Back in the saddle again...

I'm slowly finding my way through that beginning of September fog that I'm sure everyone with school-age kids experiences. It's funny how you can get so used to that lovely slow summer routine, however short it may be, and find it so hard to get back to the hectic pace that we crazily maintain all through the fall and winter months. I don't know about you, but I much prefer summer mode, it's just SO much easier and relaxed. There's probably a reason I yell way less in the summer, do you think there's a correlation there? ;)

I'm sure by now you've heard about Cathy Zielske's class, Design your Life, going on over at Big Picture Scrapbooking. I signed up last week, because as everyone pretty much knows, I have a ginormous crush on her, and there was no way José I was going to miss out on a Cathy class. It promises to be lots of fun, and I'm hoping to come out of it with a bunch of lovely layouts that I probably would not have done otherwise, because I'm one of those lazy scrappers who does a page a month, give or take a few... in fact, I was so fired up about this class that I went ahead and enrolled in my friend Elizabeth's class too, ( also at BPS ) and which also looks like it's going to be completely amazing, if her book is anything to go by. The class is called Red Letter Days, and there's only a few more days to sign up for it before registration closes and you miss out on some cool stuff, so go for it! The best part is that it's a total steal at only 18$, and you can't beat that.

Here's the page I did as the pre-assignment for Cathy's class. Haven't even started Elizabeth's yet.. I'm hoping tomorrow. This took way longer than it should have, because between work and other stuff, it just kind of got left sitting on my table all week, and I added and subtracted things every once in a while when I passed by. Oh, and I was supposed to use a Kraft background, but the white cardstock voice in my head just kept calling out to me....

Happy 1st day of Fall!
