Oooops..It's Gone!

Yesterday was an average day..well average for me at least! Rushed too much, stressed too much and multitasked with everything I had..no, not true, my left leg was doing nothing!! It was an other full day and as usual I ended the day..way behind, still loads more I should have done. In the evening I went for a relaxing time and sorted papers and shredded myself a mountain. I need to get my mums papers sorted out before she gets back on Sunday..so not a lot of time to fit it in. I've already done loads but still more to go. All went well..at least to start with. I do have a tendency to do one thing and at the same time be planning an other twenty things..which can be tricky!! I sifted through the heap in front of me saying;;;..old, old, very old, where did that come from, need it, as I sorted. Old got shredded as I went, so did very old and the "where did that come from" and "need that" put aside. By now the shredded paper was just about to take over the world and my mind was planning a research strategy mixed with tomorrow nights menu....so you can see automatic mode had set in. "Old, old, aaaaaah!!!". My god, I had just put the tax return needed for my stepfather's final return into the shredder!!!!! I tried to turn it off..pressed the wrong button and sped the stupid machine up faster!! It just snatched the rest in...ooops!! I only panicked for a moment..honest! Then the organised part of me came back and solemnly wrote Phone Tax Office for new form on my "to do - urgent list". See I am organised. Feeling just a little calmer I decided that I would stop for the evening and struggled to the bins with two large sacks of paper confetti....somewhere in there a tax form lurks!

So what do we have for you today? I thought an other little something that was flower inspired., and it's a frame. This isn't a kit just some random bits I made but I thought I'd share with you.

Now for today's little bit of trivia! You know those statues of kings and famous people from history sitting on a horse, well if the horse has both front legs of the ground then the person died in battle, if the horse has only one leg of the ground then the person died of natural causes. (Told you it was trivia! An other bit of useless info!) But one more extra bit, that could be useful...on average men can read smaller print than women but women can hear better!! So, if you want something that your other half may not be too keen on and want a quick agreement.... don't try to put it in the small print to get it past him, just whisper in his ear! Lol!

Just look at this wonderful page from Erica..that white tiger is awesome!! Her journaling is lovely and shows how innocent but perceptive children are. I love the wavy paper edge she has used..it really adds interest. A fantastic layout!!

Step By Step Looks interesting, but the link would not work (for me anyway) The Lo with your Go Wild Kit is awesome.

Beautiful frame June, sounds like you are having some days like mine have been lately. I have something for you on my blog :)

Oh, you sound like me June... always too much to do and not enough time! Don't get me started on the "Ugly" papers... that is what my daughter calls the bills and all that stuff... the scraps are the "Pretty" papers! Thanks for the Frame ;) BFN

Not sure what was happening there but the link seems to be working fine now folks.

Thank you June for sharing the info about Step by Step Digital Scrapbook with your readers. I do appreciate it. I hope I can inspire and help some beginners on their digital scrapbooking journey of discovery.

I cannot believe you went from panic to organised to quickly June. If that were me I'd still be staring gobsmacked at the shredder as though I could turn back time. I am in awe.

And that's an uber cute frame June. I'll have to include it in today's Five Freebies on Friday on Scraps of Mind.
