Overhwhelm me....I whelcome it!!!!

I finally realize why I haven't yet gotten myself completely immersed in the artistic culture that is scrap-booking. It is utterly and insanely involved. There is a limitless amount of materials out there to choose from - not to mention endless ideas and layouts. The control freak/perfectionist in me would keep me from ever being satisfied with my finished product. I came to this conclusion recently because I am in the process of organizing my BFF's bridal shower. I was asked to be the Matron-of-Honor, and I could not be more thrilled. I have received numerous remarks about my unrelenting enthusiasm that have really kept me encouraged that I could do a great job. But, the insane industry that is wedding and shower planning is enough to send me over the edge. I am not Type-A from head to toe: I am a little of column A and a little of column B, literally! But in this respect, I fit the profile. According to Wikipedia.com's article on Type A & B personalities, "They are often high achieving workaholics who multi-task, drive themselves with deadlines, and are unhappy about the smallest of delays." That describes me in all of my Matron-of-Honorness. So, combine that informal diagnosis with infinite shower options to choose from, and you have many decisions to be made! I have managed to narrow the field down to a theme - "Preppy Chic." Think argyle, monogramming, and cherry blossoms. Sorta like a romantic afternoon at a country club, tee hee. I challenge you to leave me comments about all things "Preppy Chic"-oriented that you happen to come across. Very soon, I will start to update this blog with finalized ideas. Check back soon!
