Okay. New year. I am back in action.

Borrowing Nancy's template:

General Scrapping:
Pages: 200-ish
Cards: Actually get Christmas cards out this year. Haven't for the last 2 years and it makes me sad
Swaps: None. I really need to get back to scrapping.

My real focus this year is just making time to scrapbook. So, while I would like to get 200 pages done this year, it's not crucial. Instead, I have decided to spend at least one day a month kitting pages, and at least two days putting pages together. Hopefully this will lead to a more productive me.

Projects to finish:
Master bedroom, maybe.
Assorted odds and ends in the craft room
Entryway decor. It's so blah...
Get caught up on printing and sorting pictures. DH just dumped the camera for the first time since July, so I have 1500 pics just waiting to be edited and printed.


Albums I am Working on:
Alaska. Still...
Wedding gift for DH's BFF (March)
Wedding gift for one of my friends (October)

Organizing:
Yes. Tons of it. There is a fairly decent chance we will be moving in March or April and I refuse to be more overwhelmed than necessary.
First on the list though is the scrapbook room. I need to go through my stash and really purge.

Shopping:
Extremely limited. We are stash shopping this year!
Adhesives and solid cardstock is fine, but no patterned paper
I am giving myself a small caveat though. I can have one exception every 6 months. Because it is innevitable that the collection of my dreams will come out this year.

Personal:
Move more is the goal.
Keep in better contact with long distance friends. I've been terrible lately.
Keep on top of clutter.

I wish everyone luck on their goals this year!
