How Crazy am I??!!

Recently I’ve decided to start a couple of new projects.  It’s not like I don’t already have enough to do!  And I really don’t like starting something and then not be able to finish it.  Like this website for example, I’ve been wanting to find the time to actually sit down and get it to look the way I want it to look but can’t seem to get the time to do it with the kids around – it’s sort of driving me crazy!

Anyway, back to my projects.  I decided that I wanted to go through all of the pictures that I’ve taken over the past three years and get them into photo albums.  The reason I decided to do this is because I was showing my mother-in-law how to do some editing of pictures on the computer and I was using one of my daughters pictures as an example.  She mistook my daughter for my son.  So I figured I better get the pictures, printed, labelled and in photo albums before the next child is born.  By then I think I’ll have a really hard time trying to figure out who’s in the picture – especially if the third one is another carbon copy of my husband!

So my pictures is my project number one (with over 400 pictures to go through – it’ll take me a while).  The next project I took on was scanning all of my mom’s pictures into my computer (again over 400 pictures!) and labelling them, putting them on flash drives to send to my sisters.  This project is now completed, finally!  It was actually quite interesting going through the pictures, trying to figure out who every one is in the pictures.  Most of the pictures were taken before my mom & dad got married, it was fun to see my mom so youthful!  There was actually two pictures that I came accross of my Aunt’s wedding – the maid of honor looks a lot like me about 10 years ago!  Interesting – I have no idea who this person is.

My last project is going through my cook books and typing up the recipies that I use and putting them into a binder.  Once I’ve gone through a cook book then I’ll get rid of it.  I’m hoping to narrow my cook books down to two or three – the rest I want to get rid of.

So some big projects to get through but I think if I can work at them each a little each week, I’ll get them done before baby number 3 arrives!
