Living the Quarantine Life

Hi everyone,

I hope you are doing okay.  I think I'm now on week 8 of working from home!  The time is flying.  Thankfully, the Boston area hit their peak in late April.  We appear to be on the downward trend.  I'm just praying that we don't get hit with another major outbreak this fall/winter.

The only advantage of the pandemic is being able to stay at home with my family.  I've basically worked my entire life.  When driving to work, I'd often dream of the days I could stay in my pj's all day and be home when my girls got home from school.  Although my girls are doing school at home, it is still nice to spend this precious time together.

To help document the pandemic, I created these two layouts using CTMH's 'Let's Stay Home' stamp set and Photoplay's 'Living the Quarantine Life'.

The paper pack comes with some journal cards that help document this experience.  My plan is to make 2 sets of this LO and have each daughter fill out the notes and select the pictures. I doubt any of us will ever forget this experience!


Here is a close of the CTMH 'Let's Stay Home' stamp set.

The stamp is available at my CTMH store .

And, if that was not enough, CTMH came out with these two new Covid stamps sets.  I just can't get enough of these!  The first one is called 'The Great Indoors'.


Here's a look at the second one-- it's called 'On Repeat'.

I'll receive the new stamps next week and I can't wait!!

Lastly, I was asked to make a few of these kits for my crafty friends. If you'd like a kit, then please let me know or see the 'Kits' tab.

Thank you for stopping by and stay healthy!

NSD Quarantine Cards-- CTMH

Hello everyone,

CTMH has a number of bundles available for National Scrapbook Day (NSD).  Although NSD has come and gone, the kits are still available.  Here is one of the kits using the Quarantine Covid stamp kits.


My favorite part of this kit is all the Toilet Paper references.  Who would ever believe that it would be so hard to find TP?  Every time I go to the grocery store, I'm on the look out for it.  Stores limit 1-2 per family.  But even with that, it is hard to find.

Here is a close up of the card kit.  I used some of the Blue Skies paper to jazz them up a bit.


Any way, I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy.  If you can, spread some cheer and send more cards.

Thanks, Maureen

CTMH Aurora

Hi there,

how are you holding up?  It's week 6 for me working from home.  They are turning part of my office into a Covid-19 unit for some of our patients.  So, I'll be working from home for a while!!

During the last 2 decades, I've worked from home. It has mainly been for 1 day per week.  Doing full time was a lot harder than I thought.  I miss talking to people and my routine.  I look forward to when we'll be on the other end of this!  Please stay safe.

Anyway, I've had some extra time on my hands.  I just completed this 6 page LO kit.  It will be ready to ship out on 5/15.  Please pre-order yours!


Thank you for stopping by,
Maureen
