I'm going to be working on "A Page-A-Day in May" scrapbook challenge this month. I've actually not scrapped at all for about the last year and a half...basically since just before Aubrey was born, other than to complete the Moore family Christmas pages each December. So, the above is Aubrey's first scrapbook page. Ta da!
Once I started yesterday, though, I can't say that I really enjoyed it. It was almost painful! That can't be good in terms of a hobby, can it? It is totally messy!! Or, more accurately, I am totally messy when I scrap...my dining room table is a wreck now. And, I am sooooo slow at it that it was frustrating.
But still, I want to do this challenge, if nothing else to see if I want to keep doing it. I really do want to figure out a way to make this work because, quite frankly, I feel like I've got too much cash invested in pretty paper and glue to give it up completely. (Can I get an Amen from all the scrapbookers out there?) So I have some plans...some digital layouts to help control the mess, some scrap nights with friends (Kristie, I'll be calling you!), and some stories that I want to be sure to record.
All that to say that, over on the right-hand sidebar, at the bottom, is a link to my Page-A-Day photo album where you can check in on my progress this month. And you never know when you might show up on one of the layouts yourself...I've got quite a few stories that need to be recorded about most of y'all!
Happy May!

Amen. I'm about to just start getting albums and trying to at least get the pictures put in some sort of order and going from there.
I haven't done albums in two years. I am not worthy.
LEIGH!!! I can't believe you would give up scrapping! I wanted to do the page a day challange but can't get into it for just one page, so I just set aside a couple hours and do it! Between this weekend and last I managed a whopping 20 pages which were double layouts.. so all together 40 pages! (ok bragging over) So instead of doing a page a day my goal is to make sure I get five pages done a week. Just not one a day as I agree too big of a mess.
