Too Many Photos

I just love digital.  I can take millions of pictures (give or take) and usually get that one perfect shot.  No more paying to develop the picture of your child grabbing the camera or your left shoe or even the inside of the camera bag.  See....perfect shot:

The problem is that I then have the million pictures (give or take) and I have to go through them all when scrapbooking.  I have blurry ones and ones with a child picking her nose, a messy garage in the background and the ever-popular one or all children not looking! 

So, although I don't really do New Year Resolutions I am going to clean up my photos.  Every day I get on the computer I am going to go through one month's photos starting today with January 2011.  I am only keeping pictures good enough to frame or scrapbook.  My husband will be shocked that I have more space on my computer!  I hope this will help me save time when I go to print my photos.  I'll keep you posted...

Christmas in FL

I guess with 5 kids you no longer get those stock model-type photos for Christmas :)  A few of the kids and all the dolls smiling and looking at the camera is what I am learning to be content with lately.  Where is Melissa of Signature Studios when I need her?  I suppose we can't afford to have her come to all our holiday and special occasion gatherings....

December Winner

OK, so it's not a wonderful picture but think no less of the layout.  Cecelia was voted as the winner by you for last month's challenge kit.  Yay!

Single Inspiration

Just a couple of single pages I finished and thought I'd share.  Enjoy!

Winner Announced!

Congratulations to Laura W. for receiving the most votes for last month's posted Challenge Kit!  Laura would have received this month's kit for free if she hadn't been so on top of things that she took advantage of the kit being available the last week of November.  Now she'll get the next month's kit free.  More kits were submitted this month so be sure to come in and vote!!

This is the kit they used-2 sheets of double sided patterned paper and tags by My Little Yellow Bicycle, white cardstock and ribbon.  You may still purchase this kit for only $6 and "cheat" off their homework!!  Don't forget to vote to encourage them while you're here!

November Kit Submissions

Only 1 more day to vote on October's kit submissions. 

Come in and vote and don't forget to pick up the November kit due

by tomorrow (Tuesday) along with Reduce Challenge 101. 

Or, the jump right into the new Decembers kit.

Pick up your kit early to get it in on time for full point value!
