are a specialty of mine...I'm usually not a look-before-you-leap kind of a girl, but when it comes to setting a goal or starting a project I quickly decide that of course I can do it all...do it well..and do it quickly.
For instance last night I invited eight people over for Christmas dinner...it was originally just going to be my mom along with Mac, Sean and I and now the dining room table is at maximum capacity again...which I'm thrilled about...it's almost like a present to me to be lucky enough to have the house filled on Christmas night...and I'm excited to making a meal of prime rib, mashed potatoes and creamed spinach...but now is the time to deal with this lofty goal setting...so what am I doing?
Scrapbooking...deciding that I should try and get all the Christmas layouts that I have planned at this point done before Christmas...so I started with a simple title page for the year...and then decided it was also a good time to make sure all my other scrapbooks were organized with all the photos from the fall that I still want to make layouts with...you know because that really helps me be ready to host a big dinner in a few days, right? Oh and did I mention we're also hosting our family brunch Christmas morning? Lofty goals...we can totally do it...but maybe I should put aside the scrapbooking?
Nah. :)
