10 Signs You May Be Scrapping Too Much…
Read on my dear scrappers, I’m sure you’re guilty on one of these signs. Me, oh yeah! 
Not an exception and you know after reading these 10 signs, I was thinking if there’s a scrapping rehab like those for drug rehab, then maybe I was there sentenced for life, HAHAHAHA! Anyway, snagged this from JWD Team blog… read on…
1. You buy and dress yourself and your children in similar colored clothing so that you already have your basic color pallette when you go to scrap the photos later.
2. You can look at the color of a shirt or dress in real life and immediately match it up to a specific piece of digital paper in your stash that is the exact same color.
3. While snapping photos, you’re thinking to yourself, “Oh my god, these will look PERFECT with the Vinnie paper pack from Jen’s Laundry Line!!” (And you’re damn excited about it.)
4. You stay up until midnight the night before a designer’s new release is due out because there’s that little part of you that hopes that maybe the designer set up the store so that the new release is automatically there at midnight EST on that date.
5. You go out in search of very specific photo opportunities, and take pictures of things you normally wouldn’t, just so you can use a particular element, paper or journaling card that you just love that’s in your stash, but that you haven’t had the right photos for yet. (Chicken wire anyone?)
6. You start skipping social events and ditching important functions and obligations because you don’t want to miss out on a designer’s chat or challenge that night.
7. You study (closely) the shadows of random people and objects in real life, wherever you go, just so you can perfectly recreate those shadows in Photoshop when you’re back at your computer. (Am I the only one that does this? I really do need to get over this obsession with drop shadows. It’s getting a little weird.)
8. You start using scrapping terms in place of the correct words in real life situations without thinking about it…
“Hey hon, can you crop the kids’ chicken up for them while I get them their drinks?”
“Hey, can you do me a favor and clone those documents so I can drop them in the mail tomorrow?”
9. When talking about the people in your life, more of them have online user names (and you don’t know their real names) than have actual, real live birth names given to them by their parents.
“Oh hon, Skraprbabe said the funniest thing today!”
“You should see the cool new camera that momto4kids got! It’s to DIE for!”
10. You look in the mirror in the morning and notice a large zit on your face. For a few fuzzy moments, the line between real life and the scrapping world blurs, and in a still half-asleep stupor, you casually reach for your handy dandy Spot Healing Brush to zap that sucker away before you leave for work.

Color inspired
I saw this colorful photo from the espresso machines site and somehow give me an idea of a new layout.
I’ve been itching to scrap lately but because I was too busy preparing for Migs’ birthday, I can’t focus in doing at least one. I still have new kits and wanted to put them in good use before a new one comes in; otherwise, it will be all put to waste again, hehe… Anyway, the above photo reminds me of Migs’ pictures doing artwork at home and he just mixed up all the colors, 
For me it’s a memorable photos and good for scrapping… Let me see if I can whip a new one tonight. Hopefully I have all the creative mojo…
Domain transfer
Just in case you visit Mother’s Horizon, I’m currently updating the site. The transfer has been completed to my new host but I never thought it would happen during my daytime so I’m not ready with all my files. I was out almost the whole day and when I get back, my site was not found, ugh! So I’m working on it right now while I’m cooking, LOL! Talk about multi-tasking again…. hopefully everything goes smoothly…
ETA: The transfer has been completed and the site is working fine now. I just wonder why my header on this blog disappeared, hmp! I don’t even touch anything here, HAHAHA… scary!
