Blog Contest Question #7

Do you scrapbook in order (cronologically) or willynilly?

I am a willy nilly (lol sorry, I *heart* that word!) scrapper. I can not scrap in order. I get bored easily, so I jump from one thing to another all the time.

Currently, I am finishing up Ireland, working on my cruise book and doing pages for my niece Keely's book (which I will have ONE YEAR photos soon! I cant believe she was one on Jan 24!!!). Of course there are always DT projects, store layout ideas and class samples throughout the year as well.

I used to scrapbook in order. I would work on an annual album until it was completed. Now, I work on three albums at the same time and sometimes will do a layout for a friend.

Chronological is very hard -although now that I am not trying I seem to be getting 1 album in chronological order.

But for the most part I do what interests me. When there is an occasion I get pictures developed right away and have to scrapbook them - I then remember everything that happened.

I have lots on the go right now - Christmas, Summer Holidays, Birthday Party and some other stuff. I find trying to keep it chronological forces you to scrapbook and you don't enjoy it as much as wanting to scrapbook a picture, moment in time or occasion.

When I first started scrapbooking it was chronological it worked very well in getting my whole life done. Now I am just willy nilly!

I am so far behind, since I only started scrapbooking 2yrs ago, and my oldest is almost 10. So my books are in order, but I jump around sometimes I feel like scrapping old pictures and sometimes new.
