new list

I've been in a creative rut lately......I've hardly done any scrapbooking, and I just haven't been in the mood to drag out all my supplies after the kids go to bed. I have been looking into digital scrapbooking again.....it's so much easier to just pull out my computer, do a little work and then shut it down (no muss, no fuss!!) The problem is, I'm not exactly computer savvy, so it's a work in progress :)

I've also been spending way too much time looking at blogs and other inspirational sights. There is definitely a fine line between being inspired and feeling like the life has been sucked right out of my brain!! Once again, it's all about BALANCE!!

I did see a cute idea on one of the blogs I read regularly and here is my take on the challenge:

32 before I turn 33:

1. Take a knitting class (hopefully, I can check this one off my list tomorrow)

2. Take Sienna to the Dallas Museum of Art

3. Bake cupcakes with the kids

5. Clean out my drawers and closet and keep only the items I really LOVE
