January Recap

See the list?

That’s right, folks!  I almost finished all my January To-Dos!

After:

The Verizon rebate:  I didn’t post about this, but it was kind of a pain in the butt.  An hour on the phone and I have a $100 Visa card. :)

I sent 5 garbage bags full of Adam’s clothes to my cousins for their little boys.  We have a “hand-me-back-and-forth” system going on, since there will be 5 boys under 4 between the 3 of us this spring!

I also did a presentation at work a couple of weeks ago.  It wasn’t a huge deal, but it added a little stress to the month.

The two biggest projects were the taxes/W2s, which I finally completed Thursday…

And then, the Storybooks…I am a Creative Memories consultant and hardcover storybooks were 20% off this month, so I took advantage of the sale and finished a bunch of projects I’ve been working on.  Here are a some pages from each of the Storybooks:

Anderson Christmas book was a collection of pictures of Adam throughout 2010.  It clearly wasn’t done in time for Christmas.

Chicago Storybook (from our vacation in August.)

Bob and Mary’s Heritage Album:  This was a huge undertaking, but I am so proud of it and glad that I could do it for my husband’s grandparents.  I am so blessed to be a part of this family, and this became even more clear as I worked on the album.

Did all those pictures load?  You’re still with me?

 

I also made some new storage bins, even though they weren’t on the list.

I’m formulating February’s list in my head right now, and ready to get to work!

  2. Congratulations - you have to feel so good!

    Love your scrapebook pages! I just finished my 2010 book on Shutterfly the other day and ordered it - I didn't know Creative Memories did anything like that - I will have to check it out!

  3. Wow, you accomplished a ton! Congrats! I need to find a place to post my to do list that will actually encourage me to do it, apparently it's really easy for me to start looking past it no matter where I put it.
