Happy New Year!

It is that time of year again. Time to wipe the slate clean and make a fresh start. Lots of resolutions of starting and stopping...stop spending, stop eating, start exercising, etc., etc.

One of my resolutions is to spend more time doing what I love...scrapbooking. In an effort to organize my craft room and get that clean slate we are always chasing, I am starting with unfinished projects. I have many, many pages I have put together at crops, but have never added the journaling or put the 'finishing touches' on, and therefore they have not been added to albums. So...here I go, no more 'loose leaf' pages. Day One; Layout One.

A Long Time Coming...

Yesterday was a good day. I scrapbooked with my friend Trina, for the first time in many, many months. I wasn't sure I even had a creative thought left inside me, but I gave it a shot, trying to get back into what I love so much.

I started with my trip to the St. Louis Museum of History and Zoo. I'm starting a bit simple, because...well, 1) there's a lot of photos to get through, 2) this is my first 8 1/2 x 11 album, and 3) easing back in, trying to find where my creativity went.

There wasn't a whole lot accomplished, but there was some good chatting and catching up for sure! Here's a look at the few (simple) pages I did finish.
