Nan--just saw on Becky's blog that she's starting project 365 tomorrow (although the kit goes on sale on 1/1) because it shows 1 week at a time and tomorrow is the first day of the week that goes into the new year.
I'm going to start tomorrow.

Anyone else thinking about this?? Anyone know what I'm talking about?

oops, she's starting TODAY! Today is Sunday. I know what day it is. I just forgot for a sec, LOL! Sorry!

I haven't seen her blog- what is this project?

it's taking a pic a day for 365 days...to capture every day life...and the kit has a ton of stuff...
The blog has really good descriptions as well as little video clips of Becky showing you what's included in the kit and how to use it. (there are a few entries from this week...just scroll down a bit).

Ok, I just watched the Becky Higgins' blog, and I am ridiculously excited! I went into the living room to tell DH about it, and he loves the idea, too!! I've never ordered anything from there before. When on January 1st does it become available? I'm thinking I can ring in the new year and order it!!

 

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

yay!! I don't know what time yet...I'm going to keep checking the blog to see, otherwise I'll be on there right after I say "Happy New Year" to everyone! This just seems so do-able, ya know?? And I feel like I just scrap major events and not all the little stuff that I know I will want to remember (and I'll want the KIDS to remember!). I'm trying to decide if I just want one for me or if I should get one for dd10...

SIOH, want me to take this to a separate thread? I didn't mean to hijack, but I guess I did a little...!

Becky Higgins' new project sounds amazing!! I think I'll jump on the bandwagon. I have yet to watch the video that shows the contents of the kit but do you think this is do-able without buying the kit?? I don't think DFiance would be very pleased if I brought home more craft stuff.

How can I get in on this awesome scrapping group? I LOVE LOVE LOVE to scrap. And I could use the help and support to do more then I have actually done in 4 years.

As you will learn several of us scrap in the basement... why? that is where you find us doing the laundry...so why not scrap there too! I scrap in my laundry room... yep, between the washer and dryer and everything else I have my scrap area!!!

I almost made my goal of 120 this year (9 short) so I am setting a goal for 125 this year. We already have a trip booked for May so there will be lots of new photos there.

I want to stay current on DS's album (I'm just starting Dec so not too far behind) and then I think I will go back and scrap some older stuff.

Just to continue to be creative and get new ideas

I am joining the challenge again this year. I like have a goal to work towards, so here goes:

-complete 300 pages
-do my Niagara Falls and Nova Scotia album
-finish WDW Dec 06 album
-catch up DD's yearly album (currently at June 08...not far there)
-catch up on DD's portrait album

I wish lots of LUCK to everyone on their goals this year!!
