What are your scrapping plans for this last weekend of 2007?

Well, I mentioned in a previous post that I am going to an all night scrappy tomorrow night. I am also going to clean up the scrap room today and make at least one page and get stuff ready for the scrappy tomorrow. I can't wait! I did a page yesterday and I have journaling ready for a new page. Which is my new scrappy thing of end of 2007-2008, I will journal before I even touch a picture or piece of paper.

Since I have no life....

What project are you just ready to start creating now that the holidays are done?

Well, mainly I still have a Christmas gift for my mom to finish. I need to do that ASAP. I am going to an all night scrappy on the 29th and I will finish it then and also work on some pages that I have been thinking about. I really just want to do more scrapping and also begin a journal for my goals for this year and going forward. Or maybe not so much a journal maybe just an LO. I am thinking on my options there.
