Projects.

I have a list of lists ;) As for projects, I just finished my '12 of 12' layout for April and I'm keeping up with my 365 project. I have the materials I need to do a couple of your Weekend Creative projects...I just haven't done them. ;\ I'm on the look out for some new projects, something different, like you've mentioned. I look forward to your next AEzine! :)

like you, i have too many lists in different places. lots of projects to do but not enough time. I've been wanting to make a fabric type scrapbook/journal/mixed media. i've been inspired by projects in cloth,paper, scissors and donna downey. Have fun! and I always look forward to seeing what you come up with!

ah lists. . . .the never ending! the worst is to make a list and then forget where i put it :0>!!
i took a photo a day in feb. and really enjoyed playing with my camera and then photoshop. like the idea of macro shots. . .maybe for may
thanks for always putting out new projects, goals, etc. for us

Making a little book for my sister in law's birhtday. Just completed a vacation book from last month's spring break. Should really clean up that mess! Getting ready to paint the art room. Yikes, this means organizing all my albums + stuff!
Just reread part of your lastest book over breakfast, Ali. I feel ready to tackle all this and my family stuff, and my job stuff, and the unyielding piles of paper!

I love books for recording lists - seem to have a few going on. Trying to amalgamate those books where I record my quilts made each year - almost done that project. Then have two birthday quilts to get done for mid May and then 14 scrapbooks for Brody's class at school. His teachers are amazing, and there are 2 classes of 6 kids each - the program is specifically for Autism, so I have some amazing shots to work with - and the school will bind the books for me. Then hopefully on to my scrapbook pages which I haven't been able to touch since before Christmas and also one major quilt that was started a few years ago and always gets put on the back burner while some other project is being worked on!! I am trying to get these things completed this year (at least some of them - it is very gratifying - got two old projects done just before Christmas and felt great) So somehow fit that in between working and Brody starting swimming and baseball at the end of the month - so excited for him to finally be in some community programs - we think he is ready. Time will tell.
Thanks for sharing - enjoy your Crop for Autism!!

P.S. Finished my Everyday Life book and ready to order - I will send you a link - I am so happy with how it turned out. Thanks for all your help.

I fell off the 365 wagon too after the birth of my son...I was SO determined too...phooey!

top on my list is finishing up projects such as mini albums that have been laying around half finished...actually finished up two yesterday...that felt good.

Ha! I have too many lists too. As for projects, today I want to work on a wellness album, a note to self mini-book, and, well, having a baby. =)

I am an absolute list maker. Always have been. My mom even jokes about how I did it when I was a kid. Anyway, I have a few journals as well, but I use them for different purposes {scrapbooking/design, projects, everyday, Maddie's funny sayings, etc}.
My current project has been scrapping Maddison's entire kindergarten year. I had it all organized in a binder last year, but it got too full, so I had a stack of papers on top. I decided I'd better stay on top of it, because time waits for no one!! So I did about 40 pages in 2 days, and I'm just finishing the last.
As I went, I scrapped the must-haves, and made a pile for "maybes". Now I'm going back and weeding out the stuff that is least important, and scrapping the rest of it. Such a big project, but I'm so pleased with the results. Now I'll just have to stay on top of this year {first grade} and thereafter!
Love EVERYTHING you do! :)
Last week I reorganized my scrap room, painted some shelves and put them in my space. It looks amazing, if I do say so myself! I have some pics up on my flickr, if you're interested. And I'll be putting more up soon.

Ali,
I love making lists, but not necessarily doing what's on them! I've discovered this little gem that came with Office 2007 called OneNote, it's like a list heaven on a computer. You can even do a Note file for every project you can think of and then keep adding tabs and pages everytime you come up with a new idea.
Two projects at the moment, drawing a nightingale in coloured pencil and doing an 8 x 8 scrapbook for my Dad's 70th. We have this really cool thing called scrapwear in Australia, will post a photo when I've finished.
Keep doing those lists,

Finishing up a color mini book for my little man, starting a memorial album about my uncle for my aunt, and lots of photo stuff. I want to upload to scrapbookpictures.com, back them up to my external hard drives and sort all my printed photos, ala Photo Freedom. :D

oh ali, you've inspired me so much this year! I read about the 365 project on your site right before the new year and decided i wanted to do it so for the last 108 days I've been:
taking daily photos of my son
taking daily photos of stuff around me
and I've started a year-long atc project with photos of my son from this year.
and to top it all off, with 11 other women, i started creativeTherapy so i can create freely and therapeutically every week.
it's really with all the inspiration from you so i cannot thank you enough.

Top of the list: Planting flowers outside with my two little ones ;-) We love sunshine!

I gave Project 365 a shot last year and ran out of steam in March so when you blogged about taking everyday moments I recommitted to a photo a day this year. I want to thank you for the inspiration...I started blogging so I would have somewhere to put each photo and added a paragraph of commentary. And the writing part has taken me to places I never imagined I would go. And guess what? It's April and I'm still going.
So while your project 365 may have stalled, you can be proud of providing the inspiration for so many of us getting out and getting creative every single day. Thanks again!

I want to personally thank you for suggesting the "365 project". I have only missed two days this year and it has brought a new spark to my days. Everyone emails me or asks what the POTD (photo of the day) is. My kids beg to be POTD. Thanks so much for the fun and inspiring idea.

Ok, what's on my list.... hmm, first I need to find my little list notebook! It seriously has disappeared---probably during spring break & all the extra company we've enjoyed... So, on my mental list, I need to edit the photos I took today at the Woodburn Wooden Shoe tulip gardens (go see them!! preferably when it's not raining...but even still, the color was amazing this morning!), then work on my pastel on canvas, start a 2nd one from the tulip pics (too damp to paint there this morning...), make chili tonight, finish digging out my scrap area, start scrapping again, update my daily journal, & maybe take a nap... dang nasty cold is really making it hard to cross anything off my list!

Umm, I am having back surgery on Teusday. I have a six page list of stuff to do when I recover. I have almost two months of bed rest so I am ready.
First though is to enjoy a nice long Spring walk.

hee hee- lost the list??
Been there done that- usually happens when I go to the grocery store so I come out spending double what I woulda if I had the list. Then I get home and realize as I am putting up the groceries I forgot the main thing we needed. Isn't it ironic?!
Now I keep 1 journal in my purse at ALL times. I can make list, jot down funny things that happen or my tinies say. Write or sketch idies while sitting in carline at school.
I have several that are full of great everyday tidbits of our life in my own handwriting- great for ripping out and adding to a layout.
Hey! I just thought about a great layout for a trip to the store.
Good Luck finding that book.

i am constantly writing things down that i would like to get accomplished. big things that i would like to do in the next few years or things as small as putting away dishes.
your comment about having more then 1 notebook for lists and wish u had only 1.... on Scrap In Style is having a "Sisiversary" in June. One of the fashionistas has a class that shows u how to make a notebook just for that. If u are on SIStv her name is Ashley Wren...very cool person!

i just completed a found scrapbook. i went out of town for the weekend and took only my adhesive, scissors, and fave journaling pen and came home with a mini book of someone very special...grandma (for my two year old daughter). on my list...take pics of this book and post on my blog. also, created "found" typography with sidewalk chalk. have yet to post that one as well:)
