Departure minus 2 weeks New Norfolk, Australia New Norfolk, Australia In two weeks we’ll be ready to go. It doesn’t seem real at all. I have 10 days of work left, during which I have to get a major project to the point that I can hand it over,...

I’ve been working on my Project Life a lot lately and haven’t been doing much ordinary scrapbooking.Today I decided to do something that I’ve been meaning to do for quite some time – start to put all my layouts into three-ring binders.Until now I’ve been using the “snap load”...
