The A to Z is set to start next week and I am not even close to being ready. I have my topic and some vague ideas of what I’m going to talk about but usually by this time I at least have the drafts for each letter and a few pictures uploaded. This year…nada. I’ve decided that today I’m going to at least get all 26 drafts started and hopefully A and B done.
What’s the holdup this year? I’m not 100% sure. Perhaps I’m over complicating the theme. I mean, thinking of activities to do on dates should be easy, right? I even have a list of ideas I was going to choose from. Maybe it’s because I wanted my husband and I to actually go on these dates so I’d have pictures and I know that’s not happening with the time we have left. Maybe it’s that I wanted to do more research. Maybe it’s because I’ve been busy with actual typing work and making money takes priority over playing on the internet. I even gave a half-second thought to changing the theme but a) I don’t know what to change it to unless I do more of my concert album and that requires A LOT of time and b) I got a lot of positive responses from my faithful followers that they were looking forward to my take on the subject and I hate to disappoint. So, today is draft day. Maybe once I get them started I’ll be more inspired.
Speaking of inspiration, let me leave with a few of the things I’ve been working on for the Etsy Shop. Truthfully, these were done before the last show I did and I just didn’t have time to put them up until the other day.
Can you tell I really love the exploding boxes? I have some papers picked out for a couple of Mother’s Day ones. I also love working with the Creative Memories card kits. Being a consultant helps with that.
Anyway, there we are. How far are you with your A to Z progress? Shall we take bets to see if I can make it?

I really love your exploding boxes! I’m sure you’ll do fine with the A-Z challenge. Your blog is one of those I just get once a week (with all the prior posts in one) so I’ll just comment on a few… but I’ll be cheering you on!

I bet that you’ll finish the A to Z Challenge… eventually. No need to stress yourself about doing it only in April. May is a nice month, too.

Thanks Ally. One year I did go into May to finish. It felt weird but I got over it.

I’m better prepared than ever before, perhaps because I started earlier. I’m sure you’ll manage somehow, Janet.

Firstly those look super cute!
Secondly even if you do want to change your theme, I think you should go for it! You can do this one next year, when you have more time and get more research done!
Thirdly, I’ve not written anything in the past 2 weeks, I’m stuck!

I’ve been the King of Overcomplicating this year, although I do have A and B done (not happy with B, though). You’ll do fine…
