Today I crammed myself in a tiny spot at that desk you saw in the photo yesterday. Don't even ask how. And yes, something may have fallen on my head. Should have worn this helmet:

I'll have to remember that next time.Scrapbooking while wearing a helmet. Hmm. I might be on to something.

Anyway, I carved some creative time out. Literally :). And now I feel better.

Off to unearth my camera charger. And a pair of shoes other than my flip flops. And maybe I'll try to organize the playroom. On second thought, that terrifies me. Just pretend I never said that, and I'll keep the playroom door closed. Problem solved.

[Nirupama]

So cute.. love how you mix stuff with such ease. The playroom....door closed, best plan ever

[Emily]

Love that layout!! What size photo did you use and where'd you get it printed or did you print it yourself? I have a shelf in my scrap room with a really sharp corner that I could've used a helmet for several times - you def could be onto something! Now I'm just scared to go over there haha!

[Stephanie Howell]

HA! RE: the photo, I printed it at home. I think it's around 5.5x5.5!

[Lisa]

[Kim Boken]

LOL! Yes, I agree..my girls room I definitely keep the door closed! No questions asked!

[Kirsten J]

I adore your ability to do two things: scrap and make homes in a variety of situations.

Here's a story for ya: once upon a time I had a three year old of my own.. And my neighbor had a 5, 3, and 18 month old. So I was trying to do some yard work and looked over to see Janelle washing her husbands truck with the 5 year old helping, the 3 year old in the truck bed, and the baby in a carrier on her back. I went over and told her she was either shaming me or inspiring me. Her response? "I hope I'm shamefully inspiring you!"

[justem]

can't wait to see the house when it's all done up stephanie - style. :) and a picture of you wearing that helmet wouldn't be all bad, either. ;)

[Jen Thompson]
