The truth about deadlines

So excited to announce that a new technique book has been released and I'm totally happy to be part of it.

Here's a look at the cover! Best techniques from your favorite scrapbook bloggers. Memory Makers did an awesome job laying out the content!

 
Close ups of my projects... just some previews.

 

 

The dirty little truth... While I love having my work published in magazines and idea books I am not a huge fan of the process. Thats why this was perfect for me... one night just as I was wrapping up my emails for the night I got an email from May inviting me to be part of the book. It was perfect.

My deadline for these projects was way back in January. I took advantage of every last moment to make sure my projects were perfect. And here is the real truth... Nothing gets me procrastinating more than a deadline. I need a snack, I need to run to target, I better check my email, probably should dust my living room, brush the dog, annoy my girls, bug my husband, polish my nails... you get the point. But though the process of this book project I learned that if I have a deadline I better set my own deadline, like a couple of weeks before the real one.

Yep, I got my projects in on time. By the skin of my teeth. I learned that I do not like pushing the limits of a deadline. I do not like it at all, so I don't do it anymore.

Just one of the places you can Order a copy

Scrapbooking has played a big role in my life back in my high school days and up until now I am still addicted with this activity.
