I am finally caught up!!!

[Timon]

I just finished catching up on my chronological album!!! I have been working on this for SO long now, it feels so good to be caught up finally!!!

You know what this means???? I get to start my WDW 2003 and Explorer of the Seas Cruise Albums!!!! Woooo!

I still have one layout that I would like to do (the birth of our niece, Shyra) but I am waiting on my sister in law to get some photos for me as I don't have the ones I want.

If you wanna check out my finished layouts:

For those of you who have seen most of them already, I have a new layout in 2002 that I just finished. I forgot I had my 30th birthday pictures put away separately, so I found them and did a layout. It's the second layout in 2002.


A special thanks to all of you who posted their layouts in the past few months! It really got me motivated to get mine done!

That's just not right...no one should ever be caught up.....not fair at all! I dream of that day!
My only goal with scrap booking...my kids school books need to be caught up before the next school year and same with their sports/activities...the rest is just a dream to be finished!
Great Job!

You GO Cass! I am almost done with 2003 as well. I started on the Christmas pandamonium.....I'm not quite to Christmas Eve yet....probably about 6-8 more layouts and I will be done...onto 2004! Loved your work and I can't wait to see your Disney Cruise layouts!

Spinning,

Hey, it's MUCH easier for me cus I don't have kids! No kids gives me WAY more time than those of you who have kids AND with kids, there's so much more to scrap!!! I am almost scared about how much scrapping I am gonna have to do when we have a baby!!

Alice28,

Woo hoo! Go Alice28!! You are almost there too! I am looking forward to scrapping my cruise, but unfortunately, it's not a DISNEY cruise It was on the RCCL Explorer of the Seas. But still I am looking forward to doing some of the pages for sure!!!

Hmm...still working on that second Disney Cruise...

How does someone get caught up?

I feel good when I get a specific bit "caught up", although of course it never stays there for long.

Right now I am TRYING to get my 2003 DCL cruise done, then I absolutely MUST catch up DS's Boy Scout album. He only has 1 badge to finish and will be ready to submit his paperwork to all the appropraite authorities for his Eagle and it is tradition in his troop for Mom to prepare a display. Since many of us scrap guess what that display is?!

Of course DD's Girl Scout album needs catching up too.

Then I have the organizer files filled (filling) with stuff (and the photos are in regular sleeve albums waiting) to start High School book for DS (he is a sophomore this year) and DD's Middle School book (she starts HS next year).

I am not even TRYING to start from birth on them. I didn't start scrapping seriously until about 4 years ago and then it was trips first, and the albums noted above. My plan is to start with current school set, then backtrack to the next set (ie: finish high school for DS, backtrack to middle school, backtrack to elementary school, backtrack to birth to school start). I even have a color coded plan for the albums. Of course then there are all of the family photos that should be done, I want to redo the albums my mom put together for me during all of our wedding festivities (I have a plan for that too!)

Guess what I really need is oh...about a solid TWO years doing nothing but scrapping and then maybe, just maybe I'd get caught up!

Oh well, guess we can only do what we can do. But good for you Timon!

I gotta agree with Spinning! Congrats to you!! Somedays I think I will never know that feeling. I am currently working on my family book. Then, there is 4 disney trips to do.
I can say DS book is up to date, which is great! DD does her own so I don't have to worry about that. I just haven't had the itch to do it lately...don't know why. Hopefully the bug will strike again soon!!!!

Well that's just sick ! (lol) Cass that is so great , but I just can't imagine that ever happeining to me. And my children are grown and I am at home all day and have the time to work on them. My problem is that I take forever trying to decide on how to put my pages together.

Luckily I started scrapping the year I got married (1995)...I was already really into it when DS1 came along, so I pretty much have always been caught up....I know, sick. I guess I just lucked out on scrapping becoming "in" and having my kids around the same time, and already being a crafty kinda gal, it just worked out.

Woohoo! I can't wait to see your trip layouts.... I love how you did the journaling on Shyra's first birthday page. I love how the torn paper looks again the layout.

Oh, and I'll never be caught up but that's okay. I started scrapbooking 1 1/2 years ago and my oldest dd was already 5 and my youngest was 1 1/2. So, I am a little behind. The only advantage I had since, I didn't know about scrapbooking I really didn't take as many pictures as I do now. So, hopefully, I'll have less to scrap if that makes sense. NOw, I take a picture of everything now especially since, I have gone digital.
