I am going to challenge myself to at least a page a week. I promise that I won't buy anything until I scarp at least three pages : ). Well unless I really need it. Maybe that way I'll get with the program.

I would love to hear from more people about how they motivate themselves!

I hope to put it to good use.

Usually I tend to find poems that I think are appropriate for the pictures. But I really think it would be nice to get into journaling and write more descriptive explanantions for the pages that I scrap. I plan to start this weekend by finishing a book that I have been working on for over a year. I want to move on to other things, but I feel compelled to finish one first. Just three more pages to go. Lets see what happens this weekend.

The best investment made was a SLAB pal from Michael's. Course them Michael's and JoAnn run coupons all the time as well as the fact that they take each others coupons. Great for high priced items.

As for myself I do keep a mental checklist of items that I want or am interested in. What is nice about Ebay is that you can factor in shipping and place a limit on how high you'll go. In addition you can use strtegies to get at the best prices.

For instrance I wanted a Creative Memories Corner Rounder. I bid and watched several for sale, but let them go when they went over $5. Then I caught several ending at 5:00 in the morning and watched the bid for a while and finally won it for $.15. Granted the shippiing is about $3.50, but I still come out ahead.

Easy to get out of control, but you can get some good prices.

Some of which I definitely want to scrap and others that can simply go in a book.

Besides my own I have extended family pics from both my mom and dad. Some vintage. I wish I could take a week and do nothing but scrap, but...

I did go on a scarpping weekend and actually completed 13 pages...it was fun, relaxing and great to ideas from others...

I have lots of pictures that I would like to pull together, but never enough time. I figure if I work it long enough I will get it done. But I am not at all consistent.

I could really use some good tips on scrapbooking time management. Guess I need a game plan. I'll get there one of these days.
