distracted

It's not uncommon for me to be distracted. Occasionally, it's because I don't want to do what really needs to be done but more often, it comes from me trying to do so many things at once and then I tend to lose focus. By that I mean that I am focused, but the problem is that I am focused on several projects at once. Sometimes it's a good thing and other times, it's good for no one but me, meaning that what I should have done gets put aside for something that I "think" needs to be done instead.

Confused?

ALTERED NOTEBOOK

For example, I should have been doing some tax paperwork, but instead I altered a notebook with a Project Life journaling card and some goodies from My Mind's Eye. Not too much frou frou as I'll be using this notebook quite a bit in the next few months, but cute enough to make me smile each time I pick it up.

See how I used washi tape on the pages? That's my favorite part of the whole project, turn the page and find another cute pattern. I even used it to add a little tab, can you see it?

I'm using this notebook to make notes and list concerns about the plan from our landscaper, who just also happened to be one of Zach's Pee Wee football coach years ago.

CHANGING TABLE CHANGE-EROO

Doing laundry one rainy, weekend afternoon, I decided that our Furnace Room was out of control. Okay so I still did the laundry and ironing, but I also overhauled the Furnace Room {which is connected to the laundry room} in the process. A lot of purging, rearranging and ORGANIZATION!

That's the very old changing table, which has a storied life I need to document sometime, and on top of it sits the cabinet Gordon built that hung above our front load washer. Now that it has bitten the dust, we are back to an old-fashioned top loader and the cabinet had to come down. 

There you go, even though I got distracted, I accomplished two fun projects, plus I did get my tax work completed as well. Win, win!
