I am a huge procrastinator. Somehow I just am not usually able to get ready for anything until the last minute. Shopping for items the day before (if I'm lucky) I need them. Preparing classes the night before. Gathering up my daily stuff - lunch, planner, etc. - each morning. And then hustling out of the door.
This weekend, I am attending Scrap Bowl in Virginia. I am taking a class with Ali Edwards. I am so excited about both. I know that I'll see friends that I haven't seen in ages. I'll pretend to work on some layouts and cards. I'll shop in the Virginia scrap book stores. I'll share a hotel room with my favorite scrapping buddies. It will be such a great girls weekend.
But there is one problem. Homework.
I really want to come to Ali's class completely prepared. I'd like to have everything I need, and hopefully I will finish the project before I leave. But somehow, I cannot focus on my assignment for very long. The journaling part I'm not so worried about. I've started my lists. I can easily add to them between meetings, in the car, before I drift off to sleep. It's the 40 pictures that are killing me. I have to find them, upload them, print them, and pick them up - all before 8:30 Friday evening. This will definitely challenge me.
And it isn't 40 random pictures. Or my favorite 40 pictures. It's 40 pictures that are related to my "journaling". Four for each topic. What's worse, it I am hell-bent on snapping as many photos as I can. (As opposed to using magazine pictures.)
Well, in the end, I'm sure I will feel that it was completely worth it.
I hope.
