But I have been doing some creative stuff, mostly some mini albums inspired by Monika Wright. The first is a mini I made for my hubby for our anniversary.
Okay, our anniversary was back in January, but I had the darnedest time getting some of those photos off my computer. Turns out my uber efficient husband has backed up a bunch of the older photos and removed the actual files from my computer (though the thumbnails are still there) so I had to wait until after giving him the unfinished album to find out how to get to those files.
Then I decided to get to work on a mini the describes the Christmas ornaments we have. We get a new one each year that describes something we've done that year. Above is a star for when Liam was born and a gingerbread house for our new house.
I also started a journal designed to help me recommit to my weight loss goals. I've been a member since 2008, taking a break while I was pregnant with Liam of course. But since Liam's birth, more than a year ago, I've lost a whopping 10 pounds. As it is right now, I was basically just flushing that $40 down the toilet each month, so I decided that if I switched to writing about things I'm thinking and feeling rather than eating, that would help in two ways. 1) It would keep me busy doing something other than eating my feelings, and 2) Maybe if I stop to actually think about those feelings, I can learn to understand what is going inside me.
My final project is Liam's first year album. Just like with Noah's first year album, I am WAY behind in this (Liam is 16 months now.) So this past weekend I just plowed right through it. Thankfully I had done a really good job of organizing my photos and collecting stuff for the album, and just had to put everything together. I'll post photos when it's all done.
