Some days I would feel sorry for myself because instead of working and running a store, I just wanted to be home scrapbooking for myself...
but then I put together all my finished pages from the last year {and some from the year before}...and I actually did scrapbook something!
that's a lot of layouts! and I didn't even count them...dang it!
And now most all of them are put in sheet protectors and into my albums! It's about time! I did run out of sheet protectors and I need to buy some more 12x12 albums one for 2008 & 2009, and I guess this year too :)
I made a challenge for myself that I am not going to buy anymore scrapbook stuff and use what I have, with the exception of the basics like adhesives, albums & sheet protectors!
Oh...and House of 3 digital stuff doesn't count :)
But then I remembered that CHA was just a couple weeks ago, and I thought of all the new product coming out! Ahhhh! Does it ever end? It's an addiction I tell ya! I will allow myself to buy some of the new Parisian Anthology collection!
Any way... I repaired a couple of pages that Gulianna got into while they were displayed at my store...she has ripped off so many flowers off my pages!
here are some of the layouts that I put into albums...
this one is one of my favorites! love this hs paper! {scrap lifted from Keisha C.}
fun butterflies!
and I love this one too! I had forgotten that we used to call Isa 'Happy' because she was always such a happy baby! This is why I scrapbook!

these 2 pages wouldn't stand up together...
and I love this line from Making Memories...5th Avenue! one of my very favorites!
So I've been trying to get even more organized...I thought I already was :)
But now all my pictures that are on my external hard drive are organized by date. I already had them in folders by year 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010...but now when you click on each folder there is a separate folder for each month and then when you click on the month each folder is organized by the exact date that the pictures were taken! And I have a lot of pictures! This will help when I am scrapbooking...because I remember events by dates, and I always stamp the date on my scrapbook pages too.
Yesterday I spent most of my day going through my scrapbook paper, and got rid of about 2 inches worth :)
Remember this post? yeah...what a waste!
Just trying to get rid of what I know I won't use... and yet, there are lots of papers that I don't want to use, because they are just for looking at! Any body with me here? :) I went through my Christmas paper and got rid of a ton...and then I went through my Halloween paper, and I love it so much and can't part with it! I love Halloween! There was paper that I could have gotten rid of...but I bought it for specific pictures...so I need to just hurry and use it!
Okay...back to organizing!
