guys, i finally actually started my scrapbook/photo album today. WOOHOO!!!
that shit is hard.
i made two pages - well, technically neither of them are finished, but more on that later. anyway: page the first, a field trip in middle school, took an hour, partly because i went to slide the finished page in at the end only to discover that the page sleeves may be 12" wide, but that doesn't mean they comfortably fit a 12" piece of paper. i had to take the first one half-way apart and trim it down to 11.75". and then the second page, some high school photos, only took me about 40 minutes to do, because i was prepared that time!
and actually neither of them are DONE done, because i didn't put any title/captions/narrative on the pages. i don't have any alphabet stickers OR any nice markers to make text with. so i still have to go back and add that to both of them.
i still have a metric ass-ton of photos to go through from high school and early college - not counting the ones on facebook, which i started using about freshman year in place of hard-copy prints. also not counting all our wedding photos and memorabilia that i kept.
i think my motto from now on is "at least one a day". this feels distinctly like nanowrimo.
