Creative Memories storage.. ahhh it's a good thing
So awhile ago I purchased the large carryall bag and the large photo sorter box. It took me awhile to work up the courage to begin putting it together and organizing it all into the bag and box. I'm still sorting photo's but the bag is all set. Now if I ever want to crop outside of home I can take it all with ease! I crop on a semi regular basis but just don't share it all here because by the time I remember to take a photo of a layout I've done I've already got it back in the album and eh.. it's more fun to see it standing alone I think. Anyway, I am finishing up my wedding album, Jessica's first year album and am going to begin the daunting task of a through the years album for both girls, a military service album for Steve and a travel album to document all our travels.
I know , you are thinking "What the hell is she thinking starting so many different albums at one time?" But it is easier for me to have several projects to work on because I may not be in the mood to do one but would like to do the other lol It's the ADD in me.
Now that I've organized the boxes that were in my room (that doesn't include baskets of photo's or the boxes in the attic heehee don't worry they are protected up there in the attic) It's on to another daunting task.. laying out a new flower bed for my side yard. My bartlett pear tree we put in last year is getting large enough that it will soon disguise the unsightly satalite dish. So now I want to put in a flower bed around the tree since it's on a slope and has a lot of wash off issues. This way we preserve the area and make it look pretty too. In the back I'm putting in a flower bed around another tree that has issues with grass growing around it lol
It's been very satisfying these past two years making this yard ours and knowing we put a lot of sweat and sometimes tears into it . I look out and know I helped do this, helped create some beauty on earth. I like that, but then again digging in the dirt has always been soothing for me. There is something so primal and pure about smelling freshly dug up earth and knowing that you are creating something in it.
I'm off to shower and head to the local flower gardens... Happy diggin or relaxin this weekend!

Oh, my. That sounds like a wonderful weekend indeed. Have fun.
I have several albums in the works as well. Works better for me too. That's great that you are getting some layouts done and how fun to go to crops!!
Have a great day!!
Sounds great! Have a wonderful weekend!
I love playing in the dirt. It is very soothing, and seeing everything bloom and grow, that's a joy too. Have a great weekend.
Love-Snow
Have fun!! I can't wait to get started here.
Can I come crop at your house? I know what you mean about several projects at once. I'm that way. I just need motivation and company to do mine.
