I've already started tackling my closet which is still a work-in-progress! You'll see... Here is Week One I started with New Year's Eve at midnight.

My husbands entire family (extended family which includes out of state relatives)

My Aunt and Uncle recently celebrated 13 years of marriage (and even longer as far as how long they've been together). I don't know how they do it, but their love is truly inspiring. They have so much respect and love for each other. I'm so happy for them. Boy do I love and admire these two.... I created this digi page for them for their special day. I've been inspired by other things lately

So I'm working on putting together my Disneyland Mini! If you recall, it's all pre-made and I'm just adding in my photos, journaling, embellishments and ephemera! One of the biggest challenges I find is trying to put in all the photos I want. My album is about 5" x 7", so it's a challenge. What I've done is create collages that are sized down to about 4" x 4"! I can fit about 5 to 6 photos!
