LOM Milestone

I just finished uploading, tagging, rating, and archiving all of my photos from 2009.  It feels awesome.  That was by far the biggest piece of this project and it feels wonderful to be able to check it off my list.  I plan to alternate years until they are all done.  2001 and earlier.  Check.  2003.  Check.  Next up is 2008 followed by 2002.  2007 will follow that and then 2005.  I am going to wrap up my Library of Memories organization with 2006 pictures and make a wedding photo book.  

First photo book

I created my first photo book this month.  Using 29 scrapbook pages I have now documented a good portion of our holiday memories from 2009.  I am so proud of myself.  I can't believe I'm actually a really real scrapbooker.  Go me!

2010 layout goal:  create 100 pages; get at least half of them printed and put them in an album.

2010 album goal: select and print digital pictures from the last 5 years worth of files.  Put all pictures (new and existing) into an album.

My word for 2010: Create

Tying in to the  the popular project of scrapper, Ali Edwards, I have selected a word for this new year.  It's probably about as close to an annual resolution as I'm going to get but its purpose is strong and its life just beginning.

I am excited to see how many ways I can incorporate this word--create-- into my life.   In 2009 I unburied my inner crafter and gave her permission to do as she pleases. In 2008 I unburied my inner writer and gave her permission to do the same.  In 2007 my sweet inner chef flexed her culinary muscles and each of these women will gather together to CREATE 2010.  I am hoping 2010 is also my year to create a new little life but even if the year only sees the creation of a newer, better me, I will still consider it a success.
