Chit Chat for February Speed Scrap Marathon 2014

[Hpgirl]

I have closing shifts that weekend that I can't afford to give away (I'll have taken too much time off if I end up doing a spring break cruise) but I'm going to try and make at least the half marathon.

I am going to do my best to attend all the chats but I should be able to squeeze in my layouts. The bigger issue is I am almost out of Disney photos to scrap. If it was a month later I'd have a whole new trip to scrap. Guess I will have to do some place holder photos or rescrap some photos I'm not 100% happy with the layout for.

Looking forward to all the fun and I a great bit thank you to the hosts and designers.

If it was this week, it would be perfect! Next week, WOW! I have hockey, dance, modelling class, sleepover party, hockey, catechism, church, modelling, rugby, dance and another hockey game. I will get the pages done, but no one will want to be around me!

This will be my third SS and I've done all 16 both times. I'm too stubborn not to get them all done. Wish me luck!

How do you update Java? I have not logged in a long while and I tried it yesterday and was unsuccessful. Any hints. I have Safari and I have never had any problems logging in before. I realize that this time it will be different since I need to update it but I do not know where to start. Hints?

I keep checking to see if any of the PPs have been added! Can't wait

Just checked to make sure I can get into the chat room, too; however, If I chat...I usually don't scrap at the same time so I might just stick to the forum

I tried the chat room tonight using Safari and the java updates are not working at all on safari. I've even tried the past few days to google the issue hoping someone else asked and got a good answer no luck.

I did however go to my IE and did a java update and it work perfectly. I thought maybe their might be chatting going on about the superbowl commericals but I was all alone... haha

I had this problem for about 2 years in between my last 2 trips! I had finished my prior trip....and my next trip wasn't for a couple years still! YET, I wanted to keep scrapping Disney! some things I did, that you can try too!

scrap your planning stages for an upcoming trip
create Quick Pages (scrap a page using old photos or stock photos...and remove them to make a quick page
scrap Disney around your house- a new Princess outfit, kids playing with Disney toys, Halloween (my girls always seem to have at least 1 Disney costume in their group), Paint your fingernails or toenails in a Disney print (Mickey heads or polka dots work great).

Anything that has a Mickey/disney theme to it can work! Even eating Mickey pancakes, or take photos of Disney around your house (any past souvenears, kitchen items, that type of thing!

Hope those helped!

Cynthia, thank you for the planning pages!
