I am going to go CRAZy! I finally bought my supplies, Amazon shipped the wrong page protectors, I got the right ones, and now, now, my printer is going to send me over the edge.

I got some prints from Target, but there are a couple things I want to print at home, especially since I can only print 4x6 online. I suppose I can get around that, but this whole printer thing is gonna make me batty!!

3 weeks behind, I don't think this is going to happen for me :( Someone keep me motivated! :helpy
 
I feel your pain! I have a rubbish printer too, it's fine for journalling cards but I have yet to get a good photo printed on it so I have resigned myself to the fact that I will be printing online. (I also have no page protectors and no core kit - they are not available here yet).

But, you CAN do this!!! You could just start with the current week and get going with it, you can always go back later on and fill in the earlier weeks. I think it's easier to get going with more recent stories and if you have less pressure to getting 'caught up'. Once you have a system that works for you, it should be easier to go back and do the first few weeks. This is what I am telling myself anyway! :giggle
 
Don't give up! Fill in the parts you can now (journaling?), then catch up with the rest of the stuff once you figure out your printer!
 
I agree with Cristina! Do what you can and fill the rest in later. You can catch back up! Heck, I'm still considering STARTING. :giggle

SWEETIE!!!! You can do it!!! What printer do you have? Were you considering the selphy for photos? Its so easy and simple and compact I LOVE it!!! I have heard http://persnicketyprints.com/ is now doing 3x3 and 2x2 prints that may help too? Otherwise you could always make collages and print them through a local 1 hour place.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! :)

If nothing else lets get together and get caught up! I am going to a crop in vacaville Feb 25th 10 am - 10 pm want to join?? Its only $25 and you can hop in my car!!!
 
Well, I got week one done, other than a 4x6 January Month card and I got week 2 laid out and should be able to finish it up tonight. Whoot!

Shanna, I was thinking of getting the Epson Artisan, I thought about the Selphy, but I need something for basic everyday printing too and I think Joel will kill me if I buy two new printers, haha!! I'll have to check out persickety and see if it's any better than Target. I'll just have to layout my pages before I order prints to make sure everything fits. I should be doing that anyway.

Okay, and the crop, holy cow that sounds fun!! I'll talk to Joel and see if he'll let me. That would be crazy fun!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!!

I think that Kate's suggestion is perfect! If you start with the new week (or current week, wherever you're at) it will be less overwhelming and you won't feel like you always have to catch up! You can do it! :)
