This past weekend, I printed out an update of all the outfit-a-day photos I took of myself…2 weeks on one sheet of paper. It was nice to see it all together and the smaller size means that I don’t have to flinch too much – sometimes it’s just weird looking at yourself so much…
I definitely have favorites and not so favorite looks. Days when I really didn’t want to get out of my pajamas, but forced myself to do it anyway. There are days where I’m entirely frumpy, but there are good days too. I definitely like being more dressed up, but certainly comfort is a huge factor in my likes and dislikes.
I asked my husband for his take on the various looks and he definitely preferred the dresses… hehe…
I’m no longer sure how this effort will result in organizing my closet. I only know that I have lots of laundry to do as I’m attempting not to repeat outfits, to really go through my wardrobe. Eek. Scary. In other scrapbooking efforts, I’ve tried again to formulate a photo collage template. I’m okay with the few pages I printed this weekend, but not totally satisfied.
Now I’m wondering why I just don’t print 4×6 photos, stick them in an album and write those little captions? Hehe… sigh. It’s like a pendulum of preference and emotions these days in my scrapbooking life.
Perhaps I’m going through a mid-scrapbook life crisis? LOL. However, I AM looking forward to February, as I signed up for a few classes that should be fun. Hopefully it’ll get me going…and back into a nice groove.

I like that layout- it looks very clean and like the photos tell the story as opposed to ten thousand layers of embellishment. I sort of don’t like the “more product the better” trend in scrapbooking at the moment. I’m all for layering (goodness knows I do enough of it!) and I LOVE product as much as the next person, but it can get a little crazy when there’s one 2×3 photo on a 12×12 page and then at least 20 embellishments basically covering it.
I know what you mean and I think for some people, they just want to play with the products. I like both sides, so I guess I haven’t figured out a nice balance to it all. Because when there are so many photos, there’s just no space for other stuff!
