This year I also decided to choose a Focus word for the year
My Word is - . . . . . . . . wait for it!!
DO
Why do - because I just need to do things - not procrastinate, not wait till I have the right stuff, not wait till I have energy, etc. You get the point - right?
I just need to DO.
So here goes-
I am Doing the 52-weeks to simplify your life over at Home Life Simplified. Check it out and see if you are interested? I am excited about it!
Our Week One challenge was to create a list of everything that went right in 2011.
This whole blogging this is new and I am not really comfortable writing So . . .I opted to stay in my comfort zone and scrap a page (a kinda knock down bottle with one stone effect - do the challenge and get some pages done!!)
After posting a Previewing I have decided I should probably list my journaling - so you in blog-land could enjoy.
- The girl graduated from High School and a family and friends joined in celebration for her.
- The boy graduated from 8th grade and is now a High School young man.
- Niece Ali and Corey united in marriage in June - it was a dream wedding - the family had all the classic cars together to drive the bridal party around.
- Niece Jenny and Jon got married the next day on the shores of Lake Superior - we accompanied my dad and had a wonderful time - It was so beautiful!
- At this time we also got to explore some of the North Shore sites while we were up there.
- We camped at the racetrack about 40 nites this race season and had very enjoyable weather for all of it.
- Friends Amber and Jeremy got married in July. All I can say is - A great time had by all!!
- The girl became a Jackrabbit and is now a college student living the dorm life.
- The boy and My man both place in points for the drag racing season - I am so very proud of them.
- We also managed to spend some time at my fathers cabin just enjoying up-north peaceful scenery.
Granted this is not a complete list - we had a great year and I believe in finding the positive in everything - so alot was right and good in 2011.
So I say Good-bye 2011 and Hello 2012 -

Your scrapbook page is beautiful - it has inspired me to pull out my supplies and get back into it :)
ReplyDeleteIf i can keep up with this I should have 52 pages by the end of the year!! At any rate I have more than I had done yesterday!! Join me.
DeleteGreat post, I reaally like the scrapbooking, What a fantastic way to remember a fun year. :)
ReplyDeleteYay - exactly what i had in mind when i said do it your way. i knew there would be scrappers amongst the group and hoped some one would do a visual record of their year! I am so excited to follow along. I am not a scrapper but am visual....Loved your list as well - i cannot even imagine my kids going to college yet - such an amazing time for you as your kids are in high school and college now!
