Long Time No Post

It has been a while since I last posted. But that's okay... many things have come about and I find myself of late, been not really interested in getting online. And that's okay too. It means I'm working on my house and my projects and working and other such real life stuff.

Still, an update on my 12 Projects in 12 months is definitely warranted! I have switched around the order somewhat as some projects have moved forward and others have fallen back.

January - Sleeping Baby Scrapbook

Not much needs to be said on this one because I've posted about it before.

February - ATC Display Book

Same as above, although I definitely need to update it since I have received more ATCs.

March - Baby Bingo Scrapbook

A HUGE success. I did it in one day at a scrapping workshop and it turned out wonderfully with each page themed according to the color of the background paper. My sister-in-law loved it and was glad to receive an album she didn't have to do herself.

April - Apolo Ohno Fanbook

What was originally going to be a page in an art journal, turned into a dare and a full fledged fanbook. One of the most brilliant pieces of artwork I have ever done. I am so impressed.

May - Err...

To be honest, I moved house in April and so much of the latter half of the month and much of May were taken up with getting things moved and situated. So no new projects were completed. However, I did start my 2011 calender and I have been powersorting through old stuff to be tossed, scrapbooked, or journaled. This has included the baby book stuff, old mementos, cards, letters, and old journals. I have also been working on swap journals, which I am beginning to hate. I have a set that was nothing like I expected that is turning into more of a chore than fun. I am almost done with the first of two and this will be the last time I have to work on them. Another week and they will be done. Which is fine because in 24 hours it will be June. And then I can claim Swap Journals for May.

June - Baby Book/Journaling Update

I keep saying I'm going to update my daughters baby book. June is her birthday month and thus I should get it done. I will also be able to add her 3rd birthday to her baby book too. I have also decided to do a 8.5 x 11 scrapbook for her. It will not be a traditional scrapbook, but it will have mementos and some journaling in it. I expect that once I get to sit down and do it, it'll take me about 48 hours. In addition, I have started going through old journals from High School and College. Within those journals are mementos and scraps of paper that I am going to glue into the pages of the last one I wrote in which is only half full. Excited about this! I also have two pagan journals that need to be updated, but that is secondary to the older journals. Then I also hope to finish the 2011 calender, but not essential, got plenty of time for that.

Basically, what it all comes down to is that I don't want to let this year go by without getting things that have been on my mind done.

And I am utilizing much of my down time at work for lots of project work.

Having power sorted most of the upcoming journals and books, it means I can grab a project and work on it. More updates as things get done.
