Since I wrote about Menu Planning last week, I am committing now to post my weekly plans here on my blog. I'm doing this so that 1) I know that I will have them ready to go and 2) others may find some ideas too. I am also going to link to Orgjunkie's Menu-Plan Monday where more than 300 gals link to their menu-plans. There's lots of inspiration so no more excuses! Let's get going!Project 365: I missed one or two days taking photos but took fill-in photos of things that happened that day later on. My Project 365 album is current up to the middle of April and I just have to get photos from the last couple of weeks developed and added in. I LOVE THIS PROJECT and will enjoy looking back on it down the road!

The Creativity Project: Lisa Day says "...be creative with your thoughts and your actions. See everyday as a new adventure. Start each morning with the thought “what can I do that’s fun and creative today?” Totally uplifting! So for me this project is more about thinking about and focusing on creativity as opposed to making something every day. In this spirit, I have been revisiting some of the books I used when I taught art and journaling about creativity as much as I can.
My BPS Library of Memories Class continues for another few weeks, but I now have the past 8 years of photos sorted and stored in storage binders; favorite photos have been pulled, sorted and stored in category boxes and 4 out of 7 boxes of memorabilia have been sorted, purged and organized for use on upcoming layouts. Pretty good work if I do say so myself!
Finally, today is the first day of the Spring Cleaning Party over at Simple Mom. In just two weeks I will have this place overhauled and deep cleaned and ready for the spring and summer! We got a great start on the weekend by cleaning and organizing the garage - a much needed and long overdue task - so now I am in the zone to get the house done too. I will report progress in the next few days.
Alright already...enough blogging for today! Have a great one!
Happy Scrapping!

Looks like you had a busy day! I saw your link at orgjunkie, and I stopped on by. I've started scrapbooking some of my recipes--if you want to check them out, they are at http://nvscrapper.wordpress.com. My menu plans are here on blogger, though. Good work!
ReplyDeleteHey! I spent some time this past weekend doing the exact same thing. I purged my recipe file and divided them up into the following categories: Meal Plans, Soups, Quick Fixes, Recipes to Try, Preplanners, Baking, Dips/Appies/Marinades, Other.
ReplyDeleteIt felt so great to go the grocery store to pick up exactly what I need for the week along with a few staples and then to know what I was making for dinner at 5pm instead of staring into my freezer and pantry. Now if only I could get my office and new scrap space organized!
You've got a great looking menu! I love menu planning so much I'd be completely lost without it! Thanks for stopping in at my blog!
