Scrapbook Confessions...

I'm taking a break today from the decor posts to make a little confession about my scrapbooking procrastination.  I had all the best intentions at the beginning of 2014 to document the entire year in one 12" X 12" scrapbook:

Yeah, here's the story alright...  I started out great:

...Then I stopped around about April.  Awesome.  I have given myself the deadline of finishing this 2014 scrapbook by this April.  So far, I've gotten all the way to July 2014:

I realized while trying to cram so much of our awesome summer into this book, that I could (most of the time) fit 2" X 3" photos of the entire month on one page.  This may help me get through 2014 by my self-imposed deadline.  I hope.  :-)  Five more months to go...  Urgh...

Meanwhile, 2015 had started already and I vowed not to let this same mess hit me next year.  So I ordered a 4" X 4" mint scrapbook from A Beautiful Mess, one of my all time favorite blogs...

If I can't finish this tiny thing in 2015, I have a real problem!  I also ordered extra page inserts and got started filling them up while working on the 2014 scrapbook.  A Beautiful Mess also inspired me to take the year by the week, highlighting life one week at a time...

Week one was pretty bad for all of us in this abode, hence this little addition:  :-)

We were all in such a funk that there were hardly any pictures taken!  So I added a photo of the winter mantel, something that makes us all happy.  
The next four weeks were spent recovering from that first week and just trying to enjoy life...

I have to admit, this tiny album is so much easier to keep up with!  I am already on this current week and am ready to do some journaling:

Do any of you scrapbook your year?  Or do you keep the scrapbooking for special events and vacations?  I have mostly done scrapbooks for vacations and trips in the past, but since we haven't been able to travel for the past few years, it seemed only logical to document our year.  Besides, we live in our vacation home now so everyday should feel like a vacation, right?
(Yeah, right!)  ;-)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and a very Happy Valentine's Day!

I think you know what I'll be working on this weekend...  Sigh...
Cheers!
