Time After Time...

I am being quite prolific recently, thanks to doing the challenges over at the Nook with Pearl. I am diligently doing all the challenges that are of interest to me. "Stash reduction," what beautiful words in my lexicon...
I entered this layout below into the "Use the same photo more than once on a layout" challenge, and I was an hour late unfortunately, so it did not count. I did not intend for those little photos to span out and look like a Christmas tree, but it kinda does... I still absolutely like this layout though. The idea of using these lyrics is not new, in fact I have a layout using these lyrics for First Born, so it's only fair that Second Child gets her shot in glory and fame, lol...
I also want to add that I received two amazing emails from Scrapbook Trends today requesting two projects from me. My first reaction is obviously utter elation "NO WAY, they like me!" My second reaction is always "Why didn't they want my other projects?" Then not too long afterwards, I wonder, "Will it ever happen again?" Yeah, I am just not one to REALLY ENJOY the moment, am I? time after time...

hohoho ! go you ! its a wonderful toot nevertheless ! reactions aside ! Your style is highly suitable for publishing !;-) not surprising at all !

But that's a familiar refrain - why didnt they choose your "better loved" layouts - thats how it goes it would seem ! ( like I know ! I certainly haven't been pubbed in a print mag b4 ! )

I wonder what else is gonna be up for us this week - last week wasnt all that fast & furious ! ;-)
