Scrapbook sludge

I have all these scrapbooking ideas, but in the end they just stay in my head. I have to just really start doing something, I do have a couple of scrapbooks in progress, not the bulk idea that needs to be dented though.

I have chronological-ness in the way I think. Not surely just “time” but sort of, past, it’s more a continuum of space, a spatial visual thing. So how do I start hacking into the main line of my saved photos.

I do need to make something along the lines of a “FAMILY” scrapbook, starting with when DH and I met and married … I know what to do, but just “ain’t getting it done”.

I have let things slip away that would have been better to do way back when, when I first started. Actually in some ways I am almost glad that I DIDN’T do much back then, ’cause the materials to use are so much better now. This is the deal, I have a very graphic way of laying out a page, with simple papers and shapes and photos and little embellishment … from back in the beginning with Creative Memories in 1995/6. I was good at that sort, but have glorious visions in my head and I NEED horizontal work table-ness to get it done, and I just don’t have that availability. If I did, would it all come out as do-able?

In any case, I do have the armoire I’ve previously written about. It’s holding my things better than they were held before, ever. It does have a large pull-out table thing, a desktop sort of, meant originally to be a worksurface for a computer user. It is a pretty good size and would work, if I could get it back into the armoire, but so far, only one of the hardware pieces has been found, and two are needed to get it back in. The thing had come apart in a previous usage state, and just needs to be screwed back together, with there being plenty of other holes in the hardware to use to screw it all tightly together in order to allow it to slide in and out of the armoire properly. [this is meant to be about working furniture, nothing else … 🙂 ]

I really hope we can find that piece of hardware soon. It would be a nice thing for me. I am anxious to get something going, but with the disorder that last week brought, I’m further from being able to actually scrapbook than I was a couple of weeks ago. Sadly.
