Makin' a list...

... and checkin' it twice...

I've started thinking about the layouts that I need to get done this weekend. Wow! Talk about overwhelming!! Right now I'm uploading oodles of pictures to Costco so I'll actually have pictures to work with. Now that Ellie's 15 months old, I really should get her 1st year stuff done, but even that I'm way behind on. It will take a whole weekend just to compile my to-do list!!

Boy am I glad I have a blog, though! Basically that is my layout planner. I know which photos I want to use and more or less what journaling to go with them, plus I know when those things happened. So blogging is my scrapbooking lifesaver! Right before Ellie was born I made a ginormous list and worked through that to get caught up in the weeks leading up to her birth. That was a while ago. Time to start up the list again...

(in no particular order - and I'll be adding to it as I remember new pages that need to be done)

oof you are *SO* organized...i think your "martha" is more than INNER, my dear!!! :) can't wait to see the LO's as they are completed, as well, the titles are terrific! & since those are the hardest part, imo, you're SET!

ps: sorry, but i thought of something and i really REALLY hope you will not be offended by my mentioning it: depending on the exact nature of the LO, "sleeping in heavenly peace" *might* have a subtext you don't intend. which is to say...ummm...i would be thinking the "sleeper" is...ummm...well...deceased. sorry! i just thought i would tell you that, just in case it's NOT what you mean! (sorry--please do feel free to delete this!)

Ha ha, Lauren! I had not thought about that! I don't think I'll change it, though... it's a reference to the carol "Silent Night" and goes with a picture of my dd sleeping in my mother's arms with the lit up Christmas tree in the background... I might include the rest of the lyrics in smaller print around the larger title, though!
