Happy (almost) Wednesday everybody!!! Welcome to edition #169 of WOYWW. It’s time for our weekly peek of desks around the world.
So…yesterday, I grabbed a plastic drawer that was brimming to the edges with layouts I haven’t finished yet. I dumped them on my desk and started going through them…there is A LOT of them! I noticed there were a few that were actually done and just need to find a scrapbook to hop into, but the majority needs journaling and a few finishing touches. I tend to stop at journaling for some reason. I don’t think it’s that I’m at a loss for words (I’m NEVER at a loss for words!!) but more that I’m just too lazy to break the printer out, and size and format everything I want to say. I know…use my own handwriting…but it kind of sucks! I like fancy fonts better!
Anyway, since I still owe my son and DIL a wedding scrapbook, (and they’ve been married for over two years!!) I guess I better get on with it! I found this cute little cartoon on a scrappy friend’s Facebook page this morning. I’m sorry but there was no photo credit to go with it, so I’m not sure where it originated from….but I leave you with this…
Oh, and don’t forget to hunt for the WOYWW badge/button if that ‘s what you like to do when you’re here! It’s hidden…but it’s there!
Happy Scrapping!

P.S no pin today!!?!?
I think you mentioned my middle name – too lazy to break out the printer…
I so know that feeling..
But I have learned overtime that – writing something /anything down on those pages is worth it…
so hop to it.. and get journalling
Have a great week..
I am so far on scrapbooking I will never catch up so I do an occasional page just to feel like I am trying.lol Love the lil cartoon.

Great cartoon! Love your pages in progress drawer. I have a few of those 12 x 12 envelopes with all the pieces in them, but then they move around lol. Happy WOYWW! #2
Cute cartoon, I chuckled, of course. You just can't rush great art!
Supper cartoon …I have had a lovely chuckle. I know what you mean about not liking your own handwriting. It is hard to just do it and not stress. Enjoy your week.

I don't do scrapbooking but I'm with you on the writing sucks front. I prefer fancy fonts too.
Found the badge btw.
Cheers, Elaine #10
Seeing all of these desks make me want to do a scrapbook. I like what I've been seeing.
I scrap for 7 grandkids and that really makes me a busy girl… love scrapbooking have a great week
Hi there, I finally found it this week. I never have before. I need to finish several projects soon. my photos are starting to pile up again. #27
I like to handwrite there is something about it that is very personal for those to enjoy have fun going thru your pages but I do like to have stamps or predone fonts for cards 🙂 hugs Nikki #26
looks like you are really busy with the scrapbook pages, i havent done any for years! trace x 48
I am so far behind too…I was sorting and found way too many unfinished projects that I once I am in my new craft space I have committed to finishing. Have a great week. Thanks for sharing! Vickie #67
I just know I will never get albums finished for my 4 and will end up with a drawer like yours…
loving the layouts and the cartoon is something I think we can all relate to lol
Hi Amy Spotted the badge! I love the cartoon it is so apt! Have fun with the finishing off – I have a pile just like yours and I am slowly but surely working through it! WOYWW Hugs to you from Helen 73
Oh my goodness, this cartoon is ME!! I can only do cards and tags as I am just so darn slow.

Yes, I think we can all sympathize – I know I have scrapbooks 'waiting to happen' for years now!!

i am terrible at getting my scrapbooks done im sure we all have half finished layouts hanging around.
happy woyww Mrs.C.xx
I'm not a scrapper but have started Smash books, so many ideas of things to do, so can only imagine what it must be like for those of you who scarp! Saw the badge, hidden there amongst the layouts! Take care Zo xx 118
LOL at the cartoon. I use my own handwriting, not b ecause I particularly like it, but because I have come to realise that my mom's letters are my most prized posessions now that she has passed. It is a direct link to her and somehow makes me feel she left a piece of herself for me.
Happy WOYWW!

I know it's nice to think a pretty font will be the perfect finish to your pages, but if you're doing these for anybody but yourself, you should know they'd love to have words written in your own hand. I cherish my mom's handwritten captions and letters.

Oemgee, that cartoon summarises so many people I know….! I'm a handwriter..for better or worse, I've read too much about how the handwriting is the 'artist signature' to the album..and anyway, I just want the page finihsed!
I didn't start scrapping until my children were in high school-so i'll never catch up and I've just accepted that.
