I just got an electronic news letter from Creating Keepsakes (you can sign up to receive the newsletter here and then click on the link to sign up in the upper right corner). It had a GREAT article about not worrying about being behind on scrapping...I wanted to share it with you (this is a quoted excerpt from the newsletter...I'm sorry, I don't have a direct link or an author to attribute it to):
Here are some helpful tips to help ease the stress:
- Start with today - If you have gotten behind like most of us, don’t begin with Billy’s graduation from 1985. Start with pictures from today that are fresh off the camera and your memory. Working on current pictures helps you to feel more on top of scrapping!
- Work on one event at a time - There is nothing more overwhelming then seeing piles of pictures that have built up over the years.
- Pick your favorites - Keep in mind that you don’t have to scrap every picture. Pick your favorite ones that make the best lasting memories.
- It’s okay! - Remember, it is okay to fall behind! Don’t let it keep you from enjoying the hobby you love.

great reminders Michelle!!! I am trying to "keep the faith" that I will get to scrap when I have time and that will be good enough ... I want to continue to enjoy it! stressing about how much I have to do will not get me to where I want to be :-)
that was always my thing, I felt overwhelmed that I had so much to do! And then it was like, oh no, oh no..where do i start - hence why i would get a beer and watch all of you :-)
I am "always" behind with my scrapping....but worked on 2008 events in the last 2 albums and I agree it feels good to work on something current. Holli has a good idea also!
