I'm toying with the idea of selecting a theme for my summer, a sort of guiding principle or clear priority for the next three months.  I love the idea of this kind of clarity and I love how well it translates into a scrapbook.  Now if only I could narrow it down...summer reading, adventure, connection?

I recently attended my first Toastmasters conference.  Reflecting on my Toastmasters journey, I've learned that this organization is about so much more than public speaking.  It truly is about finding your voice and learning to share your unforgetable story.  Learning and growing with this incredible community has my creative energy flowing.  I can't wait to tell you all about it!

Join me for a fun episode packed with stories about the things that are currently making me happy and how I plan to include them in my scrapbook.  I'm talking about gardening, reading,and nail polish plus crafts and creativity.

I've got a fun challenge for storytellers, scrapbookers, and anyone who loves to journal.  Let's document our charitable work and tell the story of the personal connections we have to the causes we support.  Want to experience the satisfaction of making a difference this weekend?  It's as easy as picking up a few non perishable items on your grocery run and leaving them by the mailbox the Saturday!

Welcome to the April wrap up.  I'm currently planning my scrapbook layouts and many of my favorite photos came from the Big Three events we talked about at the beginning of the month.  There was so much good stuff going on in April!  To much of a good thing left me with a large number of competing priorities, a messy house, and an urge to plan for more balance next month.

My 35th high school reunion is this coming weekend.  As someone who is painfully introverted, social skills are something I work on.  I decided to try the ice breaker "what's keeping you busy these days?"  I'm also sharing how my Cloudy Stencil solved a case of crafter's block.

In this episode, I'm going solo to answer a listener question about how to reignite your scrapbooking passion after a hiatus. I share my experience with a recent layout, offer steps to ease back into the hobby, and talk about the importance of mindset and consistency. I'm also announcing a brief pause in podcast episodes for some behind-the-scenes updates and the upcoming celebration of our 300th episode.

The looming dread of tax day, a decision with unintended consquences, a frustrating project that fails to satisfy...so many circumstances can lead us to the place of nagging ick.  If you find yourself ruminating and you need to let something go, it can be helpful to have a resource in your art journal or smash book.  Today, I'm sharing the toolkit I use to change my attitude and make an energetic U turn.

As a leader, Kristie emphasizes the importance of creating space for employees to share their passions and encourages organizations to value their human capital. Through her experiences, she illustrates how this creative hobby has fostered a unique and effective approach to leadership and professional challenges. Episode Highlights · Kristie emphasizes the importance of thinking outside the box and being creative in problem-solving, which is enhanced by her hobby of card-making and scrapbooking. · She talks about how her crafting hobbies have helped her stay sane and bring joy to others, illustrating the importance of balancing work with personal passions. · Kristie highlights the need for leaders to be involved with their team beyond work-related performance, suggesting that understanding personal interests can boost productivity and morale. · She believes it's crucial for leaders to create environments where employees feel safe to express themselves and speak up, benefiting both individual and organizational growth. · Kristie shares her journey toward becoming more open and authentic about who she is and what she loves, demonstrating the power of self-acceptance and sharing one's true self with others.

It's time for my favorite part of planning, the monthly Big Three!  I've found that the three things I do to replenish my spirit often lead to my favorite photos and layouts.  This month several good things came in triplicate.  Listen in to find out more, plus vote for my next read.

Let's be honest; not every card comes out as planned.  I don't love all of my creations.  Lots of them delight me but some are just ok.  What do you do when a card project just isn't coming together?  What can you do when a card just feels meh?  I'm sharing my ideas and one important thing to remember in this episode.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Last week I made a really cute card featuring shamrocks and a die cut sentiment.   I challenged myself to find multiple uses for me die, which creates the word Lucky.  I came up with quotes, phrases, and even a song to fill me scrapbook pages.  I've even got ideas for a series of cards with the sentiment Lucky to have a friend like you.

Let's explore a new way to capture what we love about Spring.  This episode, inspired by Gretchen Rubin's Life In Five Senses, explores how we can document our memories and experiences with a focus on what we can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch.

In this episode, I introduce you to Kim B. who just celebrated her 44th wedding anniversary!  Kim and her hubby have lived in their farmhouse for the past 35 years. Her daughter is all grown up and busy raising 4 young daughters of her own. When her daughter told her about Organize 365®, Kim was all ears. Kim has always been organized but always open to ways of more efficiency.  In April of ‘21, Kim retired. We talked about that transition. There are no good sources or guides to tell us what to expect in these times of transition. Kim has stayed very busy with helping on the farm, watching her granddaughters 3 days a week, watching after her father's finances and visiting him at his living facility, and of course learning all kinds of skills she never had the time to before. She took a charcuterie board and sour dough class. What's next? Scrapbooking! After learning more about Organize 365® products, Kim crafted her own Sunday Basket® to make sure she'd use it. But she shared that, 4 weeks later when she got the Sunday Basket®, that the actual Sunday Basket® took her organization to a whole new level and the folders stand up! She loved that in the real Sunday Basket® she can place things like ink cartridges and pill bottles in it for Sunday. She even convinced her sister to get a Sunday Basket®. Kim feels good that when it comes time for her daughter to care for her and her husband, it'll be easier due to the organization she's doing now and the Medical, Home Resource, and Financial binders. She has more peace of mind knowing where paper work is for easy access and that the right paperwork is in order for the future. She took one week, working about 8 hours each day, and organized her storage. She'd set aside a few bins that she needed to have her husband go through. One night she treated it like date night and they went to the storage room together and “walked down memory lane” by going through those bins. Yes they got rid of stuff but even better he was happy they did that. Because in the beginning he wasn't too fond of her getting rid of things. Kim loves her life and is thankful that she can focus on things that are important to her and time with her family. Kim's advice is, “You just do a little bit at a time, one day at a time.” As her mother used to always say about everything she did for the holidays.

This week on the podcast Hallie and Katie download the big highlights of the last couple of weeks. Hallie opens up about the big hormone drop she's experienced since weaning her baby off of breastfeeding and reveals that with it, she's feeling some postpartum depression. Meanwhile, things are a bit more lighthearted over at Katie's house, where her husband, Jason, took the fam on a voyage to track down and secure the same green suede jacket Ryan Reynolds was recently spotted wearing. The mom-of-two also has a new movie recommendation for all the mamas out there, 'Nightbitch,' starring Amy Adams on Hulu.Looking ahead to the new year, Katie is hoping to invest time into herself and two new hobbies: pilates and scrapbooking. Hallie is ready to lock down a new routine for herself so she doesn't always feel like she's flying by the seat of her pants. But both mamas wish more than anything to continue to grow this podcast and this incredible community of women.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
