Last night I scrapbooked. Today I scrapbooked. Wow, I can't believe I actually did a layout during daylight hours -- that hasn't happened in months and months. But the very fact that I scrapped two days in a row is huge. My pictures have been piling up, my desk was piling up with stuff, I wanted to scrap but I couldn't get to the bottom of the mess and too many other things were going on. Remember the clutter I spoke of a while back? Well I'm in the process of defeating it . . .there was a garage sale and now I have a few more organizational projects in the works. I'll update on those in the upcoming weeks.
Back to the point . . . I scrapped and it feels so good to get something done. A few weeks ago I attended a crop and got a major something done. I put together a mini-album to hold all of our 
christmas card pictures for each year along with a small space to jot down the happenings of the year. I love it! And all the pages are made and done so that each year I can just slap a photo in. My friends laugh at me for some of my Bree tendencies, but I am very proud to say that this album is completed out to the year 2033!
supply list: 6x6 modern album by American Crafts, patterned paper is Blitzen line by Basic Grey, {} symbols are a fontwerks stamp (george font), number stamps are PSX, word stickers are by Making Memories, rub-on on the cover is also Basic Grey.
I also just finished reading Stacy Julian's book, The Big Picture, and I feel like a brand new woman again! Stacy has this wonderful philosophy about scrapbooking that totally gives you the permission to erase all guilt about being "behind" -- to her there's no such thing. I loved the whole book and I think I'm ready to do a big shift in the way that I scrapbook. I highly, highly recommend it to anyone who is feeling in a rut, overwhelmed, or needs some direction about how and where to get started. She is so inspiring and I'm sooo excited to move forward. I'm sure I sound like a total freak, but really the book and her ideas were that good that I couldn't resist sharing. And if you want you can add another point to my Bree scorecard. =)
