Today is .....

...exactly two months to go!! How exciting is that? (Now I'm sounding like one of the visiting American s/bookers.) I have decided the only way that I can get a lot of scrapping done is to have a plan. Whether that plan is page kits like Raewyn or just a set of photos that you want to scrap, it's a plan. I started doing page kits but still have some from months ago. I n January, I scrapped eight l/os - not because I had page kits, but because I decided that I wanted to finish all the boys' birthdays that they had had in New Zealand. And because I had a plan, that's what I did. Yesterday, I did almost nothing and it was only thanks to Sharlene that I did htree l/os; because I had no plan.

So whatever works for you, you should be spending April planning. Printing photos, sorting then out into what you want to scrap, possibly even finding the matching embellishments or memorabilia. Start deciding what c/s you want to use. Even start printing your journalling. Spend a few evenings browsing through your Becky Higgins Sketch book or other sketches and write down the ones that appeal to you. For most of us, it's school holidays soon and possibly some time to take more photos (!) or spend the time planning.

That's all for now, but check back regularly as I'll try to update this at least fortnightly before we go ...that's only another four messages here!
