Sorted!

Happy new year !! I decided that I wanted to start 2012 with a fresh scrapping mind. So what does this entail? Well being up to date on all my pictures! Yes! That's me saying I wanted to have scrapped all my pictures from the past. Well I kinda have! I have been cheating slightly though! I've been using the AC divided page protectors to do mini layouts on pictures I want to keep but knew didn't need a whole layout. So with a lot of perseverance I got there. The reason, I don't want to feel weighed down by 'having' to scrap occasions etc. it's a self inflicted pressure. But I wanted it away. It's gone! Yes there are a million images on my pc that I have not scrapped, there are puck urea I live that remain un scrapped, but each detail, each milestone, each occasion has been lovingly documented & I am ready for the new way. What is this way? Project Life! Indeed it is! I hope to keep up, I am sure I will. I want to get it all in, & I think this is the way! I adored document 2011. More on that in another post. So ur seemed perfect to do something similar again. I bought PL from a uks member. It's a few years old but pristine & awesome! So I'll be sharing weekly just how far I am going with PL I'm excited. Fact! So to ensure I was totally ready to move on I sorted all if Bella's layouts into a systematic form, rather than just places in an album when finished & where there is space. They are now in date order. This was my pile. I tool them all out of the albums they were in.


Sorted them into . Right pile positive test to 1st birthday. Middle pile 1-2 years. Left pile 2+ Then these went into month order. I didn't take a picture if the millions of piles! Doh!! They then went into these albums with space left in them for title pages for each month should I wish to do them.


Look how neat they all are! I am super pleased. They are now upstairs in a cupboard giving me more space in my expedit for current projects. But still accessible for looking at. Adding to (if I went crazy!!!) So there you have it. What are your plans for 2012 & scrapping?? I'd love to know!! Ttfn Sally xxx

That just great. Great idea to put everything into piles before adding to albums - makes its a lot easier. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing your PL 2012.

Happy new year to you and yours Sally.

Doesn't it feel good to get organised like that? I spent some time yesterday sorting through some unfinished projects - checking I had the right photos and ordering more and putting them into seperarate 'to scrap' piles. It feels much better now!

Have fun with PL - cant wait to see it :)
