Ta da!!!

Melissa says:

Here's October all squared away with Novemeber hot on it's tail. I guess Jill might be onto something. Though I often find that sometimes a project can be a great distraction at the best time.

One less and counting.....

Melissa says:

It's been only a matter of hours and I have managed to get all of my journalling caught up for everything and finish October. Here it is as I get started on Novemeber.

October, November and December in unison...

Melissa says:
Right now I deserve a good ribbing as I really feel like I've dropped the ball on my Lifescrap album. With only a matter of weeks left to go, I've pulled myself out of the slump and have cracked the whip overhead. For the past few days, I have been finalising the title pages for all 3 months at once, embellishing pages, printing photo's like a demon and putting it all together. Tomorrow is all about typing up my journalling notes and that should make a huge dent in the pile gathering on my workspace. Jill always says I work best under pressure. I always laugh. But lets test the theory anyway. Watch this space... I'm really close to achieving the triple threat.

Where Lifescrap Takes Me

Jill says:

Thanks to a fantastic scrapping retreat, organised by http://www.scrapbookingwarehouse.com.au , I have pumped out two pages today. Only single layouts, admittedly. Two more than I have done on any other given day in November prior to the retreat. I thought I would post this one as I wanted to share how the photos of Lifescrap365 are proving to be very special memories. Originally, this photo was simply to record the day. It now is a record of my and my son's lengthy desire to plant sunflowers and it is also a record of that day when I really needed a pick me up and looked out into the garder and there was this little ray of sunshine shining back at me. Your photos don't always have to be of people or places to record your journey. Something as simple as a flower can be utilised to record passions, moments in time, thoughts, feelings, etc.

As I had been very busy and hadn't checked in with the blog for a while, I looked in today to check out Mel's October Lifescrap365. Sadly, it wasn't here. A quick text message to check if everything was ok uncovered a busy time for a lady who scraps for a living and is at present pumping out the pages with another goal in mind. She says she might have it up by December 31....Can you wait that long? I know I can't. Come on, Mel. Maybe just do half of what you usually do. It wouldn't matter what you did, I know I would be in awe of it.

Too Many Photos Again

Jill says:
Another bumper month as far as photos goes. It was a busy month in our life and this time, the photos represented that. Sometimes I get busy and am not motivated to take photos or the things we do don't lend themselves to photo opportunities. October certainly didn't fall into that category. And November is shaping up to be excellent for photo opportunities as well! Have a fantastic month.
