Filofax Fun
I could easily become a planner addict. I love looking at all the amazing layouts people do, and the fun goodies they use. And they always look so crisp and organised. Sadly, I'm not that organised, but I do keep a bullet journal. And I love to scrapbook, though I seem to craft in phases - sewing phase, knitting phase, scrapping phase, clay phase, etc. I found some really fun summer papers and made some scalloped summer papers for scrapping or filofax fun.

Facio Ergo Sum
As the world keeps moving faster, it seems we've progressed from books to newspapers and magazines, then to blogs, to Facebook, to Twitter and Vines. Next we'll probably be at 2-second vids. Short and sweet is the theme of the year month day hour minute. Even the planet itself is becoming impatient, with earthquakes in Chile and Japan (among others) shortening the length of Earth's days.
More quickly than I can believe, my kids are growing up. Mollusc is off to one of the nation's top design schools next year. (Nationally in the top 3, #1 in the Midwest.) Her first 2 years of college have yielded straight 4.0s (Yay homeschooling! And OK, it doesn't hurt that she's brilliant and a hard worker.) and she'll transfer to this much more expensive school with the bulk of her liberal arts courses already completed and a nice scholarship to boot. Sluggie is at this moment in San Antonio at Nerd Nation as an officer with the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, (of which Mollusc is also a member.) Fishy is off to Middle College next year, too, which will leave only the Prawn at home with me. And so, with fewer kids to teach, I've been creating more and getting back to writing as well. My age-old fear of failure has me still re-writing the book I've been writing for years, but I'm going to pull the trigger, finally, as I have other books cooking that want to come out. My self-imposed deadline for submission is June. In the meantime, I procrastinate whenever possible by doing this:
