ADD

I don't know about you, but some days, well most days, I feel like I have ADD. I can't focus on one thing at a time. Now you might say, multi-tasking is a good thing. I don't agree necessarily. The fault for trying to multitask is that I feel like I never get anything done!

Example. Do you ever get on the internet to do something in particular, say, create a photobook of your child for a specific timeframe and end up with 10 tabs on your browser open consisting of the possibility: pinterest, Facebook, online stores, etc, followed by iPhoto open with photos that have nothing to do with the project you've set out to do?

I'm a pro at thinking, if I just purchase XYZ for a DIY project, it'll complete itself. Or if I just think myself 10lbs lighter, I'll wake up tomorrow, and I'll be there. I don't lack the gift of positive thinking, for sure!

I've learned that sometimes starting a project is a lot harder than actually finishing it. Taking that one additional step once I begin the project will put me that much more closer to finishing it.

For some reason, I don't remember the whole point of this post, but that just goes to show you, my mind has already skipped ahead to something new!

Any now, back to my photobook...

Happy Wednesday!

Pinterest Inspired: Fall Wreath

Fall is in the air. I love the feeling outside when the air gets a little cooler and a little more crisp. Since I live in the Houston area, we don't get to experience the fullness of seasons as I would like. But I can still enjoy my Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte and dream of the 60 degree weather.

My sister-in-law, Jessica, and I get to see each other at least once a week. We periodically do craft days. I love them! Our last craft day consisted of making wreaths.

This is her blog write-up about her wreath.

My inspiration came from "Living with Lindsay"


Jess's inspiration came from "That's so Cuegly" blog.


How different are we? I love it!

My finished product:

While I'm not 100% satisfied with mine, I think it needs so more fillers, I am enjoying it so far! 


Jess's finished product turned out awesome:


Stay tuned for our next craft day!
