I am. I've worked on this project each year since 2013 and have finished the five albums I began.<br />
<br />
If you have no idea what I'm referencing in this post, then go visit <a href="https://aliedwards.com/projects/december-daily" target="_blank">Ali Edwards</a> and read all about this fabulous brainchild of hers that focuses on documenting one story each day during December.<br />
<br />
Last year, I approached my album differently and focused on telling 31 different stories of Christmases while I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. If you want to check out the flip-through of my 2017 project, check out my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP5Y6rGs-e4&t=5s" target="_blank">Decembers to Remember 2017</a> video here. (My other DD projects are posted on my YouTube channel as well) <br />
<br />
I have traditionally worked in a 6 X 8 album each year, but I'm switching up both my format and my focus for 2018. This year, I'm going to use a traveler's notebook size album - 4 X 8 - using an etched, wooden cover that I bought from <a href="http://colorcastdesigns.com/product/december-to-remember-album-covers" target="_blank">Color Cast Designs</a>. I'm super excited about trying this new size. My focus for this DD will be different from what most people do; I'm going to share an element of self-care that I engage in for each day of the month. Because I live alone, work a lot, and am single, I think this will be a different way to approach DD that will hopefully be personally rewarding for me.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of the other products I plan to use in this year's album (in addition to all the leftovers I have from prior years):<br />

I haven't done much in my DD album yet, partly because I hardly ever make foundation pages but also because I've been super focused on my online journaling class I'm offering + finishing up a bit of redecorating + the general busyness that occurs as part of the holiday season. This past weekend, though, I did go ahead and make my intentions page. It's the first time I've ever journaled about the reason for my album or the focus/intentions of it, and I regret that I never took the time to do this before now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made this page using older product in my stash since all of my new DD goodies haven't yet arrived. Take a look and read the journaling; maybe you'll be a little inspired to do an intentions page for your DD project too. (Btw, I don't love the ribbon I used which I just had lying around the house, so I may change those out once I buy more.)</div>

That's it for now. I just thought it might be fun to share my plan with you as well as some of the supplies I'm planning to incorporate. Until we chat again, happy DD foundation making!<br />

If you're ever in the Grapevine, Texas area, you should definitely stop in and visit the Little Blue House.<br />
<br />
The samples that were hanging throughout the store were just darling and so was the decor.<br />

The whole shop was well-stocked with new product and was a visual treat.<br />

Even the classroom area was decorated well and was stocked with everything you could possibly need.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Aren't those painted jars holding craft supplies a lovely touch? I just wanted to hang out in the classroom space and stroke all the details.<br />

I want to recreate this project too. Wouldn't this be gorgeous to make for Memorial Day from leftover ribbon and lace? (Or brand new ribbon and lace that just needs to start living at your house...)<br />

I really liked that the samples showed how to incorporate products into traditional layouts, mini-books, home decor projects, and cards as well. There was something here to appeal to just about everyone.<br />

I don't even really do this kind of crafty project, but this display was cute enough that I was ready to buy up a bunch of it. Thank goodness I had to fly home and couldn't indulge myself.<br />

I thought it might be good to recount for you some of our adventures from our recent ScrapGals Retreat in Grapevine, Texas. Note that this is a photo-heavy post and might take a while to load depending on your connection.</div>

Tracie and I left Nashville via a Southwest flight that was quite bumpy due to some turbulence from storms. Our landing in Grapevine was definitely not what I'd call "smooth."</div>

On Friday morning, we headed out for several retreat related errands, then we met up with fellow ScrapGals to explore Grapevine a bit in the afternoon. Here I am ready for our sightseeing and acting goofy in the hotel room mirror. (Side note: I totally need a big mirror like this at home to be able to see my entire outfit.)<br />

Maybe some day I'll even return to this post and use it as fodder for a layout or something. Do you ever do that with your own social media or blog posts? Anyway, I digress. Read on for all the currently bits...<br />

<i><b><br /></b></i>
At housework and fitness right now. I'm just so tired when I get home in the evenings that I don't want to do anything except stare into space at the television or read. I'm sure I'm not getting enough sleep, but making myself go on to bed at a decent hour on a school night is an ongoing problem. The real issue is that I'm resentful of the things that take away from creative time or fun time. (I battle that inner 12 year old self constantly as you can see.) I'll be forcing myself to do a bit of housework when I get home from work today, but I really need a whole day to address some neglected items. And I made it to the gym once this week already, so my goal is at least one more session this week. Surely, I can talk myself into at least twice a week and hopefully more. Surely...<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Looking</u></i></b><br />
<br />
For a bathing suit I don't hate for this summer; I'm even willing to pay full price<br />
For a black ruffled apron to have monogrammed<br />
For the perfect cross-body purse for travel<br />
*Y'all be sure and let me know if you have any sources for these items I'm trying to find!<br />
<br />
<br />
Happy Valentine's Day, my friends!<br />

The contents of each kit are unique, but I curated each kit so that you can create a fun, eclectic gift album to celebrate a special woman in your life. While some of the embellishments are Valentine-themed, you could certainly use most of the supplies for any kind of feminine project. (I say feminine because there are lots of florals and pinks in each kit.)<br />
<br />
While I will not provide video instructions with the kit, I will include images of all the sample books I shared with those who attended the class with me.<br />

<br />
I'm so excited to report that I finished my Decembers to Remember album last week! Woohoo - cue the choirs of angels singing, etc.! I had to wait a bit before I had enough daylight to adequately photograph the finished pages and to film a flipthrough video for you, but I'm ready to share them now. I hope some of my stories inspire you to tell some of yours.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to watch the flipthrough, you can see that by clicking on the photo below.<br />

<br />
And here are the still shots of the various stories. If you like to read the journaling and look at details on layouts, then you might want to scroll through these. I shared many of the stories on my Instagram feed, but I think the colors and quality are better in this format. :)<br />

Rather than make another traditional December Daily project this year, I decided to try something a little bit different. I thought it might be fun to tell a series of stories about Christmases from when I was growing up. I'd never scrapbooked any of these stories before, so having them in a single location seemed like an interesting variation of the DD project that so many people make. I'm calling my project "Decembers to Remember" and plan to tell 31 stories about the holidays leading up to my senior year of high school. Hopefully, these stories will be a great way for me to share my childhood and my family's holiday traditions with my daughter and maybe even her children someday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the things that was always challenging to me about December Daily was working on the project every single day and feeling guilty if I got behind on it. My variation of the project completely removes that sense of time guilt. I've only told seven stories, and it's already December 14. I guess that I'm a week behind schedule technically, but I don't really see it that way at all. I like being able to work on it a couple times a week and seeing real progress without feeling worried that I won't "catch up." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My process was pretty simple. First, I made a list of stories that I might want to tell from the holidays during my childhood. Next, I scanned, edited, and printed the old family photos I was able to locate that seemed to match the season, event, or age of each story I'd listed. Even though the picture quality isn't fabulous, I'm grateful to have located as many of them as I did. I edited them as best I could, but some are still a bit dark and blurry, and others just have wonky colors that couldn't totally be corrected. Of course, I had some missing photo spots; I looked for online photos to fill in the gaps of pictures I couldn't locate. The next step was to print those photos in different sizes. I did this randomly because that's how I roll. I don't really like dealing with photos and printing, but this process wasn't too stressful since I worked on it a few different days rather than all at once.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thought I had an album already to use for this project, but I was wrong. After picking up a plain kraft 6 X 8 album at Hobby Lobby and some page protectors, I started laying out the order of the pages. I didn't want to have the same kind of page protector right after each other in the album. Then, I started matching the photos I had printed with the page protector formats in the album. It was all pretty random and fluid, but I was enjoying the process. At that point, I separated all of my Christmas supplies into a basket I could keep on my desk and began matching up printed paper with the photos. The paper and photos became place holders in the album and could be moved around if needed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On Monday of this week, I actually made the pages for the first two stories in my album in just under two hours. I'm printing out the journaling, and this adds quite a bit of time to the overall time it takes me to make a layout. While I don't prefer this approach, I think it allows me to tell much longer stories than if I were using my handwriting. I also worked on my album on Wednesday and completed a couple more pages in another couple of hours. Tonight, I told three stories in less than two hours; that means my speed is improving. Take a look at the pages I made, and perhaps you'll be inspired to tell some of your own childhood stories.</div>

Sure, there are some things that I want, but I find these days that most things on my list aren't really those that can be purchased in a store. Besides peace on earth and an end to want and all that good stuff, there are some specific things I wish for the people in my life and myself. Take a look at my list and consider making one of your own.<br />

My Grown-Up Christmas Wish List (the first two are pretty personal, but the others more broadly apply to my friends and family and my wishes for them)<br />
<br />
1. I wish that Kelsey will be able to snag a job that uses her skills/degrees, sparks her passion, and compensates her fairly.<br />
<br />
2. I wish that Jake will finish his degree this spring as planned and find a position with a company that treats him well.<br />
<br />
3. I wish that my friends who are battling illnesses are healed and that their pain is diminished.<br />
<br />
4. I wish that my friends who are suffering loss and grief find peace and comfort in the memories of their loved ones.<br />
<br />
5. I wish that my friends who are lonely reach out to someone upon whom they can depend for emotional support and company.<br />
<br />
6. I wish that my friends who are searching for meaning and purpose in their lives find something that fulfills them.<br />
<br />
7. I wish that the people in my life treat each other fairly and with kindness, even when they disagree.<br />
<br />
8. I wish that a spirit of giving and helpfulness permeated every season in our hearts and not just Christmas.<br />
<br />
9. I wish that those of us who are <i>too</i> <i>busy</i> take some time to rest and recharge and breathe.<br />
<br />
10. I wish that those of us who tend to be negative would opt for the positive slant instead, to allow ourselves the gift of hope, to jump to the kind conclusion, and to give others the benefit of the doubt.<br />
<br />
11. I wish that we all spend our time as carefully as we spend our money. And if we need to do better, then I hope that we will.<br />
<br />
12. I wish that we all work on being more present in the moment and appreciating our lives at this moment.<br />

I'm really enjoying memory keeping in my Big Happy Planner; I think it's going to have a big impact on the kinds of stories that I choose to tell in more traditional layouts. Tracie and I have a podcast planned to discuss memory keeping in a planner in January, so I hope you'll tune in to the podcast if you're interested in this style of documentation.<br />

While most of my experience has been with cross stitch, I've begun to branch out into different kinds of hand embroidery as well. To that end, I had planned to work on several different kinds of stitching projects for the holidays. I still have some stitched pendants in the works as gifts and maybe as items to sell, and I'm also working on some ornaments right now as well. This embellished stitch vintage Santa is a little bit too big to be an ornament, but I think he would be adorable as decoration on my mantel or on a shelf/table.<br />
<br />
Here's the finished piece. I haven't decided if I'll attach a thin ribbon to the screw at the top of the piece to hang it or if I'll add a loop to the back of the piece. I think either option would work just fine.<br />
<br />

I wanted to photograph a couple of detail shots for you too. I used French knots on the holly berries and on Santa's eyes.<br />

The rest of the stitched are mostly just backstitch or a couching stitch. There's a small wrinkle on the bottom left of the hoop where I didn't pull it tightly enough through the hoop or where the fabric puckered a bit as I worked the stitches around the ball of fur on the hat. I think that's something I'll get better at managing as I continue to work with this weight of fabric and these stitches.<br />

That metallic thread was a bear to work with, but I think the effect of it is really cool. I've read a few tips/tutorials about working with it, so I'm hopeful that the next project won't be fraught with such difficulty. That metallic thread is definitely challenging.<br />

And here's a shot of the piece propped up against a frame on my mantel. I think this one is in a 6" or 7" hoop, to give you an idea of the finished size.<br />

If you're interested in making your own version of a hoop like this, here's where I bought my supplies --<br />
Michael's craft store: silver tassel ribbon roll, wood embroidery hoop, metallic silver dmc floss, hot glue sticks<br />
Hobby Lobby craft store: printed Santa fabric, regular DMC floss (black, red, green), white felt for the backing<br />
Supplies on hand: glue gun, scissors<br />
Total materials investment - approximately $5 (This is an estimate because I have extras of all the supplies left over and could make other projects out of the initial items I purchased.)<br />
Total time investment - approximately three hours<br />
<br />
If you decide to make one of your own, I hope you'll share it with me, so I can see your work. I'm considering doing something similar with ornament sizes of hoops that are about 3" or 4" to hang on a Christmas tree. Would anyone be interested in purchasing that kind of thing? I'm not sure if I'll have time to make these to sell, but I'm open to the idea. I'd love to hear what you think about that.<br />
<br />
Don't mind me, I'll just be over in the corner stitching. I have to say, this whole stitching thing makes me happy, and this little vintage Santa makes me giddy.Tiffany Lowderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14743049863317194955noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723492686087062585.post-76610535145710399912017-11-13T13:55:00.002-06:002017-11-13T13:55:42.500-06:00Kroger's ClickList - a Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another review - that's like two in just a few days. I can't help myself; when something works well, I want to tell people about it. Read on!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have we talked about how much I hate grocery shopping? I think I've mentioned in the podcast a few times that I even get road rage INSIDE the grocery store with my cart. I mean, I dread going to the grocery for lots of reasons, but the human interaction factor is really the biggest problem. I also get distracted easily and spend too much money and hate the way it smells and don't want to make small talk and resent the time it takes and... Well, you get the picture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Given all of my anti-grocery shopping sentiment, it's probably no surprise to you that I FINALLY tried Kroger's new ClickList service. (Okay, maybe it's not new to anyone but me; it's definitely a new thing in my book.) Anywho, I tried it a week ago this past Saturday, and I'm definitely SOLD on this option. I also just placed my order for this week yesterday and plan to pick it up on my way home from the gym today. I'm loving this grocery service option!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The process is actually pretty simple. To create your shopping list and place your order, follow these steps. Seriously, all of these steps took me like 15 or 20 minutes on my phone. I made my list for this week while wearing my pjs and enjoying an adult beverage. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 1: Login to your Kroger app on your phone (I guess it prob works on a desktop too)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 2: Choose the ClickList option and your store (not all stores in my area offer this yet)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 3: Create your grocery list using the info already stored in your Kroger plus account for what you've recently bought</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 4: Check the sale items for that week and add to your shopping list as desired</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 5: Search for any non-recently purchased items that you need and add to your shopping list as desired</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 6: Review your number of items and leave any special instructions (ie: only green bananas please)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 7: Enter your payment information (which can then be stored for future reference if you wish)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 8: Choose a day and time for pickup (these are listed in one hour increments and are available roughly 4-5 hours after you place your order)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When it's your day/time to pick up your order, follow these steps:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 1: Drive to your Kroger location and park in the designated parking area (evidenced in the photo below)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 2: Call the number at your parking spot and tell them your name and the number of your spot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 3: Wait for the worker to bring out your items</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 4: The worker will tell you if any items weren't available or if there were any issues/questions with your order</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 5: Wait for the worker to load your groceries in your trunk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 6: Drive home secure in the knowledge that you only have to touch your groceries the one time you bring them into your home and put them away. Cue an angelic choir singing right about now!</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are some things to know about the ordering and pickup process:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-You can insist on a certain brand/size if you want to do so, but you're more likely to get what you want if you are willing to accept brand/size substitutions. There's a box for each item that indicates whether you'll accept a substitution or not. For me, no subs on cokes or ketchup, but pretty much everything else is fair game.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Using the items you bought recently as a starting point works really well for me because I have a tendency to make the same kinds of things every couple of weeks. Why reinvent the wheel each week if you don't have to?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-For fresh items like produce or meat, you can be very specific in the instructions. I could request a 4 pound pot roast, for example. Or three soft pears if I wanted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Digital coupons and deals are automatically credited to your order total using the Kroger app. I'm not sure how it would work if you use print coupons. Since I don't, that's not really important to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-There's supposed to be a $4.95 service fee to use ClickList, but my first order was free. I figured that's to lure you into the fabulousness. I fully expected to pay for this second order, but it was marked out and listed as free as well. Let me tell you, less tress and half the time to take care of grocery shopping is definitely worth the service fee when they make me start paying it. I wonder if you'll ever be able to pay with your Kroger fuel points...hmm...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Because of the wait time between ordering and picking up and because of the potential fee involved, this is not a good service to pick up just a few items. For me, this is only worth it for my weekly shopping. If I need just a tiny something, I'll run in to a local Walgreen's or to Meijer's for it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-My first time using ClickList, I had to wait about seven minutes for my order to be brought to my car because there were two other cars ahead of me. I didn't mind it because I just waited in my comfy, warm car and played on Instagram.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-There is a little pressure to keep my trunk clean because other people are putting stuff in it, but I see that as a good thing. It's one more reason for me to keep my car neat. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Some cities/stores offer delivery, but my local stores do not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Not all stores in smaller cities offer this service; my "corner" Kroger (like two minutes from my house) doesn't have it, but one of the ones "across town" does offer it. (I say that with the full knowledge that "across town" is literally like an eight minute drive at most, even at peak times, in my city.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Door to door, this process took me 25 minutes on a Saturday in the late afternoon - about 6 minutes of driving each way + 7 minutes of wait time + 6 minutes to load my car and check my order with the service guy. I call that a pretty good deal considering it would have been at least an hour or maybe an hour and a half if I had gone in to do the shopping. I'll be interested to see what my timing looks like today on a Monday as I head home from work and the gym at prime "rush hour" traffic for my town.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few other tidbits:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-One of my friends told me that WalMart offers a similar service for free. I'm not familiar with it and wouldn't pursue that because I choose not to support WalMart's business practices, but you should check it out if you shop there regularly and want to try a similar service.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I know that Amazon pantry works in a similar way and can be great to have grocery items delivered if you're a Prime member like I am. What has stopped me from ordering this way there is getting cold items? How can they be left safely on your doorstep, or are they even offered in that service? If I still had a family at home, I might really be interested in the Amazon service for items I'd buy in bulk like toilet paper or laundry detergent. I'm still open to trying Amazon's service for sure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is an amazing time to be alive! What I would have given when my daughter was small to have a service like this for my grocery shopping. Can you imagine how much stress we could have all avoided? And what about needing groceries when you're sick and don't feel like going inside? Or needing groceries when it's 112 degrees or 12 degrees or raining or snowing or whatever? Plus, I really like the idea that this service is likely creating the need for a few more jobs in our town for people who might not be trained in other areas. I think this ClickList service is a win-win for lots of reasons. If you decide to give this service or one like it a try, I'd love to hear about your experiences. Peace out, my friends; I've got some groceries to pick up on my way home tonight!</div>

For my birthday a few weeks ago, the fella surprised me with an HP Sprocket mini-printer. I had casually added a few of those tiny printers to my Amazon wishlist with the plan of watching which one might be majorly on sale for Black Friday shopping. I didn't expect anyone to actually get one for me for my birthday. Needless to say, I was thrilled. Since I've had a bit of time to play with it now, I thought I'd share with you my thoughts about the printer in case you have one in mind for yourself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Side note: HP doesn't know I'm alive and has not sponsored this review in any way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>The good:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-The size is perfect; it's just a tiny bit wider and heavier than my iPhone 7+</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I like that the printer and the cable are black; I think other colors are available, but I like the sleek look of the black</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-It seems sturdy enough to carry around in your purse without worrying about breaking it. I bought a little canvas bag for mine and its supplies - see photo above. (I bought that canvas bag on clearance at Michael's for like $4 last week, just FYI.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I LOVE that the prints are stickers and find the backing very easy to peel off while I'm working on a layout.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-The prints fits the Big Happy Planner large planners pretty perfectly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Printing from your iPhone is pretty simple once you download the free app.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-The print sizes (2" X 3") are great for smaller forms of memory-keeping and just incredibly cute. (<i>Almost</i> everything is better in miniature...)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-The usb charging device is small and easy to use with your laptop or iPhone charger; it also doesn't take very long to charge up the device.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Printing is pretty quick, maybe 30 seconds per photo although I didn't officially time it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-It is possible to edit your photos in the Sprocket app. I haven't really used that option, but I think it's nice to have in case you want to tweak your pics a bit more than in the separate photo apps you already have. You can even do things like add fun borders to your photos in their editing software.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I love being able to sit down with my phone at my desk and make a two page memory planner spread in much less than an hour including printing my pics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-There are some cool options like mosaic tile printing and photobooth printing available in the app, but I haven't tried them yet personally.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-It's easy to update the app and the device via wifi.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I love that there's no ink to replace! This printer works kind of like the old Polaroids did in that the photo is "printed" via a chemical reaction rather than with ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>The bad:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-The price is still a bit steep at $129.95 right now on Amazon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I haven't found any stores locally that carry the paper, so ordering it online is my only option.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-The paper packs are reasonable but not a bargain at $24.99 for a package of 50 or about 50 cents each.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-The print quality is really good but still not as good as a professional printer or my Canon MG7720.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-The prints have a tendency to look just a bit washed out, but I prefer that to the very dark and oversaturation that seemed to be common in my Instax camera prints.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Once you print 3 or 4 photos, I get the message that my Sprocket needs to cool down before it continues printing. This is kind of a hassle when you want to print a week's worth of pics at once. Now that I know it, I can work around it; I guess it overheats easily because it's so small.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I notice a little bit of vertical lines show up in some of the light areas of the photos, but you'd have to be looking at them pretty closely to see them. For the projects I'm using these photos in, that doesn't really bother me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I'm not sure about the archival nature of the prints and whether they will stand the test of time. I prob wouldn't print my most important pics with this device for that reason.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>The ugly:</b></div>
-One pack of my prints won't work in my Sprocket for some reason. After reading about troubleshooting issues, I can only infer that they must have somehow gotten too hot or too cold or too damp or something. Basically, the machine can't "read" that the paper is inserted because the edges have curled a bit. I plan to call HP to see if they will replace that pack for me.<br />
-My Sprocket "loses" the connection to my phone kind of frequently. Then, I have to kind of turn flips or something until it magically begins to work again. Chances are this is user error of some sort, but I've been a bit frustrated on occasion.<br />
-The top of my Sprocket doesn't really pop up for paper insertion like the picture shows it should. I kind of have to slide it all the way off and then pop it back into place. That's probably a user error issue too, but it worries me that I'll jack it up somehow and it won't fit properly the next time.<br />
<br />
There you have it. That's my review of the HP Sprocket printer. I'm super glad I have it, but you have to be prepared for a few glitches and/or drawbacks with a small device like this. I'd recommend it for people who want to be able to print easily on the go, people who scrapbook in traveler's notebooks or planners, and people who love electronic gadgets. I also think it would make a great gift for teens because they could print and stick their photos immediately by using their phones to pair with the printer. I'm really glad I have the printer because I think it will make my memory planning go much more smoothly than if I had to print on my home printer and then cut down the photos. Plus, I do love a fun gadget. :)<br />

You might recall that I offered some holiday necklaces for sale last year on my blog. I like to dabble in jewelry making, and my friends have been really complimentary of what I've made the last couple of years. Well, I'm offering handmade jewelry for sale again this year for anyone who might be interested. Right now, I have three different kinds of chains/lengths to offer in a couple of different pendant sizes. All of the pendants feature a deer of some sort; I liked this because I think they fit with the season but are not overtly holiday in nature. That means that you would probably be able to wear them through the holidays and into January and even February if you wished. Please read and view below for more information</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This first necklace style that I'm sporting is on an approximately 16" metal chain and features the smaller size pendant that I'm offering. I think it's a great choice for tweens and teens or for anyone who is smaller framed. As you can see in my photo, it's not a great length for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here are a few pics of my daughter modeling the shorter necklaces. I think it's apparent in this photograph that these fit more nicely on someone who is petite or of a small frame. I also think it'd be a great size for the tweens or teens in your life.<br />

Here I am sporting a slightly longer necklace style featuring a faux leather cording. I think these necklaces measure about 18" in length and are much more comfortable to me than the shorter style. The pendant on this one is the same size as the smaller necklaces on chains.</div>

The last style is my personal favorite and features a long chain, approximately 24" in length, that I think hangs nicely with most styles of blouse. These pendants are a step up in size from the ones that are on the shorter necklaces; I think you can see the difference with the close-up photos.</div>

I have listed the necklace prices next to each one, and those prices include shipping costs within the USA. If you are international and would like one, then I'd need to add actual shipping charges to your purchase. (Message me for info, so we can work on that.)<br />
<br />
Please leave a comment here or message me at alowderlife@gmail.com if you are interested in purchasing a necklace. I'll update the listings here as different pieces are spoken for by readers. Please let me know if you have any questions. :)<br />
<br />
**I'm working on a few other holiday goodies that include necklaces and ornaments that feature my hand-stitching, but I wanted to go ahead and put these out as available for anyone who is interested. If you're like me, you like to wear your seasonal stuff as much as possible.<br />

With a coupon and my teacher discount, I think I paid about $17 for it total. I totally blame it on the cute video that Tracie Claiborne made on her YouTube channel and on the fabulous inspiration that Stephanie Howell has been sharing on Instagram. I'm not really a planner girl per se, but I like the idea of using a planner as a kind of Project Life style memory album.I did something similar in 2015 with a Heidi Swapp creative planner but fizzled out after a while. I also did sort of the same kind of memory-keeping in another Heidi Swapp planner album for my 2015 solo trip to Paris, and my monthly TNs from Cocoa Daisy throughout 2016 could arguably fit the same kind of category. When I saw all of the darling planners out there and the inspiration that began to filter into my IG feed, I just couldn't hold back any longer. I resisted buying any of the little sticker books at first, but in the past six weeks, I managed to buy two older ones on clearance and one new one. I also received one of the new sticker packs for my birthday.<br />
<br />
Here's the album that I scored a few weeks ago:<br />

I mean, how fabulous is that giant floral cover? And the hand lettered title? And the quote on the front? It pretty much called to me from its place on the bottom shelf of an endcap at Michael's in my hometown.<br />
<br />
Of course, I couldn't wait until January 2018 to start playing with it! Waiting for three months to start this fun project didn't sound like anything I cared to do, so I thought long and hard about how I could justify beginning a memory planner (in an annual format) at any point other than the beginning of the year. Sure enough, I found a way to rationalize it. Since my birthday is the first week of October, I thought it might be perfect to make this planner memory album about the year I am 46. (Just typing the number hurts a little, but this lovely floral memory planner seems to assuage some of the pain...) And there I had my rationale for starting an annual project in October rather than January. That's Lowder Logic right there, my friends.<br />
<br />
As a happy coincidence, the fella surprised me with the fabulous HP Sprocket printer for my birthday the first week of October. I had put it on my Amazon wishlist because I thought it looked cool, but I had no idea it printed photos the right size for the memory planner I'd just bought. Plus, I didn't really think anybody would buy me that high-ticket item for my birthday. I'd put it on my Amazon list thinking that I might want to watch the price for after-Thanksgiving sales and treat myself to it then. How perfect that the fella bought it for me, right? Smart man that he is, he also bought a 50 pack of the photo paper so I could play with my new toy to my heart's content.<br />
<br />
I took my new planner and my new printer to the ScrapGals retreat in Nashville that first weekend in October thinking that I might have a chance to work in it. Well, I did print out a handful of pics to use in it while I was at the retreat, but I had zero chance to feel crafty in any way. I was too busy visiting with scrapbookers and teaching my class and helping make sure the event went smoothly. I mostly just thumbed through it a few times and imagined how I might fill up the pages.<br />
<br />
It wasn't until this week that I sat down to actually make the first spread in my Happy Memory Planner, and I have to say that I'm smitten. It was so much fun to cut up pieces of paper I loved and adhere them into the planner. Printing tiny pics that turn into stickers is also pretty awesome. And getting to embellish my weekly spread with a few stickers from those books was really fun too. I enjoyed getting to write out a few stories from my week without a bunch of pressure to tell super meaningful stories; the whole tidbit aspect of this project really appeals to me. Here's my first spread:<br />

I'm already a few weeks behind since October is now over, but the ease of printing pics from my phone and working on this book a week at a time means that I'm not even feeling stressed about that. I hope to get on a schedule where I'm working just a couple of weeks behind and where I update my planner every weekend. Doesn't that sound like fun? Hopefully, you'll check back on my progress and maybe even feel inspired to try a similar project yourself.

I once dated a guy briefly who kept getting in contact with me randomly - for years - because he wanted to recreate my chili recipe. (Not even kidding!) This is my dad's recipe that I've tweaked a bit to totally be my own, and you're welcome to make it if you're so inclined.<br />

<br />
2-3 pounds lean ground beef, browned and drained well<br />
1 large can Brook's mild chili beans (yes, I think the brand matters)<br />
1 small can Brook's hot chili beans<br />
1 can seasoned black beans, drained and rinsed well<br />
1 can light red kidney beans, drained and rinsed well<br />
1/2 bag frozen miraproix mix (onions, celery, and green pepper mix)<br />
1/2 bag frozen corn<br />
1 large can of tomato juice or spicy V8<br />
1 large can of whole tomatoes<br />
1 bottle of beer (usually something mild, whatever ipa I have lying around)<br />
chili powder and red pepper flakes to taste<br />
<br />
Brown ground beef and miraproix mix together in a large stock pot until beef is fully cooked. Drain grease thoroughly. Reduce heat to low. Add in chili beans and stir well. Drain and rinse black beans and kidney beans, then add to the pot. Add chili powder and red pepper flakes to taste; I add so much chili powder that the entire surface is darkened with it. Allow mixture to heat through before adding other ingredients. Add a can of whole tomatoes, a bottle of beer, and enough tomato juice to fill up the pot. Add in the corn. Turn up heat to medium; allow mixture to heat through again. Add more chili powder and red pepper flakes to taste. Turn down to low and let simmer at least 45 minutes for the flavors to meld and the alcohol to cook off. Before serving, use a large spoon to break up some of the whole tomatoes.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I don't think there's anything earth-shattering about my chili recipe, but I do think it's pretty tasty. :) It's good topped with shredded cheese, avocado, and sour cream, and it's also good served over tortilla chips the next day.<br />
<br />
And I like it best served with a crispy, grilled, pimiento cheese sandwich.

Listening to - Ed Sheeran's <i>Deluxe</i><br />
<br />
Avoiding - putting away clean laundry, thus the mountain of it grows. At least I'm predictable, right?<br />
<br />
Stitching - some small ornament and necklace pieces, partly for fun and partly because I might sell a few for the upcoming holidays<br />

Anticipating - some much-needed time off for the holidays. I know we just had fall break a few weeks ago, but things at my job are pretty stressful right now in light of the pension crisis in KY.<br />
<br />
Scrapbooking - honestly, not much right now, but I have lots of projects in mind for the last part of this year. Since the Nashville retreat, I just haven't had much mojo for scrapbooking; I've been stitching instead. I am still excited about working in my Big Happy Memory Planner for the coming year though.<br />
<br />
Cooking - crockpot soups and easy dinners to match my rather hectic schedule. Recent favorites include: zuppa toscana, chicken noodle, avocado toast, and frozen pizza. Hahaha!<br />
<br />
Photographing - selfies and outfits and random crafty projects<br />
<br />

<br />
Dreading - all of the extra work and extra spending that the holidays seem to spell out for me. I really need to do a better job of managing my expectations and my budget. :0<br />
<br />
Learning - how to incorporate Google forms in my classroom instruction to facilitate more efficient grading/feedback.<br />
<br />
Reminding - myself that I have to let go of what I cannot control. I really wish that came more easily to me, but I'm apparently still a work in progress in that regard.<br />
<br />
Planning - upcoming crafty projects for the holidays since I'd like to make some goodies for my loved ones.<br />
<br />
Creating - my third online scrapbook class; it's called Selfies 101.<br />
<br />
Attending - football games, local play productions, and small, local concerts whenever I can.<br />

<br />
Savoring - time alone when I can relax with no pressure to do or to go or to buy, time with loved ones just hanging out without an agenda of any kind, and the time of changing seasons where I long to spend more time indoors kind of hibernating.<br />
<br />
Planning - my calendar through the end of the year to fit in time for family and friends and work and fun and podcasting and crafting and all of the things.<br />
<br />
Sharing - more small photos on Instagram and more topics for discussion on Facebook in the ScrapGals group; I'm trying to have a more consistent, purposeful presence on social media.<br />

Evaluating - the way I spend my time at work and my free time too. What habits and practices are adding to my life and making the most of my time? Which habits and behaviors are time sucks that I need to do less? Those are the big questions for me.<br />
<br />
So that's like 20 things that are going on in my life right now - none of it is terribly exciting, but I'm still glad to record it here and maybe reference it for some future memory-keeping project. What's going on with you, huh?Tiffany Lowderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14743049863317194955noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723492686087062585.post-61513715356629983062017-10-24T15:06:00.001-05:002017-10-24T15:06:28.217-05:00Bell Buckle Craft FairOn Saturday, I hit the road with my friend, Lorie, and headed to the metropolis of Bell Buckle, Tennessee for the annual craft fair hosted there by the Webb School. I'd been once before, last year, and was definitely looking forward to going again. While the weather was a bit overcast and chilly when I left the house a little after 7 a.m., it was forecast to be upper 70s and sunny by late afternoon.<br />
<br />
This year, there seemed to be a larger crowd than I'd seen in 2016, but there seemed to be fewer handmade vendors. Yes, there were still lots of food vendors and lots of retail vendors, but I was really there to look for handmade goods or raw materials. That kind of thing still existed, but the handmade items didn't seem quite as prevalent as I remembered. Take a look at some of the photos I snapped of the marketplace.<br />

And, yes, I had Lorie take my photo in front of the large mural because that's just what scrapbookers do. Then, I took her photo in the same spot, because that's what you do. :)<br />

We had lunch on the square in the Bell Buckle Diner, and my chicken and dressing combo was delicious. It was down-home cooking without all the lard that often accompanies meals in the South. My meal here was tasty and fresh, and the sweet tea was perfection.<br />

To be honest, I didn't take as many pictures as I had hoped. Instead, I just focused on enjoying the moment and feasting my eyes on all the inspiration around me. Let's just say I have some great ideas for some goodies I'd like to make for the holidays. Stay tuned in case any of them end up for sale here on my blog!Tiffany Lowderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14743049863317194955noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723492686087062585.post-76952023688515336212017-10-20T00:00:00.000-05:002017-10-20T09:52:43.555-05:00The ScrapGals Nashville Retreat in ReviewA couple of weeks ago, I co-hosted the ScrapGals Retreat in Nashville, TN. After a fun morning of sightseeing downtown on Friday as an optional kickoff to the event, the actual retreat began that afternoon around 4:00 pm and lasted until 9:00 pm on Sunday.<br />
<br />
On Friday afternoon, we worked on a "connections" traveler's notebook which encouraged attendees to get to know each other here at the beginning of the event. Sara Preston's store opened at the beginning of the retreat and would stay open the entire weekend. On Saturday, I taught my selfies class in the morning, and Tracie taught her page-worthy class Saturday afternoon. We also posed for our group photo, spent some time working on class projects, and enjoyed our pajama crop that evening. On Sunday, Jen Schow taught her class on go-to designs and totally inspired everyone with her fabulous layout examples. We spent the rest of the afternoon cropping and then closed the event with a dance party featuring Tracie's husband's band. The whole weekend, we enjoyed fabulous food, lots of laughter, and some time to be crafty. I think it was an amazing time had by all, and here are a few photos from the weekend to prove it.<br />
<br />
Warning - lots and lots of photos ahead! :)<br />
