Houston, We Have A Problem

And by WE, I mean ME. It’s embarrassing! I almost can’t admit it! But hey, I guess I can tell the Internet. The first step to recovering is admitting it, right? So here goes . . .

I just ordered 1,031 pictures. Just from our month of October. Yup, you read correctly, 1,031.

Now you must keep in mind that I keep 3 albums . . . 1 for Princess, 1 for Dude, and 1 for Me and Hubby . . . so it’s obvious that I could have NEEDED 1,031 pictures for OCTOBER what with there needing to be 3 copies of many of the photos. And, we did manage to cram all of the following activities into one little month . . .

  • Trip to NM for the Balloon Fiesta
  • Trip to Orlando to visit The Magic Kingdom, Sea World, Downtown Disney, and the Hotel Pool
  • Hiking in 2 beautiful canyons close to home
  • Trip to the Pumpkin Patch
  • Bowling (Yes, this IS a photo-worthy event! So you just zip it!)
  • Halloween

I will now add Scrapaholics Anonymous in my speed dial right next to the number for my Advanced Planners Anonymous group.

    october was a big month for us too. 3 birthdays, fall in general (which I love) 3 trips to pumpkin patches, halloween! I started creating photo books online for me and then still scrapping the girls albums. I get further behind every day. Good luck with October don’t forget christmas is right around the corner!

    I would pay someone to do scrapbooks for the kids. I do a digital one each year but not individually for the girls. Someday maybe - but I can’t do the paper one. My mind can’t even go there!
