Just a quick LO

I did this layout quickly, in between me sorting out supper, and bathing Emma. While I was putting it together I was thinking to myself that I must not 'faff'. I tend to 'faff' allot with my pages with then results in a time consuming LO. Presently, at my pace of scrapping, I am never going to make a dent in my stash, and that is scary.
So my action plan to make space for more stash is the following:
1. Do quick simple LO's
2. Have photo's on hand, because this is one thing I am never organised with. When ever I go to a crop I land up rushing around just before leaving trying to print photo's, which then lands up being a disaster and normally don't accomplish much and I then resort to faffing.
3. Plan LO's, by keeping a journal of inspiration.
4. Make presents for family and friends.
5. Offer RAK on my blog to my readers, (now I am not sure how others do this, and for what occasions, then again do we need an occasion ?) I know that one of my scrappy buddies offer RAK for challenges. I have seen another crafty blogger do it at a certain number of visitors. So if you would be so kind comment here so I can see your thoughts on RAK and when one should offer it.
6. Do mini albums.

Cute L.O! Love the arrow thingie.

RAK's are great...most people ask a question of sorts & then choose their fav. response. Or suggest a challenge of sorts...cards are always good...& quick. People are more inclined to submit a card that a whole L.O if it isn't a dedicated challenge site.

Now Missy...if you have so much stash...you are not allowed to laugh at the piddly little RAK I am sending you. Hey! you get a hand made card...that's something hey? hey???
Hahahahahaha!
Anyhow...thanks for the postal address...you probably get it next week of so.
:o)
