January seriously got away from me.
Big Time.
I mean, where DID the month go???
After my last post on January 12, I had the crop in Lancaster PA with daughter Sarah. For those of you that follow me on Facebook, you already know that was an experience. One of the hotel boilers was broken down and waiting for a part for repairs. The common areas of the hotel were fine. But the rooms.... half had no heat and were being supplied with space heaters ...
and NONE of the rooms had hot water. Which made showers, well, chilly to say the least. At least our room had heat.
But we survivied our camping out at a "resort hotel" experience. I won't bore you with the rest of the inadequacies of the hotel or the complete lack of customer service.
I had the BEST intentions for taking photos while there - of Sarah and I, of my friends and table-mates Rachel and Wendy. I even took my big camera. It didn't happen. I didn't take a single photo. Not one. But I did get pages done.
LOTS of pages.
The rest of the weekend I worked on pages for the girls' School of Life, Volume 2 (7th-12th grades) albums. The albums are not done yet, but great progress was made with 15 pages in Becca's album, 18 pages in Rachel's album, and 7 pages added to Sarah's album which already had the foundation pages in place. Not bad for a weekend work - 43 pages in total. Probably a record for me. And at some point I may even take photos of some of the best to share....

It happens to me all the time and I find the more I think about it, the worse it gets. I recognised Sian's (I have a similar one here) and Jacky's cards straight away.
I can't imagine completing 42 pages even if I had a whole weekend! Well done, and welcome back!
Wow Cheri....that's pretty amazing....I probably only make 43 pages a year....if that!!
At least the hotel didn't have any amenities to distract you from scrapping!!
I probably make fewer than 43 pages in an entire year! Amazing..especially if the heating was dodgy. I can't scrap with cold fingers! I'm very impressed
Right there with you! So glad you had a productive retreat!!

Congratulations on being so productive. Great idea to use the cards. I tuck mine into a pocket page after a couple pages of photos - have been thinking of using pieces and like your inspiration.
Ugh on the lack of heating and hot water :(
I know what you mean about your blog posts. I have been lax in that department lately too. I don't know where the time goes. At least you have an excuse with your job! I'm retired and still don't have time!! I'm leaving on Wednesday for a scrapbook retreat with my sisters. I hope I get as much done as you did! Love your pages.
Wow, you were REALLY productive. Sounds like it was quite the experience. I do believe I recognize a little piece on that Christmas layout! :)
Awesome pages! I write posts in my head all the time when I run.
