Does anyone else have these? You know, dreams like you walk into high school n.a.k.e.d or that you get to the alter on your wedding day and you've got brownie all over your face? LOL!
Well I have one, and I get it about every three months or so. It is always the same basic thing. It always involves me not completing a high school or college class. I will find that I missed a whole semester or I forgot to do the term paper or that I am all set to graduate and they tell me on the day that I still need one more English class. One version is that I have "one more class" to take and I cannot fit it into my schedule in order to graduate on time. I HATE the dream. I fret in my sleep and then when I wake up I am relieved, but still have the horrible pit in my stomach. Now just so you know, I DID graduate from both high school AND college, so the dream doesn't make much sense to me. But I still get it all the time and it leaves me a little jittery. I should keep copies of my diplomas by my bed so when I wake up in the morning (or in the middle of the night) freaking out I can try to reassure myself! LOL!
So that was MY night last night! At least it was just a bad dream instead of the previous evenings of dealing with my sick little child! She threw up just once yesterday morning and since then has seemed to be better. Thankful for that!
Just one LO to share with you today. I did this one a few weeks back. Over the summer I started talking with Kelly (a 2006 CK Hall of Famer) who runs a new monthly kit club in the paper scrapping world. We started talking about ways to help paper scrappers incorporate some digital techniques to help their scrapping go faster. What we came up with was for me to make some photo collage templates. See, if you are a paper scrapper it would be a LOT of work to make one of these work. You would have to print, and cut, and then assemble. Most people wouldn't bother. So, I made a few templates for exclusive use for the IT KIT's. They shipped yesterday and people will have a chance to download them and hopefully get over their fear of digital. Now my LO is all digital but I used one of the photo collage templates.

Hope that everyone has a great Tuesday. Not much on our schedule today. Some cleaning is definitely needed and a trip to the pool is high on Alaina's list of priorities!
I have a very similar set of anxiety dreams...mine usually involve having missed every session of class and showing up for the final unprepared. Or trying to withdraw from the class after the withdrawal deadline. I think these dreams speak to our feelings of being unprepared for where we're at right now. I know you've had some "oh my goodness how did I get here" feelings over being a finalist in the Scrapbooker of the Year contest. Maybe it's related to that. Just have to say, I think the idea of photo collage templates for paper scrappers is BRILLIANT. I hope people eat 'em up!!!

Oh My goodness--I have those dreams too! There are two--either I go to a final exam (HS or College) and I realize I have not gone to the class all year/semeseter; or I am in a play/musical and it is opening night, but i never went to any rehearsals and don't know my lines. Ugh. Don't like those!! Congrats on this new venture--sounds exciting! When do you go to Vegas??

That's really cool, Janet! Glad Alaina is doing better!

I have a quick question for you....is there any way I could buy a copy of the templates you created. I love your page, just want to do it digitally and was wondering if you would sell me the template? I know you probably don't get requests like this very often but the minute I saw the page I thought of one I would love to do for my daughter about her Daddy. He travels a lot and I wanted to make her a layout with shots of him all over the world and then hang it in her room. I completely understand if there is no way, but I had to try :). You are a constant source of inspiration and I enjoy reading your blog.

Ahhhh!! I have a dream almost exactly like that... except my dream is that I'm in college and it is the end of the semester and semester tests are starting... and that's when I realize that the class that I had intended to drop early in the semester hadn't been dropped! So I had to go take a semester test for a class that I hadn't been to all semester! I hate that dream - and I have it once or twice a year! And I finished college, too! Who knows! Hope y'all are doing well!
