Too Much Energy

Slow scrapbooking effort

According to my 365 pages album on Flickr, I've only scrapbooked 28 pages so far!  Uh-oh!

Getting serious

Emily is graduating in 3 months and I need to get going on her albums!  I set a goal to scrapbook an average a page a day (365 pages for the year), I was doing fine until January 18 (I've scrapbooked 17 pages) - actually, I scrapbook a few pages in California as well... but here are some of them...

 

Scrapbooking in 2013

I've realized I've been so behind with my everyday scrapbooking that for this year, I'm going to scrapbook 365 pages!  That would mean an average of 1 page per day!  Before I start that, I want to post the rest of my Beijing Scrapbook so go get your cup of coffee/pop/beer and enjoy the rest of my album.

So that was my Beijing Album...  Hope you enjoyed it.  This year, I'll have to start on my Shanghai Album.

Christmas and Birthday Wishlist

Here's the annual wishlist for my family and friends who find me a hard person to shop for.  If you're going to get me something, please try to get one of these items that I'll resist buying the next month:

1.  Barbara G. Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns book.  This is available at Amazon.

2. Barbara G. Walker's Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns

3. Modern Family Complete Third Season DVD Set

4.  Mad Men Season 5 BluRay

 

5.  Trollbeads Zodiac Dragon:

6.  Trollbeads Chinese Dragon:

 

7.  Trollbeads Mahjong Fortune:

 

8.  Chamilia bead Summer Hydrangea:

Camilia Fortune Cookie:

 

 Pandora Beaded Beauty Spacer:

 

 

I'll keep thinking... that's all for now.  You can tell Emily to cross of any item you are getting.  She will know what to do.

Beijing Scrapbook - Pages 43 - 57

I finished the Beijing Scrapbook last month.  I also changed a setting within Typepad, which made my Knitting blog the default blog.  I thought this would only affect my editing abilities, not realizing that you would not be able to view Too Much Energy.  When Jennifer asked me what happened to the blog or that Too Much Energy has turned into Too Much Work, I thought it was because I haven't updated this blog for 2 months.  But when Chris brought it to my attention that all she gets now is the Knitting blog, I realized what I'd done.  So, I'm back and to present you with a continuation of my Beijing Scrapbook.
