GOBI- Get Organized, Be Inspired

That's one of the online classes that I'm currently taking through Big Picture Scrapbooking and my Finish It Friday project this week!

I've found in the past that I'm not very consistent with online coursework... well, maybe I'm consistently inconsistent. I'm trying to be better and have just now finished Week 2 of this class (we're in week 7).

So, in Week 2, we make our Inspiration Log. This is so I have a place to put all those ideas that pop into my head from magazines, photos, dreams, greeting cards, etc. It then becomes a reference folder.

I enjoyed this assignment... got to use lots of Mod Podge, which is a favorite glue of mine!

Photo Quilt kicks off "Finish It Fridays"

Last year at ScrapBowl 2008, I took a class with Shimelle Lane, a fabulously creative soul! We brought a series of pictures printed on cardstock to class and proceeded to cut, color, paint, stamp and distress those and other cardstock squares for our quilt. I never got around to sewing it all together during the crop.

Almost one year later, I saw that project sitting unfinished in a bag on my shelf. As a collector of projects, I have MANY things started that I've never quite gotten around to completing. So, I've decided to institute "Finish It Fridays", whereby I take a project that I've begun and finish it. Easy, right? We'll see!

In honor of the picture-quilt-never-finished, I began with that! And guess what?? I completed it! I feel so accomplished I shared it with all the other moms at the bus stop. Here are the pictures:
