Project 52–{Week 8} Cabin Fever

This photo prompt could have not been more timely as last night another cold front pushed it’s way across the plains.  There was of course the telltale line of clouds marching across the evening sky, but the real sign of change was in the bitter north wind.

Of course, I know i have absolutely no right to complain – we’ve been blessed with a very mild winter..nothing like the 18 inches of snow we had last year!  But even so, I am no stranger to a little cabin fever.  And for me, nothing cures what ails like a little scrapbooking. Smile

I have a little table set up in the basement, so while Tripp is watching his Chasing Bigfoot reruns, I work on a variety of paper crafts.  Last week it was making cards for a little workshop, and this week I started gathering materials for a vacation album.

(Yes I am just now scrapbooking my vacation pictures from last summer.)

I finally got around to having our vacation pictures printed and I was planning to work on the album all weekend.  But then I got a phone call from my delightful daughter saying she was coming home this weekend!  Smile

So this little project will have to wait. 

And now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to run to the store for snacks.  And laundry detergent. Smile

Love, Kelly

    I love that first picture. And your scrapbooking station looks like fun – I keep thinking that it’s something I’d like to do someday.

    Hope you had a great weekend with your daughter!

    Great candid shots of your scrapbooking. I don’t have the patience for that, so my hat is off to you.

    I enjoy scrap booking, too. Isn’t it great when they come home from college. So much to talk about and laundry to do. Enjoy.

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
