So as most of you know, I've not done a lot of scrapbooking in a few years. I've been planning my pages for the retreat I'm going to this weekend. Here are just a few thoughts that have been running through my mind.
*Holy Hell! I am really far behind.
*My kids were so tiny.
*Forget everything I said about telling the story...lets just slap some pictures on a page and call it done.
*I'm never doing this again.
*Oh my God...I have planned all of these pages and I still am not near close to being caught up.
*I'm going to need so much adhesive.
But all in all, I am really glad I'm going to this retreat. I've been forced to try and catch up and plan actual pages. I know it will be worth it in the end...I think.
Have a great time! Still, don't put too much pressure on yourself to finish a ton of pages. When I get the magical "couple days of unadulterated scrapbooking time," I tend to overestimate what I will be able to get done with so. much. time. Invariably I get annoyed and am in a bad mood by the end of the weekend. Make sure you are feeling accomplished with what you were able to do, not what you think you should have done :)
