WOYWW.........It's almost a New Year

A new year arriving makes me. think about the past one and what i would like to achieve in the coming year......I must be realistic a tidy desk just will not happen! 

I am looking forward to the arrival of a new grandchild a brother or sister for Lara, we should know soon. Life will be busy with a new baby around I'm sure!  

I always think about my crafting and what direction I want to go in. I guess it all evolves over time, there is no right and no wrong, it's just what makes you happy. I struggle to capture all Lara's achievements and scrap them all into 12 x 12 albums, as well as other craft projects and design team work. So I think this year will see me doing Lara's year album in a 8x8 size and I will do it digital then print and put in folders in her album, something like these I tried out during the week, using the Becky Higgins Project Life app.......

At least that way I will capture it all, although I feel as though I'm cheating a little, it feels too easy ! 

I will still do a12x12 album all paper, glue and sparkles ......... Etc but only things I choose to, not all of it! I hope that will work for me while trying to balance my family life. Do others review there crafting at this time of year?
