Good intentions gone bad...

So, I mentioned in my last post that I've had a difficult time scrapping lately. I've got some major blockage going on here, and it's very frustrating. Throw in a lack of quality scrap time ( too much on the go these days) and a general feeling of 'blahness' when I do actually find time to sit down and scrap, and this is what I get:

I had such hopes for this photo of my Mom and I, b/c I really love how sweet it is, and I wanted to do it justice, but it just didn't come out at all like planned. Don't you hate when that happens? Overthinking is never a good thing. I like 'flow' when I scrap, not agony. I actually bought another piece of the pink OA paper to re-do the journaling mess on the bottom, but I'm still drawing a blank as to what I want to do, so for now, it's staying this way. And try as I might to put some sort of (red) embellishment near the pic, nothing worked. Whatever!!! I'll probably set this page aside and leave it on my table until I come across something that works. It could take months folks, that's how anal I am. It's kind of sad, but I take comfort in the fact that there are others out there just like me. You know who you are, but I won't out you. ;p

I finished off the last of the Twilight series tonight, which may account for my somewhat negative mood. ;) It feels like I've had to say goodbye to people I love, and I hate that. I want Stephenie Meyer to just keep on writing Bella and Edward stories, and never stop. I love them that much. I'll even forgive her for okaying the cheesy 2nd rate script for the movie if she'll write at least 10 more books. Just keep it going woman, & people WILL read!I saw the movie last Sunday. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I wasn't sure how I felt until hours later, while laying in bed 1/2 way through reading Breaking Dawn, that I admitted to myself that it was in fact pretty awful. I hated the way everything happened so fast, there was no real character development, the editing was choppy, and there was just not enough spark between B&E. And I won't even get started on the bad make-up jobs, geesh. I've promised Bobby that I'll take him to see it if he reads the book first, ( he's going on 12, I think it's ok? It's pretty clean. And he's SOOO curious about it) so I'll be able to be more objective the 2nd time around, if I can keep myself from swooning like a love struck 16 year old over Edward/Rob in front of my kid... That was one bit of genius casting there, no question.

Here's a photo to prove my point:

I rest my case. :)

Have a great weekend. We're putting up our tree tomorrow, and it's still November! That's terribly exciting for a major procrastinator like myself.. ;)
