At the start of the year I was inspired to do a 365 album where you take a picture of each day of the year to chronicle your life. Well, it's Feb now and I fee like I'm out of ideas. Feb and March do tend to be the months I take the least amount of pictures because it's busy season for CPA's and we don't do much but work...oh, guess I should take a pic of a blank tax return. Anyway, I've taken pics of the dog, the kids, places I've eaten, people in my Bible studies. What else can I add to my...

I took 3 days to clean the house so it wouldn't wear me out by Friday. The kids were off from school but did well as far as keeping the downstairs clean. I was so concerned about the clean house and spending some time with the kids on Friday that I didn't plan any layouts for my own crop. I assumed in the back of my mind I had the next set of pictures developed and ready to crop. When I searched here and there they were nowhere to be found.

I had fun stamping cards on Saturday. All the others at my friend's CTMH crop were working on scrapbooks, but I didn't really stand out. I've never used CTMH clear stamps so that was fun.

I added the layouts I completed last Friday. Keep in mind it's easier for me to do digital layouts now. I think I have to learn traditional layouts all over again! I'm a simple scrapper so don't hold your breath. I'd like ds to journal in his own Scout album. This may be the last year he does Scouts. I also added the first set of cards I'm sending to cardsforheros.org! I stayed up late last night going through my scraps of paper and stamps for some ideas. Once I started the ideas started ...

We had our church crop last night and there were only three of us, but I planned during the week what I would work on so I wouldn't just sit there looking through my pages and papers. I finished younger son's kindergarten year in his school album! So that was 5 pages. Then I did two layouts in older son's scout book. And I did some finishing touches on older son's bday album for years 5-8. YIpee! Tonight we just returned from eating out with friends. We were celebrating my bday tomorrow! ...
