Happy New Year everyone! And happy scrapping!

[MazdaUK]

[Arizona Rita]

The song from Peter Pan is in my head...."We're following the leader, the leader.."! Excellent pattern to follow though Rebecca!

General Swapping
One page per day, but must include some type of journaling on it.
Possibly 3 swaps, Color, Dland, MAW if there is one. I too have too many things Im not getting to use.

Projects to Finish
Baltic Sea Cruise!
It will 2 years this year and its time to wrap this up. 4 sections to go.
I really need to just concentrate on getting this done.

Albums Im working On
Norway, almost done
Sweden, have started kitting and about half done
DLP, have not even ordered photos yet
England, have not even ordered photos yet

Organizing
There must be a way to make this room more functional. Has good furniture and a new paint job, done while we were in Hawaii. But somehow functional isnt happening.

Shopping
I was able to buy albums to get my pages caught up, paper stacks on clearance and have enough embellies that I should be good.
I will need solids and adhesives and that should be it. Lets see how long that lasts.

Personal
I need to lose 20lbs. I am going to cruise again in 2013 in the Caribbean so I need to do something.
Work as much as possible
Make more time for DH, DD and DS and prepare myself and him for going to college.

I think thats it.
Good luck eveyone!
