Tackle It Tuesday #109 June 24, 2008
This week I have a two tackles.

1. I am involved in a number of on line scrapbook classes. I have fallen behind in a couple of them and I want to get caught up on them.
2. I am working on getting more items listed on eBay. I have a storage unit that I really don't want to continue paying for so I need to get the stuff listed and out of there.

Sunday Scrappin'

My ta-da list this week is short. Not because I didn't accomplish anything but because I haven't photographed it yet. But here are a few things I have done this week:

1. My first layout of the second digital scrapbook class Now We're Rockin' at Jessicasprague.com.
2. My one layout that I have photographed from my Baker's Dozen class at bigpicturescrapbooking.com.
3. I went to CKU-Ft Lauderdale on Saturday. It was fun to look around and see what kind of supplies there are out there. I can remember when I first started scrapbooking the conventions were huge! This one was really small compared to ones I have been to in the past but it's been at least five years since I had been to one. And it costs $9.00 to get in. YIKES!

For my to-do list this week:

1. Of course, get the stuff I finished last week photographed and put on my blog.
2. Continue on my classes and try to get caught up. I still have two days left on the 28 Days class to finish, my Baker's Dozen class to get caught up on, my Gothat I don't want to get behind in. Fun stuff!t Sketch 101 class that I haven't even started and the Now We're Rockin' class that I don't want to fall behind on.

I honestly forgot about the animal print challenge this week and with three cats and two dogs I have plenty of animal pictures to scrap. Better luck next week.
