I know. It's not as catchy as five on Friday. But somehow a weekend happened and it's Monday. It is what it is. =)
1 | It's reveal day for the Studio Calico Walden kits. I came >thisclose< to not having a gallery at all this month. Things have been busy behind the scenes at SC, and I wasn't sure I could squeeze in enough time with paper + glue. I ended up making a page and filling in some of September in my PL Handbook instead of cleaning this weekend. Priorities, people. ;)
NOTE : If you are a SC subscriber, you can shop for add-ons now. (If you're not, kit links will work after midnight EST) Remember, if you see "temporarily unavailable" under a kit, keep on watching. The SC shopping cart holds your items for 10 minutes as you shop, so many kits will become available as shoppers make their final decisions and check out.
2 | I finally got sucked in and downloaded Candy Crush. Already addicted. Proably should have kept resisting...
3 | I participated in an episode of the Paperclipping Roundtable last week. And while I spent the first 5-10 minutes being crazy nervous, it ended up being really fun. Monica McNeill and I chatted with Noell and Izzy about the Where the Boys Are project - and really, life with boys. I rambled on a bit about making the choice to be more deliberate about capturing my boys, and struggling with deciding which stories to share.
4| I go to Bowling Green in 1 week and Disney in 2 weeks and Des Moines for Thanksgiving in 4 weeks. And I'm trying not to panic about that.
5 | I'm knee deep in material for the three SC classes going live in November. Paint.Plan.Play with Ashley Goldberg, Send Joy with Lisa Spangler, and Gratitude Documented with Shanna Noel. Three totally different topics from three very talented teachers.... I'm kind of digging the inspiration overload.
Studio Calico offers three types of monthly kits - Scrapbook, Card & Project LifeĀ® - as well as add-on kits and shop items to complement them. A new kit is revealed on the 27th of each month (at noon EST if you're a subscriber, at midnight EST if you aren't). For more information (or to start your own subscription!), click here.
