Hello 2013!

Starting next Wednesday, I’ll be back with my weekly posts from the dissertation.

I may post periodically on my minimalist scrapbooking project. I am not keeping track of my scrapbooking purchases like I was. I’ve got out of it what I wanted to get out of it for the most part. My plan was to reduce my scrapbook spending and use my stash. I’m not sure that I’ve reduced my scrapbook spending a whole lot, but am more aware of my scrapbook purchases. I’ve learned that a large portion of my spending goes towards printing photographs for the scrapbooks. I have not reduced my spending like I had hoped, but I think I am a lot more cognizant of the purchases I do make.

I plan to post at least once a month on my own scrapbooking. I think I can handle that. Right now, I am trying to wrap up a couple of projects: my trip to Denver, Week in the Life, and 2012 Christmas (not a December Daily) before the end of the year (or before my Spring Semester starts). I don’t have any major scrapbooking plans on the horizon. I plan to just scrapbook the photos I take and memories I make. And that, is good enough for me.

Happy New Year!
