Gearing up....

for the New Year.

I know that I am going to make some changes to my blog. I have actually been thinking about them for about a month now. I really want to be here more than 2 days a week on the average which is really just the weekends when I upload what I have done that weekend. So be on the lookout because I am looking to be here on average 4 days a week and I will be incorporating more than scrapping into my blog because after all, I am more than scrapping...I am a mom, wife, taxi driver for teens, a full time office worker and a woman who loves girly things but isn't girly at all anymore.

I have also been thinking about my scrapbook goals for 2010. This year my goal was 183 layouts. I hit that goal in November. This next year isn't going to be about quantity but quality. No, I am not going to spend $10 a page but I want to make my pages more meaningful - tell more of a story and not just make them cutesy to get something on paper. KWIM? Sure, I know this isn't possible with every page because not all photos require a lot of journaling.

One thing that I already know that I will be following in 2010 is Project 12. Becky Fleck will be providing a sketch monthly to get you to scrap how your month went. When you are finished for the year you have a great way to look back at all the things that went on. Because you are doing it monthly...if you are like me...you won't be struggling to remember what happened in the pic.
