some scrapbook pages

Because one of my goals this year is to get better about working on my scrapbooks, I figured I'd post a few of the pages that I've gotten done since the calendar flipped from '08 to '09. Now, you scrappers out there don't need to tell me that these aren't exactly award winning layouts - I'm aware. I think that right now I'm so behind that I'm focusing more on quantity than quality. Maybe once I get a bit more caught up I can get back to spending more time on a single page and making it something to be proud of. For now, I'm proud of the fact that 5 days into the year I've gotten 7 pages done. Go me. And at the moment I'm too lazy to crop these, so you're getting some background behind the pages. Oh, how I wish I had a 12x12 scanner!!

project 365 - day five/my scrap room is DONE

The overhaul on my scrapbook room is complete. Wow, was that a LOT of work but I think pretty worth it. I ended up cleaning out the closet, as well, and a misc. crafting cabinet. All in all I'm getting rid of three stacking drawer organizers (a 3 foot tall one and two 5 foot tall ones), a 4 foot long table, and EIGHT bags of trash. Wow. There is SO much more room in here now. Loving it. Now I just have to scrap. lol.

project 365 - day two

Being the spontaneous kind of girl that I am, I decided rather impulsively today that I needed to completely reorganize my scrapbooking space. So I figured it would be fitting that today's photo be a "before" shot. With luck, after will only be a few days away, as the destruction remodeling has already begun.
The photo here shows about 1/3 or 1/4 of my scrapbooking stuff, and doens't nearly convey the level of disaster that I operate in around here.

project365

My girls over at Hilltop Memories posted about this today, and I am honest to God thinking about doing it. Am I crazy? Perhaps. Let's see, an entire two years behind on pics (Oh. My. God.) and I am truly contemplating taking a full 365 more in 2009? And let's face it, it'll be more than that, cause there will be events at which I will want, no need to take more than one pic in a day. Guaranteed. So is it wise to bring this into my life? Honestly, I don't know, but MAN that kit is cute. Really thinking about it. If there was a pre-order I woulda already done it.

unmotivated

Not sure what my deal is, but I can't seem to get inspired to do much of anything today. Granted, it's almost 1am now, but it's pretty much been like this all day. Lots of wasting time, playing around on the computer. I did just scrapbook four pages, but they are nothing spectacular. But at least that's four more done than I had before. Being almost two years behind, I'm now going for quantity over quality. Oh well. I would take pics of them, but I can't seem to find my camera. Oops. I hope that I can pull it together more tomorrow and actually get something accomplished. To do: groceries, home depot (blinds for my master bedroom) and clean master bedroom. Oh, and laundry. Ugh. It doesn't seem to matter how much laundry I do, there are always at least five loads more. I simply don't understand how that can be.
