Although lately, it seems, Back to School starts right after the 4th of July and by the time the first day arrives, the stores are filled with fall, Halloween and even Christmas displays. Don't forget to take a breath and smell the new crayons and fresh notebooks for just a moment before dragging out the pumpkins!

I don't know about you but I LOVE making lists. Actually, it's not so much that I love them, it's that they are vital to my sanity! <br />
<br />
They help me stay organized, prevent me from forgetting things, keep my goals on track and most importantly they help me to clear my mind so I can function...and sleep at night! Life is a bit busy these days with my scrapbooking business, work, upcoming travel, my daughter's wedding and a new little endeavor...2 actually...that I will talk more about soon. It can definitely all be overwhelming at times. <br />
<br />
This morning as I was getting ready for work I was thinking about all that I need to get done in the next week. I admit, I was kinda freaking out a little bit. It might have been the somewhat random stack of vacation clothes and supplies my eyes landed on as I walked past the guest room or the pile of half completed scrapbook orders laying on my work table that need to get finished and out the door over the next few days or the box of wedding stuff that needs to get put in the mail to my daughter asap but is waiting for me to finish a little DIY project to add to the box first. <br />
<br />
So as my hair dryer was working it's magic it occurred to me that my frantic state is probably because I have not taken the time to get everything down on paper. So I tossed one of my many journals into my purse and promised myself that I would get it all down in black and white (ok, probably blue and white!) TODAY. <br />
<br />
And then, as if a prompt from the universe, I open my Pinterest account and see pin this from Janine Ripper's <a href="https://reflectionsfromaredhead.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course, these ideas could totally sidetrack me so for now I will have to add "make new lists" to my current "to do" list...right underneath finish scrapbook orders and pack my bags. :)</div>

Maybe it's just me but it seems like I have to do a LOT of research to make sure I'm buying the right golf club or tool and even clothes can present a problem when I'm thinking GQ and he's thinking "weekend white guy". Or maybe it's just that I'd rather shop for girl stuff. In any case, I'm guessing the guy in your life would appreciate a scrapbook of photos of his kids, their sporting events or even a few shots of his golf game. Throw one in his stocking and see what happens. :)<br />

I created this book over the weekend to put in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/apicketfencelife?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a>...and today just noticed that it is MY wedding colors! Ha. Didn't even notice as I was making it. This 6" book with 20 pages is the perfect "highlight" book for your wedding. Makes a great gift for parents or grandparents or just a condensed version of your "big book" to place on your coffee table or have at your desk when coworkers ask about your wedding. AND...I can even make it in YOUR wedding colors (instead of mine). All you have to do is ask! :) Oh yeah...click on the caption for photos of the inside!</div>

Of course, you have to have a book of the bridesmaids too! Wouldn't these make excellent bridesmaid gifts? Right up there with the mani/pedis and it will last longer!

Moms can be hard to buy for sometimes but she will always love a gift that you can personalize with photos of her and her kids. Oh, and here's a tip from someone whose mom has passed...you can never have too many pictures of you and your mom! You will treasure the ones you have long after she is gone and always wish you had more.

Ever had a bad nurse? Then you can really appreciate the good ones! Nurses do so much for us and they deserve some recognition. Wouldn't this make her day? You could even throw it in a gift basket with a bottle of wine, some cookies and a gift certificate for a foot massage!

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">"Just wanted to let you know that your autograph books were a HUGE hit at Disneyland. Literally......every character would sit there and flip through the book after they signed it. It was so funny. And then they would motion to me to ask, "Did I make this?" I told them that they are hand-made, but I ordered it through Etsy. They all seemed amazed that they were made out of paper bags. In fact, Mr. and Mrs. Incredible were together and motioning to each other to check out our books! I had people stopping me in line for the autographs asking me where I got them and how amazing they were! I'll send people your way if I can! Thanks again for such a wonderful job on those books. They are incredible, as always!"</span></em></div>

years!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s crazy to me that it’s been
that long.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Life just happened to get in
the way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First my mother was sick, then
passed away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I had knee surgery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I met the man of my dreams (okay, that
sounds a little cheesy…but it’s true!) and one thing led to another…engaged,
married, moved to a new city, new job, remodeled a house and moved again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond";"><span style="font-size: large;">All the while (or at least most of it) I’ve still been
scrapping and still been putting things in </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/apicketfencelife" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">my Etsy shop</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes full speed ahead and sometimes at a
slower pace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lately I’ve been
experimenting a bit with some new techniques, tools and products.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some things have made their way into my shop
but some are still in process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Usually I
find that my most inspired creations are those that come my way as custom
orders. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The challenge of finding the
right supplies and creating exactly what my customer has envisioned keeps me
excited and ready to put together the next book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: large;">I just finished a large order of wedding books that are a
quite a bit bigger than what’s typically in my shop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These books measured 8”x12” with 20 pages and
lots of inserts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My favorite little
embellishment was this car.</span></div>

Already?<p align="center"> </p> <p align="left"><font size="3">Back to school has a different feel around here this year.   Not 3 kids….not even 2 kids…this year I have only one that will be hitting the books.  Ceara is off to grad school this fall.  Long gone are the days of buying crayons and glue.  These days “school supplies” are more like “apartment supplies”.  But that’s okay.  I quickly sniffed a box of crayons and then moved to the aisle with ironing boards!  </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3">The schools in my town start on Aug. 5th and with temps today only in the low 70s it definitely feels like summer is fading fast.  I still have a month before classes start at my college but it won’t be long before I’m back there full time preparing for that first day.  It will be nice to see students back on campus.  I’ve been working a couple of days a week this summer and it is just too quiet without the kids. </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3">I must admit, it has been a pretty lazy summer…but I have been working on scrapbooks too.  Lots of custom orders (which is always fun) and even some new things for <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/apicketfencelife" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a>.  Some variations of old favorites…and some entirely new things too.  Here’s a sneak peek of some of what’s new…</font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-mbNwqfTOdhU/UfKfoMY2pAI/AAAAAAAACxo/xVLX5NWpdHY/s1600-h/kindergarten%252520kid%2525201%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="kindergarten kid 1" style="border-top: 0px;

And #3…why I’m feeling ever-so-slightly burned out these days.  </font></p> <p><font size="3">Over the past year or so, I’ve noticed a huge change in my business.  There was a time when I typically had 60-70 books listed in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/apicketfencelife" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a>.  These days, however, that rarely happens.  In fact, lately I’m lucky if I can bump that up over 35.  Am I creating fewer books?  Nope…more than ever.  These days more and more of the books I produce are for custom orders, some come through <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a> and others find me through different paths.   Obviously that’s a good thing…but the competitor in me likes to see BIG <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a> numbers!  Ha!  </font></p> <p><font size="3">One advantage I’ve noticed, however, in NOT listing items in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/apicketfencelife" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a> is that my best work (wonderful custom items) are not copied by other <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a> artists!   I know, having someone copy your designs is <em>supposed to be</em> a form of flattery…but seriously, does anyone really think that when it’s their work being copied?  Every time I search on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a> for paper bag scrapbooks I am frustrated by shops that have either copied my designs or copied my descriptions…or both!  I do know though, that it’s just the reality of the business.  So for the most part I rarely “search” and just feel fortunate that it hasn’t seemed to hurt my business….proving, I suppose, that there truly is enough business out there for us all! </font></p> <p><font size="3">So, what about the <strong>next</strong> 750 scrapbooks?  Hmmm.  I’m guessing there will be a little bit more of the same…and <em>more than</em> a little bit of change coming.  Every other area of my life has gone through a major change this year…so why not my scrapbooks too?!!!  Now…if I could just get caught up so I had time to change…..   ;)</font></p> <p><font size="3">I’d love to hear some of the ways you beat the “burn-out” in your creative life.</font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px;
