see...I stink at this digi stuff! two days of work...cutting my losses.
I do love that I was given homework to go through old albums and categorize what I like and dislike. It made me realize I have waaaaay too many albums and pages and I love almost every single page. big stickers, bad photos, and not so hot handwriting.
But then, I got curious and started counting layouts as I glanced through every single one.
drum roll please...over 1460 12x12 layouts completed and in albums...
and none of them digital or hybrid.
187+ in a stack awaiting a page protector or one "final touch." OMG! I also came up with an estimate for contract layouts and projects and gifts...and ...well, it's crazy!!!
But I rationalize that I may have to divi everything up between three boys someday and did not want any of them to feel less loved. well, that's my excuse anyways. at this point they may just feel smothered in photos, adhesive, and embellishments. geez.
Gonna tackle more AE homework tonight between laundry and football...and try to work on that pile of 187. ugh.
Oh, my count would of been a few numbers higher BUT...we had quite the tragedy in my little studio last week. Actually, it was throughout our whole downstairs living area but my studio was HIT the worst. Long story short, our sweet Elly dog got hit by a car...survived -after lots of life-saving measures and medical intervention ( and $$$) had been recouperating at home confined to her little spot with all her dressings on...neglected to to put the "cone" on when I left. When I returned home I discoverd a crime scene like nothing I had ever seen...and most of it had happened in my scrapbook room. A bloody bloody mess. Mess does not even describe my room...murder scene. Haz mat crew needed. Needless the say, when the dust had settled and, the blood had already dried, and I had stopped crying and having a panic attack ( took care of Elly first) we tackled the clean up. some of that stack of layouts WERE laying open in an album on the floor. they had to be trashed. unbelievable. I was so upset. still upset. still gotta tear out all of the carpet as it is beyond saving. and now I'm also repairing a lot of layouts that got "hit." good thing I have a lot of other layouts. LOL.
