Yep, I've been MIA

So sorry for not posting!  I've been immersed in a HUGE project and I need to get it finished by the end of May.  I posted about this a few months ago (I think!):  I've been scanning my family's photos and compiling family history to make a Heritage album.  I'm also going to load all the scanned photos onto flash drives to give out to family members at the family reunion in June.

Not much to show you in photos, but believe me, it is a VERY labor-intensive project.  Here is what I can show you as far as the process goes:

 My trusty scanner.

 Photo to scan

Positioning to scan

 Boxes to organize scanned photos

And here is what it looks like on my computer and soon to be on the flash drives:

 Labeling the photo and choosing the file to drop it into

 I've organized the files by sibling, then by decade

 And then further by year

 Now that these photos (and other documents) are scanned and organized electronically, they can be shared with all our family members!

I'll be returning the originals to family members and I'm currently in the process of printing and assembling an album of most of the photos. (and a duplicate copy of the album for my mother-and father-in law)

I've created a few Studio J layouts since I'm facing a time crunch and Studio J is perfect for creating beautiful layouts quickly!  I'll share those with you soon.

I've estimated I've put in about 500 hours or more with this project over the past year, at least.  So this is my excuse for not blogging much over the last few months.  Apologies! 

I've also been busy creating cards and gifts, but I have to wait until I've gifted them first since I don't want to spoil the surprise.  I'll post them soon as well, and I'm hoping to get back to posting on my blog again soon on a fairly regular basis.  Thanks for everyone for hanging in there and being patient with my absence!

Yay! New Laptop!

Yep, I'm FINALLY back!  Hubby got me a brand spankin new laptop for Christmas!  I have everything transferred over from my old one, and programs installed so I can do photos.  I've been busy making lots of stuff and when I get everything edited I'll post photos of my latest projects.

My next project will be the Chantilly card Workshop on the Go.  Here is the photo from the idea book:

I'm going to work on them tomorrow and I'll get photos posted as soon as I can!

Thanks for hanging in there with me, sorry about being MIA for so long!
