January's 12-of-12

after all my planning and scheming to scraplift other people's 12-of-12 layouts, i ended up using the same ol' format. and i think i'll just stick with it. it's so easy, and getting the day documented is the point, so . . . we had a busy day yesterday! it was really hard for me to narrow the photos down to just twelve.

after putting this thing together this morning, i've learned two things. first, i have learned i am not above begging. i plan to call stan and beg him to get my laptop in sooner. i'll pay more; whatever. the second thing i learned is that i should not have been putting off taking the old desktop in for service. it is s-l-o-w. and i can't work like i'm accustomed, with fifteen different applications all going at the same time. uh, no way. one thing at a time, and so slow i had time to change laundry loads while each picture was opening.

Hi! Thank you for your comments today!

I have never done a 12-of-12 layout before. I'm planning to do a grid of photos at the top just like yours. It looks great!

I love these. One of these days you're going to inspire me to start making pages again.

hey there! Thanks for your comments about my start of the year questions! I like your idea of incorporating them into an album. Might have to consider that myself! (and I added a link now to last year's - I dont think all that much has changed for me to be honest!)
Anyway, yet again, you put me to shame as I have not completed my 12 of 12 for December OR January yet and there you are posting on the 13th with a ready completed layout.
I really like your design and you are right . the main thing is to get it done (unlike me!) so go you!
Well done and TFS.

Hi :) checkin' in to see your 12 of 12 and it looks great! You know, simplicity is beautiful too and if the grid works for you then run with it. :) And, it's all about just getting it done so do what's right for you. :) Oh, that new bank teller...so, did the boys get the suckers? :) Have a nice weekend! ...one more thing... about the music player on the blog: is that free? how do you get the music for it? And, one more thing - promise ;) - do you know if David Cook's songs he performed on AI are available on cd or are they just downloads? thanks :)

Hi again! Thanks for the info about the music player and the AI Gives Back cd. Didn't think of that. doh! ;) I hope you don't mind but I posted what you wrote about trying new things in life. It was so good and I liked your different perspective on the subject. :)
