Staycation Productivity

This past week, I had a staycation in Calgary. It was wonderful. I did nothing. Since I was staying at my parents house, I didn't really have to clean, but only cook for myself since they were on their holidays. Anyways, one part of my staycation was scrapbook my Ireland trip. I spent like 4 hours packing up my craft stuff before driving down to Calgary and it was not wasted. I made THREE pages. Usually with work, I can only maybe do one page a week, and most of it is done over the weekend. I am so proud. They look pretty damn good too!

Bray

Yay, another Ireland scrapbook page done. Actually this one should have been done a lot quicker, but I slacked a lot. Everyday either when I get up in the morning or at work, i always have the motivation of "I can't wait to get home to scrapbook." However, when dinner's done, dishes washed, and the tv on, the couch just seemed to be calling. Once I plant my ass on my sweet couch, I root. Next thing I know, it's bedtime.
Anyways, this is my page on Bray. I loved Bray. Although we only spent an hour or so there, it was a very scenic seaside town. Also a bonus that I love the ocean!
