So much I want to do as always... I have been paper scrapping my life since my husband died in 1997...the years are flying by and I am only up to 1984, and that has sat on a table in my living room since a crop last March!!! I really thought I would get to it, if it was in my face every day, but I am so addicted to
Digital that I just can't bring myself to sit down and paper scrap... even though I have so many supplies I could start my own store... I also have to do, for myself, the years between High School Graduation and someplace in the 1970s??? I have done albums for my 3 children each starting from the day they were born through their H.S. graduation... except for the youngest... still have a few years to go on his... but in the beginning I took photos out of the albums copied , and then returned to the album so they were not done for me...so all of those need to be done also... I realized the other day I should just give up the thought process of using the original photos and scan them and get to work on doing digital albums... someplace where I want to be... so perhaps that is what I will do... Also need to get back to the Genealogy end of things...need to at least get the things down that I know... I have a few pages done, some paper , and some digital... again, I planned to use the original photos and memorabilia, but now thinking scanning might be the answer... it is just that the thought process was to have a place where all the original things were stored......Makes me tired just thinking about it all...!

Update... since I wrote this last week at the beginning of this challenge I have learned about a special scanner that just scans snapshots and very quickly...there is a separate one for negatives and slides...anyway called the Wolverine, I think this may be the answer... will be so much faster than scanning with the flatbed... So I think I have a game plan...

Wish me luck...

The beautiful Christmas Cactus blooms like this every year...although usually in January not Dec... Had to include it someplace!

I started with a base of Anna's template AASPN_ArtPlayPaletteSeaLife_ArtStroke3 but ended up tweaking and deleting and duplicaating etc, to the point that in the end all I used of it were its parts...
