Being Intentional

In my last post, I put forth a challenge. A challenge to put aside all the things you think need to get done, so that you could spend some time with the people you love.

I took some time this holiday season to hang out with my kids.  We had a great time, however, when my laptop died, it took the pictures with it!

But, I will not leave you empty handed!

I also spent a lot of time thinking about how much I want to continue spending the time with my family.  So, I came up with a little project that will take me though 2010.

It's called "a month of sundays".


Sundays are supposed to be a day of rest.  A day of refreshing, when I get "fed" and ready to go for the rest of the week.  It's also a perfect time to reflect on my life, my husband and my kids.  A time to look back on the week, and to look forward to the next.

It's also the day that I get the most scrapping done.

I bought this dayplanner kit from the Shoppe and I put it together a couple days ago. I printed off all of the pages, but I had too many of the Saturday and Sunday pages. I don't like to waste paper, so I had been thinking of a project that I could use with the extras.


So I came up with this. 

I've pre-made the album, as that works best for me, and each and every Sunday I will take time to scrap a little page (with or without photos) about how I spent time with my loved ones that week. 



It's goal setting time as we get ready for the New Year, and one of my goals is to be diligent about spending that time with my family and doing this every Sunday!

What are your New Year's goals? How does your scrapping change because of them?

Hope you all have a happy and safe New Year's Eve! See you next year!

And I'll be drawing a winner next Thursday to win a RAK from me!
