My space - My goal

After dinner is done and the kitchen is put back in place I retreat to my space. You ask yourself what space? Well, it is my little corner of the world. My scrapping space. This is the place i sit to chat with my friends on line, watch Disney movies, work on swaps, sort PIFs and create layouts to add to my many started books. I set a goal in January to complete 250 pages this year and so far i have been pluggin away at this goal, however at the rate I am going I will fall short of the goal. As I sat at the desk last night and stared into space I made a decision. As long as I am going to sit at this desk, I should be creating more layouts since the photos keep coming but the layouts are lacking. So each night that I sit at this desk, I WILL CREATE 1 PAGE layout. Well, with this decision firmly in my mind I SCRAPPED. Not one but 3 layouts! THUS taking the total number of pages needed to meet my goal down to 96! So without further ado, here is 2 of the 3 layouts.

OKAY as usual BLOGGER wont let me upload my creations ... so as soon as it does i shall!
