I've decided to give my 'list' a permanent home here on my blog -- that way I can cross things off as I complete them, and add to it as I want. Most imporantly, this way I won't lose it. So, in no particular order.......
- Make a 'We Are' Photo Book or Scrapbook like this one by Angie Pederson
- Make an 'About Me' layout that lists 35 things about me (obviously) at 35.
- Make an layout about what life is like today -- prices, fashions, maybe what's hot and what's not.
- Make a layout similar to #3, but looking back at the year I was born.
- Organize more of my photos into pocket style albums for easy access. I started a while back but need to get back to it.
- Scrapbook more about myself! Like so many scrapbookers, I tend to focus on scrapbooking my children, my family, but have few, if any pages dedicated to just me.
- Cut some wall words for my family room. (I've actually just ordered the vinyl so this should be moving to the top of the list soon.)
- Move my photos from the computer I use everyday to my media machine and save them to the external hard drive for backup. {This is soooo important, and I should really commit to doing it more frequently. I would be heartbroken if I lost a lot of the pics that I've taken and haven't even printed yet.}
- Organize my kids reports cards, certificates, work samples etc. into binders of some sort. My sister has this incredible system for housing all of this important info -- and me, well the stuff is kind of everywhere and needs to be centralized.
- Experiment more with digi-scrapping. I've said before that I believe I would miss the tactile nature of the paper-based form and I still believe this to be true although the more I see digital art, the more intrigued I am with experimenting myself.
- Work through this list of 174 ideas for scrapbook layouts and see how many of them I am able to complete. (Thanks April for giving me this link).
- Make more of the 3x3 gift card and box sets to have on hand when I need a little something for someone.
- Family portrait.
- Donate more cards to the my grandfather's retirement home in the fall (and include some holiday cards!)
