I'm working on starting a new life. 
It's often scary and feels out of place.

I work too much.
I worry too much.

I know it is time to slow down.
I know it is time to hit reset.

I'm trying. 

I've been thinking about my pure love for scrapbooking. 
I've been thinking about how it's been lost in piles, and work and frustration.
I know it is time for reset.

I know it is time for realistic goals.

I made about five 8.5x11 scrapbook pages last year for my personal life, and that was in my son's medical journal. 
That is pathetic.

So I've been organizing my OWN PERSONAL space, and spending time thinking about this realistically.  I've decided that setting SOME GOAL to get SOMETHING done for ME PERSONALLY is worth thinking about. 

I have spent the last week organizing my stuff in a totally different manner.  It has been a huge job, but I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel and I'm so thrilled to have it organized in a way that matches my thinking.  (what joy to store those rifle brads with the hunting paper, with the camo ribbon, etc).  I gave myself permission to throw away the old system I used.  I didn't work and it was doing nothing but discouraging me from even going into my scrapbook space! 

Now I'm going to make a realistic goal for the Month of February.  Are you ready?
My goal is get at least two scrapbook pages done this month.  Surely it is realistic to make this goal.

Let me encourage YOU! 
What is a realistic goal for February? 
Perhaps you already find time to scrapbook and can do more than I can.
I would love to see your posts on our facebook about your goals for February.
What motivates you to find the time to scrapbook?

If you could of lived with me in 2012 you would of FELT what you see in the photo above.  A giant page in my life turning, turning, turning.  It was an exciting, exhausting, terrifying and wonderful year.  We sold our home in Illinois and purchased land in Indiana, which will have to be developed.  We moved to a rental.  My son purchased a home in Indiana.  We spent time helping him to prepare the house for his new bride!  

This son of mine is a gift.  You might remember how he struggled to LIVE after a staff infection ate a whole in spine.  What a story of mercy, grace and answered prayer he is! Our son fell in love with a young lady that we LOVE too!  She is a DELIGHTFUL young lady who brings much happiness and balance to my very serious son.  Remember ladies, when you think all is lost and God isn't listening to your prayers HE IS!  Keep praying!
 
The wedding was in September, Covered Bridge in October, Scrap Camp in November.
To add excitement to our already "boring " year we bought a home in Perrysville, Indiana to move the business to. 
 
Our plan was to move the shop into the garage which is on site and remodel the interior of the house for a crafting retreat center.  (I've been asked quite a bit if we live in the house and we do not.)
 
It looked simple.
It looked EASY.
It looked fun.
 
It was NOT.
 
We have spent nearly every waking hour since November working on our new residence for the business and quiet honestly we're tired.  ;)
 
I'm behind on everything.  My home office has been piling since Nov 1.
Our own plans to build a home have not been touched.
 
We are content. (and tired)
We are blessed.  (and tired)
We are excited.  (and tired)
 

We thrilled to be able to open the home to you this Friday and Saturday, Jan 18th and 19th from 10am-5pm Indiana time. 

 
Come and walk though the house and see what River Retreat House looks like.
The house can be booked for crafting weekends for up to 10 women.  The house is all on one floor and boasts of 10 twin beds and 10 six foot crafting tables.  We do not provide meal service, but the house has a fully equipped kitchen. 
 
Weekend retreats are only $100.00 and groups of  7 more get a 30% discount.  If you know of a Creative Memories Consultant, Stampin Up Rep or other crafting business person would you please do us the honor of passing this information along to them?  We will gladly host other types of business in the house.  If you have questions email Julie at creek@dish.net. 
 
To book a weekend simply email julie at creek@dish.net and ask about the date you want to visit the house.  Once your date is confirmed you can place your order through our online shopping cart here.

During the open house you can Shop our onsite store for 30% off nearly everything! 

I've been cleaning, and sorting and I've got quite a pile of clearance for you to look through.  I'm selling two 6" cricut machines and a Big Shot machine as well.
