can not wait 

to scrap for three whole days.

i have been working on SMASH books 

for the past few months so i plan on 

doing tons of layouts at GGC.

i just ordered lots of great stuff

from two peas 

and i had planned to scrap all day today.

unfortunately, 

i ended up being sick all day,

so, that didn't happen.

however,

tonite, i spent some time 

poking around the internet looking

at different sites and blogs

just to get a taste 

of what's going on in the scrap world these days.

here are some layouts that i found

that i love.

definitely some lovely

work that is very inspiring.

this week,

i am hoping to, maybe,

do a few layouts

and then start a huge cleaning and purging

in my scrap room.

i am also considering a small makeover.

i want to change up the furniture 

and some of the things that i use to organize my stuff.

i have been seeing some super inspiring studios lately

and it has me itching to do a facelift.

i am planning a trip to my fave stores this weekend

to find some stuff for this little room of mine.

i would love for your guys to share how

you organize your stuff.

i like stuff that is pretty and practical.

it feels that doesn't really exist.

happy scrapping.

ash.
