Hey guys! Let's try this again...

So the last time I came back in early 2014, that lasted all of a couple weeks because my Mom was diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately, we lost her in April 2015 and while 2014 was full of making memories while we could ( I spent the whole summer with her during her initial chemo, and then additional weeks/months until the end), 2015 was a year of just surviving each day. There were good times, my Dad and I went to Disneyland in July. A 6 month old kitten showed up on our back porch in September, DH and I took a "just us" trip to DL in early December, and we just got back from a pretty good Christmas in Florida, but most days I found myself not being able to commit to anything. If something got done, good, otherwise try again tomorrow.

So needless to say, there was no scrapping. I made a couple cards for various purposes and that got the creative juices flowing a little. DH had bought me a Silhouette for Christmas/Birthday 2014 and while I had a goal to use it at least once in 2015, I'm not quite sure I'm going to make it. I guess I still have tomorrow.

So 2016 goals

Be present in my own life - just in general, I was so committed to making sure my Mom's last days were the best they could be, and that my Dad was transitioning okay, that I ended up feeling very detached from myself. So getting back into scrapping is a way to get back to being able to focus on me and what brings me enjoyment.

Use the Silhouette

Once my scrap room is cleaned out (shouldn't take too long, became a catchall for things we didn't want the new cat to get in to), scrap 10 pages per week. So I guess my yearly total goal is 520.

Albums/Projects

2013 Hawaii/Aulani (we are going back in late April/early May for 2nd nephew's 1st birthday luau and so I want the first trip done, or more accurately started)
2015 Disneyland trip with my Dad
2015 Disneyland with DH
Universal Orlando - various years

I also have another big project in that I need to organize all of my family photos. I didn't think that would happen for years, because my Mom would have them. But now I do. They are in loose chronological order, but I want to scan all the negatives/photos so I can put them together in digital books for my Dad to look at if he wants, instead of just being in photo envelopes. And make sure all the names and places and dates if known. My Mom did a pretty good job of labeling, especially the stuff I was too young to remember, but some stuff slips through.
 
2016 Goals

Well, after my break, I decided to start scrapping my Australia trips and my Far East trips with the Navy. So far, I've completed quite a few pages (I'll have a proper count tonight), and I'm on the last few days of my first trip.

The final count for my Disney book - 110 pages! :crazy2: The girls love looking through it though and I'm really happy with the results.

Shopping - ON SALE only or via CM when I can afford it. Luckily Michael's has a lot of sales and I get 20% off EVERYTHING with my Veteran's ID.
 
PrincessNancy, I saw your goals and had a question. What is the difference in your Christmas book and your Christmas tree book? Christmas is one of my favorite times and wondered if I need to start something new! LOL I only have one type of Christmas book. :)
 
I have one book, it's an 8x8 album that is solely a photo of our tree every year from the first tree I ever did on my own when we had our daughter. I have a photo of each tree in the house (big trees) and the year on the page so they kids can see how it changes from year to year. (One year the bottom was heavy with ornaments compared to now since they are as taller).

My Christmas book is a highlight page of each family Christmas.

I even have a Halloween book that if finished since they are "too old" to dress up now.. lol
 
I love the idea of the tree book! I may go back and do that. I have a few pictures of my grandparents and parents trees from long time ago! That would be really fun. thanks for the idea!
