Was a surprise to me too.<br />
<br />
Sometimes it's just the way of it.<br />
<br />
Sometimes intentions lead to motivation and output.<br />
<br />
Sometimes they don't.<br />
<br />
And sometimes flicking things actually leads to flicking them.<br />
<br />
And sometimes it doesn't.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: magenta; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">And sometimes inspiration just kicks in whether you want it to or not. </span></b><br />
<br />
I'd taken some fun photos of the dog in the backyard...<br />
<br />
...and made some name tags for a party...<br />
<br />
...and bought some <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/product/985-ticket-to-christmas-itty-bitty.aspx">oh-so-fab ticket stamps from Unity Stamps</a> (these were a no-brainer when I saw them).<br />
<br />
All of them had nothing to do with the other...nothing at all really.<br />
<br />
But one day they all melded together and a Christmas card idea was born.<br />
<br />
And I wanted to make it.<br />
<br />
And I decided to.<br />
<br />
And I finished them this week. <br />
<br />

<br />
Andrew (yes, the man) wrote on them and I addressed/stamped them etc.<br />
<br />
We're a good team.<br />
<br />
He even wrote on one for me and made me teary. "That was my aim," he said.<br />
<br />
Nice. It was.<br />
<br />
I love the card.<br />
<br />
It's from the heart.<br />
<br />
It's 'just because'.<br />
<br />
It's us.<br />
<br />
It's the dog.<br />
<br />
It's me right now.<br />
<br />
Simple, easy and fun.<br />
<br />
Gotta tell ya though - they didn't take five minutes. You know how I say that 'these things never take five minutes?' Well, I'm right. They don't.<br />
<br />
Each of these took about 10 mins - still pretty good for a card.<br />
<br />
Worth it.<br />
<br />
Bye now!<br />
<br />

Last night we passed by a local church and decided to stop in for a quick look. I ended up taking some Christmas light photos with an arty twist...literally.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know how you've got your camera on the Normal setting with no flash and the photos are all fuzzy? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I just went with that and moved the camera on purpose (in a circle, up and down or sideways - whatever) as I was taking the photos and ended up with these...</div>
<br />

Camels and the three wise men. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andrew did this one, I think. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My fav, I think. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moved the camera to the left and down. Only had 5 mins to do all this, so it was all pretty quick. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lights were cascading here in real life - they're the best to do this with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, like 'em. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a bitta fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep, I'll print a couple out and stick 'em in my book. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the photos for realz. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
All taken on the trusty Lumix on the night scenery setting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No tripod. Just me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tried using Andrew's shoulder, but that required coordination of me taking the photo and him holding his breath.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ended up just holding the camera up and snapping them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that, people, is why I'd get a Lumix again in a heartbeat. Quicker than that, can't be without a camera. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also took this shot of the tree in town...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6WVUWx6i8js/TvPciKY5smI/AAAAAAAAFbQ/QNkdm3bjb-A/s1600/Tree+in+town+2011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6WVUWx6i8js/TvPciKY5smI/AAAAAAAAFbQ/QNkdm3bjb-A/s400/Tree+in+town+2011.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's a tiny bit fuzzy, but it's still a goodie. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best option when taking shots like this at night I reckon is to just lift the camera up and take the shot rather than try to hold the camera still for 5 secs before you take it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first shot (the lift and snap one) was the best. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That being said, I often use a tripod at home when there are lights involved, it's just easier. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, bye now! </div>

<br />
I haven't been doing it every day, but I've been collecting stuff for each day and as of now, I'm up to date. Last night I did three days at once - ie. stuck all the stuff in and wrote a few notes.<br />
<br />
The whole blank page thing works for me - I'm not interested in designing much, just documenting. I'll do it this way next year too. I like it.<br />
<br />

Full page photos are good - Ali's doing them a lot this year and she inspired me to do one too. Told ya the girl inspires me.<br />
<br />
I still have a bit of journalling to write on that second page.<br />
<br />
I'm not a fan of leaving blank spots, but it's the way of it this year.<br />
<br />
We bought a new star for the tree - ours was second hand when we got it and we had it for about 15 years. It was time!<br />

Sorry, some of the photos are a bit dark.<br />
<br />
On the right is a blog post I wrote about the scrapping girls that inspire me. I just printed it out in green and pink (I'm all about the coloured writing this year) and stuck it in.<br />

String (ribbon pics) on the coldest Dec day we've had in 100 years. Hello, it's summer over here. 19 degrees is below average winter weather for us.<br />

Chopped up the free Coles magazine that you get in-store. I'm not a sweet tooth, but I loved the way they presented the things with ribbon and baker's twine (on the right of the second page).<br />

Post it notes show where photos go. I haven't had a chance (or the will) to go back to the shops to get the photos developed - will do at a later time.<br />
<br />
Mum, Sue and I did some crafting and we listened to 150 Christmas songs in 8 hours. Whoa baby.<br />

A spot for two photos to go on the left there again.<br />
<br />
We ate dinner outside under our lights and I took a couple of shots. We didn't last too long - the mossies chased us inside.<br />
<br />
We've since moved the lights inside, so we can enjoy them each night without the bugs...<br />
<br />
I want those Adirondack chairs! I'll have the light blue one please. It's actually the Christmas card that Andrew got from work. Nice, hey?<br />
<br />
That's all the pages I've taken photos of. Just wanted to give a general idea of what I've been doing. The book's almost full.<br />
<br />
Okay, bye now, talk soon.<br />
<br />
PS. I made that banner back in November and kept it to stick in the Dec Daily. Like how it looks.<br />
<br />

<br />
Maybe it should be the garland or the pretty thing, but the string? Not fab a name, is it?<br />
<br />
Here's last year's string...<br />
<br />
or strings...there are two really.<br />

Some things are the same as last year and some things are new.<br />
<br />
The biggest difference is I've made a lot of the strings longer. Just felt like it.<br />
<br />
Usually I put a red tablecloth on, but I've kept the coloured one for the moment. Like it.<br />

3D ornaments - eight trees folded and glued together. Glitter ended at the end. One of my favourites this year. It's the pink Sullivans punch. I walk by and spin them for fun.<br />
<br />
A button wreath - can you see it? Got the idea from Martha Stewart on Pintrest. Hers was green. Red's the go for me.<br />
<br />
More stars.<br />
<br />
More 3D ornaments.<br />
<br />
More flat ornaments.<br />

Oooh, there's the Vintage Ornament punch that I had to throw out...see it just there? It's cream and covered in clear glitter. Looks pretty. It's a collector's item now!<br />

There's the button wreath. These photos were taken at a few different times. I only made one wreath.<br />
<br />
And see those candy canes? They're fakes. Love them. Got 'em from Big W for $5 for a box of 12. Bought two boxes and put the other lot on our tree. Just stuck 'em in there.<br />

<br />
I had to bin a Martha punch - Vintage Ornament, I think it was called. <br />
<br />
Pity because it was quite pretty.<br />
<br />
The binning could've been avoided if I'd've just used some cooking spray before I punched. I knew it was sticking a bit in there...<br />
<br />
Anyway, as you can see, a lot of work was done on it to save it by Andrew and his dad. Andrew checked it one night and then the next day before work and his dad checked it during the day while he was here fixing the computer. He and I worked on it for an hour, but he deemed it unfixable.<br />
<br />
Sad.<br />
<br />
We tried.<br />

"When in doubt, take everything out," he said. And he did. All the bits came out and were checked over and put back in.<br />
<br />
I was in charge of the silicone spray. Andrew brought up the big guns from his tool box downstairs before he left and I sprayed it at will.<br />
<br />
Could've done with it in the very beginning like I said...Don't do it to yourselves! Get up! Spray those punches...they'll thank you for it.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New';">They've taught
me so much over the last however many years. The encouragement, the answers,
the inspiration, the ideas. I'm grateful for the part they've played, and still
play, in my life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">I
wouldn't be doing half of what I'm doing if it wasn't for her. How we outwork things is completely different, but I am completely inspired by her. Always have been. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">I think
it's the photos and stories philosophy that she has. They are most
important to her and I totally agree. The way she tells those stories inspires
me to tell my own. Little and big, they all matter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">Same with blurry photos - they're still a memory, so include them if they mean something to you. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">She took
on Project Life and has been tracking her progress on her
blog...(the amount of work that she puts into projects and then blogging about
them - I respect that because I know how much work it is)... well, when she put the
photo of her album open on her counter it sparked my whole move to scrapping at
the cabinet in the living room with divided page protectors. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">Before that
scrapping and I were at a stalemate. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">After that we were friends again. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">It was a
revolution. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">And this
book. This December Daily thing. All her. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">She's been doing it for
five years now and it's grown into one of the biggest crafting events of the year on the web. I've been doing it for
four years and just enjoy writing stuff down, putting photos in and looking back at the different albums. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">I've just
watched her four dvds again. They're about six or seven years old now, but the
concepts are still as relevant as they were then. Was fun to look back too and see the old products and how things have changed. No misting then!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">She
sparked my whole mini album phase and the resulting 100+ mini albums. Totally amazing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New';">She's
currently doing episodes on My Craft Channel now and hers is the only show I
definitely watch (not true - def. watch Ella too). She's always got something good to say. What I love is that she's
passionate about photos and stories and putting them together. She loves the
crafty part, but the memories are the most important.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">"Let go of the expectation that you have to do something with all of your
photos and embrace the idea that you can do something good (and fun) with some
of your photos."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
For years they were in the linen cupboard because it was the only cupboard in the house that could accommodate them for the keeping-the-dust-off-factor and the size factor. 12 x 12 albums are pretty big and don't fit in most normal furniture I've found.<br />
<br />
Eventually I started to need the room in the linen cupboard for actual sheets and towels, so I asked Andrew to build me a shelf in the cupboard of the spare room.<br />
<br />
Here's where they get stored now....<br />
<br />

<br />
Yes, that's a cupboard with a TV in it.<br />
<br />
Was my idea to put it in the cupboard so we (I) couldn't see it when it wasn't in use. Works really well.<br />
<br />
So there are all the albums, all lined up. I love that they're easy to pull off the shelf and look at on the carpeted floor. Carpeted floor is good for viewing albums on.<br />
<br />

<br />
Some of the mini albums are stored in this box and basket.<br />
<br />
I know, not fabulous, but I don't look through them much (they're not as precious to me in that way). Works for the moment - I certainly don't want them out and scattered all over the place...too much.<br />
<br />
I like them altogether in the same room pretty much even though they're in a plastic box...<br />

<br />
There's a bookshelf in the same room and some of the albums are stored on there. As are games, other scrapping books and mags and bits and pieces (I can see a dictionary and some Lonely Planet guides up there).<br />
<br />
We call this room the snug. It's certainly that - it's snug. It's great for reading (we have an old couch in there too), looking at albums, watching tele and just being quiet.<br />
<br />
It's one of my favourite rooms in the house because it just works for us. Took us a while to figure out how to get it that way though. Sometimes things work themselves out...and this room did.<br />
<br />
Last note: I think that was another reason I stopped making mini albums - the storage! Hello? How do you store them?<br />
<br />
Anyway, that's how I store mine.<br />
<br />

Part 8<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">To finish the scrap history posts, I thought I'd end with the stats.</span> </b></span><br />
<br />
Started in Dec 2000<br />
<br />
Still going strong today.<br />
<br />
This is not a hobby to me, it's something that I do. It's our life in photos and I'll always take them and organise them in some sort of album form.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Completed at last count:</span> </span></b><br />
<br />
15 chronological albums - 12 x 12<br />
<br />
4 trip albums - 12 x 12<br />
<br />
10 other 12 x 12 albums of various themes.<br />
<br />
2 albums in 8 x 8<br />
<br />
Over 100 mini albums<br />
<br />
4 Photo album books - 2 ups<br />
<br />
3 December Daily albums<br />
<br />
1 On the Road album<br />
<br />
Wow, that's a lot.<br />
<br />
I do get a bit concerned about the volume of stuff, but I've really pulled back on that in the last few years and I try to let the photos mature before I get them printed out. I print less that way.<br />
<br />
So, that's it for this question - it turned out to be an eight parter, far out.<br />
<br />
What it comes down to is...<br />
<br />
