In the last month or so I have been saving every email I wanted to answer in a mail file called "answer this!" I thought it would make my emailing more efficient, but all it did was make it a lot easier to procrastinate.

So today one of my huge goals is to go through that file and answer those emails. I promise I was not blowing you off, I was just avoiding having to sit down and focus for more than a minute. I'm having a REALLY hard time doing that lately. I'm going to try and make up for it in the next few days.

Also, good news on the house: instead of "one month" we heard yesterday they estimate it will be three weeks until we can move in! I am very excited now. That means maybe we'll actually be able to move into the house this summer!

News from adoption agency: The facilitator took a tremendous amount of photos while he was in Vietnam of all the babies who are waiting to come home, so he's going through his photos and emailing them to families with documents and information, etc. So if he took pictures of Cupcake while he was in Vietnam, we will receive them when he gets around to downloading them. *phew*

I'm starting a Lifebook/Scrapbook for Cupcake. I have never done scrapbooking before. Can anyone give me tips on what to buy, essentials, good sites, etc.?

Chel (pronounced "shell"). 34. Mama to Gracie. Artist. Friend. Adoptive parent. Scrapbooker (not a very good one, at that). Long distance swimmer. Animal rescuer. Wife. Beader maker. Vegetarian. Rubber stamp collector.

Why the change? This new face of gingerblue.com is the culmination of three online journals/blog (the adoption blog, the baby blog, the art blog), plus the personal web page I have been maintaining since 1995. Here you'll find updates on Gracie, updates on my jewelry making, what I have going on in my art studio, and what's going on with life in general.
