Good Morning Bloggers!

It´s been cold and rainy here, not much of autumn aproaching these days.
Just the right weather to hang on the computer and get things done.

I have started to check on all my traditional Albums, Pictures,
and files of Scrapbooking and Photos on the Computer...

I did not know how to start out.
Now I do know.
I have a plan!

I first took a look through all my albums I have done so far.
I took a look at all the files that got saved, and all the finished digital
layouts I have left.

Now my plan is:
1. I have to finish an album I have once started for my mom .. its only 20 Pages
to finish, photos are here... so one more traditional Scrapbook to finish first. to get me going with this.

2. I am typing off a list with all the happenings back when till now

3. I am making a list, of whos album goes what happening to
( I have kids albums, and family album and need to start a album just for hubby and me,.. later on when i am up to date with all the already developed pictures and such, I will redo OLD albums back when i wasnt scrapbooking yet)

4. I have to decide what to do with digital Scrapbooking and what to do the traditional way

5. I will get started on my littlest ones Scrapbook and get this up to date
6. I will get on my " Hubby and me" Scrapbook, from the day we started dating to now
7. I will get at my older boys scrapbook, because I want to redo his baby album, and then fnish up what i missed till now
8. And once I am every gonna get up - to date with all this .. I will maybe redo some of the old albums ...not sure how to do that.. because that is back the times when there wasnt digital photografie, and i have it all on negatives and lots of negatives missing...

So,... does that sound like a plan?
I am feeling good about it, alltough I am still a little afraid of starting out.. but getting my moms album done, will hopefully get me in the mood ....

That´s it for today!

About my pain,... trying to come back

Good Morning, how have you been?

I am trying to be brave, and come back to scrapbooking.
My Heart is still bleeding. I have lost so many scrapkits.
Some photos where able to be rescued, but most I lost.
Now I got a new pc last winter, which has a "mirror-hard drive"
Means, everything I do will be saved twice. If one hard drive crashes
I still have one where everything was copied to.

Still it makes me nervous to get started. Still so many kits I havent used yet
And for some photos, I think of those kits I wanted to use, for some kits think of the
photos I wanted to use.
I am missing lots of them, and dont know if I will be brave to buy or freebie-download
me any anymore.

Also I had a horror even taking pictures... only the most important occassions
I had snaped... not even with passion, tough I miss taking time to walk out
and enjoy life behind the lense. I am so horrified to loose anything again.

Last horror happening to me ... and will never again:
My 9 year old turned 10, and I took him to Sea life.
Prepared with camera .... we had a great time, I shot and shot and shot.. so did he with his 1st better digital snappy....
Getting home... there were no pictures... obviously the little one had the camera and played with it, changing all kinds of settings....
So,.. only a few shots of my boys cam... but non of the pretty ones I shot of him in front of the large sea life aquarium...

So, thats been the update here...
I dont know how to go about it...
I still have tons of Traditional Scrapbook Things...
And do also like the photo books you can print online
Also love the digtal art still....

I gotta find my way through... I will see ...
Just wanted to pop in and make myself writing down, like a contract to myself.

happy scrap!
Autumn comes
