My Photo
I'm 29 years old. I've been married to Michael Reitmeyer for 9 years and I'm incredibly grateful for that; he takes excellent care of me and allows me to be a stay-at-home-wife. I'm mom to Gambit Lebeau Reitmeyer (9) our brown tabby cat, Viggo Sanders Reitmeyer (6) our purebred Golden, and Sirius Lupin Reitmeyer (-1 year) our black purebred Pomeranian. I have Cystic Fibrosis, Anxiety Disorder, ADHD, and Osteoarthritis and as much as I try not to let that define me, it does. It's not something I can forget easily and it affects every part of my life. I just have to deal with that. I'm a housewife, a writer, and a crafter. My passion is writing LGBT romance novels. When I'm not writing I'm either colouring or scrapbooking. Sometimes both! My scrap closet is my happy place, although I wish it were bigger. I'm not too terribly interesting, but I talk a lot to make up for it. I'm sarcastic, I'm snarky, I'm honest to a fault, I always speak my mind, I swear, and I'm a childish brat sometimes, but if you can handle that and get to know me, I'm pretty fun to be around.

Captured 2013 Intro Page

A new year is pretty strange for me. Part of me is excited for the ability to get a new start on things. A clean slate. The other part of me is still bitter about the previous year, as it seems there's always something to be bitter about; usually round the end of the year. That time between the end of Christmas and the beginning of the new year is a depressing few days for me, I've no idea why. It's like you're neither here nor there, just waiting for something to happen

Anyway, less depressing, I'm going with Project Life straight off this year. No more pretending I can pull off a Project 365; my life just is not that interesting. I'm going to be using Amy Tan's Sketchbook line because it's bright and pretty. The Simple Stories Life Documented line was easy last year, but a bit sombre. This line is bright and varied and should hopefully work with nearly everything I take pictures of.

I always start off my intro page with a little "hello, this is the new year, this is how it's starting" even when I was just trying for monthly sum up layouts. What state of mind I'm in, what's going on, and what I hope for the new year. That kind of thing. Here's to actually completing this project!

ETA: You can find my very first week laid out here on my personal blog
