my 2012 OLW + J's Pre-K layout

Hi all!

Well, I finally got a chance to sit and scrap - well, DIGITAL, that is! You know, with working full time and being a mom & wife full time, any extra time I have is precious. Whether it's creating or creating blog posts or commenting on blogs, etc., I really need to keep myself focused, develop a daily to-do list and always have a plan (and a back-up one too should things go awry!).

So, I've decided to incorporate and take on a word for my "One Little Word" endeavor this year:

Organize.

Super simple, but to me, it speaks volumes. Organization is not only about containers and shelves, it an action plan. And I'm going to tackle it head-on.

When I was younger, I had my books in a bookcase. I collected stickers and all of my stickers were kept in albums so I could look at them every day. I kept all letters written to me in a little red, plastic luggage that used to hold art supplies.  I've always been a fan of office supplies. I kept each school subject in its own binder with its own dividers. I was SUPER organized. It's a HUGE Virgo trait... and one that I've lost since becoming a mom.

But I'm determined to get back on track and re-organize every aspect of my household. The areas in need of serious TLC? The kitchen, the garage, the laundry room, the master bedroom retreat, and my craft room.

And to demonstrate accountability, I'm going to post pics and write about my progress from time to time.

So anyway, on to the digi page I created...

(For blogging purposes, I've omitted the name of his school and the city where it is...)

I had the urge to scrap the other day and I didn't know where to start. I've been trying to tackle Project Life, but I wanted to do something else. My scrap room overwhelmed me and playing with paper didn't seem to interest me - Sometimes by having TOO much stuff, I get overhelmed and uninterested.

So late at night last week, I thought that I would work on another page for J's School Album. This is a layout that will be the title to the next part of his school adventures. It'll go along with the preschool layout I made last year.

I seriously can't believe how big he's getting and in a little more than two weeks I'll have a 5 year old. My baby is growing up!

Thanks so much for visiting me today. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend! :)
