my misadventures in scrapping and sharing photos...

[soccerchick]

So, I have never set up an account online to share my photos so we get back from the World and I figure I'll share my photopass pics, right? Wrong. Somehow my first link is to a stranger's photos. Looked like it worked when I did it. Then I read a reply about me holding Tink. That never happened so I go back and look. hey - That's not me! Go back to photopass, copy, paste again. Looks like it works again. Nope, not working, only gets to the homepage. Oh well. Someday I will get my stuff hosted in cyberspace to share. I really like looking at pictures and someday will be able to share (probably when Dkids grow up and aren't cute anymore LOL).

So after the photopass fiasco, I decide I'm going to sit down and get my trip photos scrapped. I've only scrapped here and there since moving about 1 year ago and losing my craft room. I was using the spare bedroom until my new craftroom is finished in the basement (currently under construction). At least I was using the spare bedroom until we got all Home and Garden Show on it. We painted it and made it all nice and pretty with curtains, pictures, shelves, etc over Columbus Day weekend (my MIL uses it when she visits/babysits the kiddos) so we first transferred my scrap stuff into the upstairs hallway and landing while painting. Then we moved it into our bedroom instead of back into "the grandma's room" as my DD calls it.

So today DD is in school and DS cooperates by taking a nap. House is clean. Life is good. I get my pics sorted, get my pages out, start getting supplies ready and I can't find my *%$@% cutting mat! So, instead of spending 1 1/2 hours scrapping, I'm looking through the spare bedroom and my bedroom to see where on earth that dog-gone mat is. Never found it.I'm sure it got put into something totally unrelated when we were taking stuff out of the room. When I find it, I sure hope it was DH who stashed it wherever it is hiding so I can use that as an excuse to shop for more scrapping stuff (like an ORGANIZER!)

Anyway, I'm at the point where I have to laugh or I'd be really, really p-----!

Hope you never have a scrapping day like this!

sounds stressful to me. A Big Hug coming your way, and a wish for a calmer and happier day tomorrow. I hope you find your mat, and if it were me I know I would find it somewhere that I had stashed it for safe keeping. Story of my life.

I'm sorry you're having a bad scrap day. Really I am. But the photopass thing was a riot!

I had a bad scrap day last week. Things were flying along and I was doing great until I realized I needed another piece of red 12x12 cardstock and didn't have any. So I couldn't finish what I was doing that night. They next day I had to go to 4 different scrap stores to find the exact red! That one piece of paper cost me so much in gas!
