I've made a start! And it's been so fun :)
I've been scanning in old pictures and searching through
all sorts of digital photos. I'll keep the pages coming!

Catchin' Up!
Working on my ALPHABETIZE ME 2012 project, I am seeing that I've had more hairstyles than I realized!
How are you today? Boy, I see it's been too long since I've said hello! Things are going well - life is kickin' along at it's usual BUSY pace. I've been battling a bad cold and the insurance company. Not sure which is worse. :)
We just got some snowfall last night and it's really pretty out there. Molly has already asked me 4 times if I'll sled on the orange sled with her. I gave her a "maybe" which she turned into,
"Boys! Mom said she'll sled today!"
We'll have to see about that. I hope this finds you doing well! I'm currently scanning in old photos for my ALPHABETIZE ME 2012 project which I'm super excited to have some time to be working on tomorrow at a crop! YIPEE!
I'll be sharing what I get accomplished right here on my blog and on the orange clothesline FB page. Stay tuned!

Personality!
I have no idea what's up with my header, but I'd rather have it nice and clear than distorted like it's looked for a while now! So it's teeny, but that's ok! Cause it's not pixely anymore. Is pixely a word? Now it is!
How have you been? It's been a pretty quiet day I'd say. Got to help in my son's 1st grade class this morning which was a real treat. He's so fun. So silly and full of personality. Now I'm home and sitting on the couch next to a dog who is also full of personality! Never a dull moment ;)
Hoping you are having a good Thursday as well and feeling motivated to scrap! I'm having fun coming up with words for my ALPHABETIZE ME project, especially with your help that I've been receiving on Facebook. It's fun to compile this list of words for each letter! Last night I sat down with the kids and we went thru the first of many boxes of old photos. Knowing it would be chaos, I simply asked them to make a pile of pix that had ME in them. So they did. There's a start. The words are coming together for each letter of the alphabet, and the pictures will follow. What a fun project!
To think, there will be a book about me. A fun keepsake and conversation piece! Now... 5 years from now... 20 years from now! HA! What a hoot! (who ever came up with that expression anyways??)

Fun & Funky

Just some fun pages to share from the scrapbook retreat I was at this past weekend
(where I forgot to get regular SLEEP!)
...introducing ALPHABETIZE ME 2012 by the orange clothesline
Hello and happy new week everyone! I can't believe it's Monday all over again :)
It's almost time to take my youngest to preschool but I wanted to tell you about my newest project.
I am going to do a scrapbook about ME. Yep, ME. I'm not sure about you, but I rarely have photos that include me, let alone scrapbook about myself. SO... I thought this year it would be fun to start a project, I'm calling it ALPHABETIZE ME 2012. I started it on the orange clothesline's FB page last night, asking for some help. I would love to hear your input. I need to come up with words that best describe ME, one for each letter of the alphabet. I am going to do an alphabet book about myself, digging through all of the "old, new and anything in between" photos of me :) What do ya think? Sounds fun, doesn't it?
How fun will it be, years from now to look back on it? Not to mention for my kids someday, even grandkids to look at it?
Of course I'll show you my digital scrapbook pages in progress along the way! I've already got some fun words to get me started. But I'd love your help!
Email me at theorangeclothesline@gmail.com with some words that you feel describe me or click on over to my FB page and share there. I'd love to hear your thoughts :)

2-Page Spreads
Do you ever run into this? You have so many pictures from a sport season and you feel overwhelmed? You want to add them, but don't want 14 pages of one sport? I believe this is the best way to go about it - pick all your faves, go ahead! Just collage them!
Another cute way to do a 2-page spread, split some pictures right down the middle :)

Why do I digital scrapbook?
If for no other reason, this is why I digital scrapbook! I created this page, originally for our FAMILY album, then "imported" it into each of our kids albums and moved some things around and whammo, in a matter of minutes have individual pages in minutes! Imagine the time this would take to do traditionally?? I LOVE DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING!
