Mine! Mine!

 

This morning I'm thinking of Nemo. Do you remember the part where the seagulls are saying Mine! Mine! and the Pelican grabs Marlin and Dorey? If you haven't seen the movie, I would recommend it even if you don't have small kids.

So, what does Nemo have to do with Big Picture Scrapbooking?  Well, honestly nothing really unless you want to get philosophical and think about relationships, loss, letting your children find their path and redemption.  But your can relax, because I’m not feeling philosophical today!   Today I’m just thinking about going after something for me. 

As busy women sometimes “me” gets lost in the daily to do list, helping your children become better people and managing the relationships that are important to you. That’s why sometimes it’s important to remember the seagulls in Nemo.  They are single minded and focused on one thing.  Now while you don’t want to be single minded (or be associated with a seagull), once in awhile it’s ok to claim something that is only for you.

Which brings me to Cathy Zielske’s Me: The Abridged Version

An A to Z All About Me 4-Week Album Workshop.   It starts September 16th and is a class all about you, A to Z.   See how the Mine!  Mine! ties in here? 

If you’d like to claim your free spot in Cathy’s class.  Your challenge for today is to tell me something about YOU in the comments below by 9AM PDT this Wednesday.   Now there are some parameters here, I don’t want to hear about your lovely husband, how many kids you have or even your cute kitten, Snookers.  I want to hear about you!

 

About me, I really hate cleaning and I secretly watch General Hospital. 

See you in class! 

Our winner for Cathy Z's class is Lisa!

Lisa said:

My name is Lisa. I love Disney World and I wish I could live there, instead of here. I enjoy scrapbooking, reading a good book, and eating out. Right now, I'd really love to have a Cherry Limeade from Sonic!

Thanks to everyone for your great comments!  Check back in tomorrow for a guest post from Cathy!

I can't go to asleep unless I'm wearing socks. :)

[{vicki}]

I have one brown eye and 1 blue eye

[Norma-ann]

I can't open my right eye for a full three minutes after I wake up in the morning.

P.s. I already got mine! I'm signed up! I want to win this for a friend. :)

[Brenda]

I hate housework but love a clean house! I love desserts and sometimes I skip meals and just have dessert!

[Cara S]

I've just started running, and even though it is ridiculously hard from me and most of the time I feel like I'm going to die when I'm finished, I also really, really love it.

[Carrie S.]

I am almost done with a six month long project--reorganizing my scrap room. Can't wait until I'm finished!

[Tami F]

I'm petrified of balloons for some reason. I do let my kids have them at parties, but they freak me out. Have no idea why.

[Fiona]

I love summer - I really do !!! But I'm over it this year - so OVER it ! I'm sick of the heat, sick of the humidity, sick of living in an air conditioned environment. I can't wait for the temps to cool so that I can be outside without melting, get my jeans out AND open windows !!! And if it could rain for a day that would be great too - I'm reading a GREAT book that I would like to finish.....

[Keitha]

I want to go storm-chasing some day - you know, with those crazy guys who get up close to tornadoes? Which is kind of funny, as I hated the movie "The Wizard of Oz" as a kid - I used to have nightmares about my bed whirling away in space.

[SharonS]

About me: I teach students with learning and behavior difficulties, and sometimes I'm pretty darn good at it. Also, a bite of Dove Chocolate is the first thing I put in my mouth every morning ;o)

[Angie Kyle]

I love to organize my scrapbooking stuff, pictures, digital goodies almost as much as actually scrapbooking! I also love disposable everything so I don't have more to clean...like, I have a huge stash of disposable bowls, cups, flatware etc. that we use EVERY day then throw away.

[Angela H]

I decided this year to make as much time for myself as possible. I've made the things I want to do fit into the family schedule and I'm loving being able to workout, read books, scrapbook, chill and watch tv, take a BPS class or whatever I want. I know that Cathy's class is a perfect fit for how I'm living my life this year.

[Duckienz]

I have recently started breeding chickens and I LOVE it. Weird when my entire life I have avoided living rurally. Who knew that it was the life for me...? Allie

[Jean D]

I love playing with paper & learning that I can draw (not well but I can).
By the way I think that they are sea gulls that say "Mine" in Nemo - unless the US version is different to Australia's

[goldnuggt]

I'm a Fox News addict. Any time I am at home, I have it on in the background.

[Paulette]

I am learning to love trying new things... My newest venture is the back seat of a Harley!!! It's never too late, just sayin':o)

[Amy K]

I am an organizing fanatic, and love to purchase organizing gadgets for our bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, and especially for my office and craftroom.
Thanks for the chance to win a spot in Cathy's awesome class.

[Nancy]

I'm feeling very overwhelmed lately and great blogs to read are not helping... :)

[Majda]

I found that's so important to think of myself enough so that I can think and take care of others. It's an often said truth but not easy to live. :) This year I've taken more time for myself, for my workout, reading and crafts and it's so worth it. OK, I admit, sometimes it was quite hard and I was feeling guilty. :) Through Big Picture Scrapbooking I've discovered the "me"-dimension in scrapbooking, I've done more pages about myself and I am very thankful for it! Thank you so much!!!

[mary]

I'm Kelly. I graduated for the first time in my life at age 44 this year. I love my job delivering babies at home...most days I'm amazed that I get paid to do this! I've missed scrapbooking at all while I was in school, but am ready to do something awesome with it now...I think I'm a pretty good subject but never seem to manage to get me in the books. Maybe this time!

[Karen P]

I wanted to marry Atom Ant when I was a kid. Thought he was amazing and handsome. Loved his colors. I've always been boy crazy and had many "interesting" crushes throughout my childhood.

I'll put that in a book about me!

[Sue Bone]

I'm allergic to chocolate.

[Amber Sturgill]

I'm a coffee addict and love everything about it. The smell of a fresh opened bag, it brewing, the anticipation of the liquid gold. Ahh, so amazing. Yep I'm weird I know. Thanks so much for the chance with this class.

[Lynn M]

I LOVE quilting and I cry at the beginning of "Finding Nemo" at the part...well you know, every time. Would love to win a spot in Cathy's class. Thanks for the chance.
