So, I got caught up in all the Project Life hoopla and decided that since I had all these photos from before we had a digital camera, that this would be a great way to 'scrap' those photos, get them in an album, tell a little bit of the story. I wait until the big variety packs are in stock at Amazon and order the big variety pack 2 and some journal cards. The night it all arrived, I sat down with my box of photos and start laying out some pages and think, 'hmmmm, it seems like a lot of our photos aren't here....must be another box somewhere.' It was late, so I went to bed.

Fast forward to this afternoon, I go to the scrapbook store, find some washi tape on sale, buy a couple of 12x12 papers that are formatted to be cut out as journal cards, come home, get my stuff all laid out on the counter, cut out my journal cards, then set out to look for the 'other box'....only to discover that a couple of years ago, I apparently stuck them ALL in albums!!! and I can NOT bring myself to pull them out of albums just to stick in the Project Life plastics, I just need to go through those albums and add some notes before I forget what all of those pictures are.

Go, me! :tu

I did find some even older photos though that are not in albums, so now, they are my project! I feel like such an idiot. Obviously, the ol' brain isn't what she used to be!
 
Oh no! That is too bad. :( But at least you are stocked up for future projects, and you'll get those pesky older pics taken care of. Man, I can understand your frustration though.

hugs!
 
Haaa!! That's too funny! Don't you love it when that happens. I swear, it only gets worse as we get older. Oy! :whistle
 
LOL! That is hilarious! I guess your memory lapse is not all that bad though. ;) Go Becky! :)
 
It's a "yay" "boo" kind of thing..and something I totally could see myself doing! lol!
 
:giggle You were ahead of yourself!! I'm sure you'll put the new goodies to good use! :)

yes, this exactly. I ended up finishing up a couple of pages and I have to say I am loving it. I never thought I would like anything paper-ish. I do feel like I need more 'stuff' now though. Like tags and little arrows and embellishment type stuff.
 
You were on top of it! way to go. . . at least you have books you can look through to recall memories!
 
This sounds like something I would totally do, LOL! At least you got the original project done, yay! I love how you are using the Project Life stuff for your own purposes though. It is a great idea.
 
it must be the name becky because i totally do this kind of stuff all the time. i always seem to forget that i've done something, even though when i'm doing it i am sure it's a perfect idea that i'll never forget. *doh*
