Scrapbooking

I got more scrapbooking pages done last wekend. A co-worker also let me borrow some of her magazines for page layout ideas. While reading one I got very excited about some of the new products they were talking about using.... that is until I looked at the date on the cover- 2002. Yea I was still in high school and doing lots of scrapbooking (at least two per year for my senior football or basketball players). But onto what I have accomplished.

Halloween 2008 (caught up now on Halloween!)

Day at the Beach 2010

 Christmas 2010

 Snow Day 2010

 I have found that I prefer Scotch adhesive rolls, and glue dots, sticker letters (because my handwritting is terrible), my photo cropper is amazing for keeping straight lines when cutting pictures, oh and I have organized and filed all of my paper and stickers by theme. What are your favorite scrapbooking supplies? Where do you find page layout ideas or good deals on supplies?

100 by 30

 With my 27th birthday coming up it was time to make another "I want to do" list. About the time I began thinking of what I may like to accomplish in the next year of my life one of the blogs I follow  (That Wife) talked about her 101 in 1001. I had never heard of it before but decided that 1001 days made sense as it gives a little more time to prep and prepare while still having a relatively short deadline. However with this being my 27th birthday there is a far more intimidating deadline looming in my future my 30th birthday. And while I am not worried or stressed about the new decade of my life that is quickly approaching, there are some things I would like to accomplish before then.
 My list (Click here to see my list) is comprised of a mixture of skills I would like to learn, challenges to push me, small things to remember to get the most out of life, and things that I have wanted but been putting off.

   Here are the details:

The Mission:  Complete 100 preset tasks between my 27th and 30th birthday.

The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks should also be both realistic and stretching.

Start Date: 9/25/2011
End Date: 9/25/2014

I will update the blog on my progress and the 100 by 30 page on the blog as I begin and complete tasks.

 What would be on your list?
