Day 18 - September 1st

Hard to believe it is September with 90 degree weather.  But the pool is now closed and Halloween AND Christmas decorations are out along with school supplies, so it must be September.

Still haven't bought anything.  Feels kind of "empty". Kind of "lighter".  I don't have a single Archivers or Michaels plastic bag on the dining room table.  Don't have any 12x12 paper in the living room waiting to be invited into the studio to be put away.  It's all done. Hmmm. So I guess I'll have to make stuff.  I certainly have enough projects pending. 

Current list:  CKU (Creating Keepsakes University) from 2002, 2003 and 2006 - all going in one 6x6 album noted as CKU-Utah.

                   Italy trip. Half completed. I think I know what is holding me up there. I want to add more photos but didn't because I thought it would be too big.  Too bad! My book - if you don't want to look at all 997 photos... pick another album. (Not everyone reads the encyclopedia either - but they are there if you want to.) 

                    "Photo a Day Project" - or, for me, "A Photo Every Other Day... Maybe every two days... Maybe need to fill the week with one Event photo a Day".  I started out strong, but having taking pictures of every shoe, appliance, and room in my house - I'm out of ideas.
As of this writing, I'm only up to June 15 getting photos in the book.

                 And I have a new on line class starting; "Tell Your Story", which helps you organize your stories to go with your pictures. For a scrapbooker, I would be considered a big journaler.  I write a lot and like to keep the stories with the photos.  Class starts Friday.
(Note:  This class was "Grandfathered" in prior to my abstinence of no shopping. And would this be considered educational and allowable under the "I'm Not Buying Anything For a Year" clause?" )
