I like to think of myself as somewhat creative - but it tends to be more in theory than in action. One area where I had some great ideas and intentions was creating a scrapbook to commemorate our wedding in November 2009. I bought some of the crafts I needed, the actual book, some stickers, ordered lots of prints of our wedding photos, etc. But it is now April 2011 and I have yet to complete this scrapbook. I have a few good excuses - moving across the country, selling and buying a house, having a baby - but mostly I'm just afraid that my scrapbook won't live up to the dreams of what I think it should be.
I really admire those who can do this for a hobby, but I think my need for perfection has me scared to get the project done. This post will just have to serve as my motivation to finish it so I won't be embarrassed about it sitting in the closet.
I also have a big pile of pictures and items for Cotton's baby book - I have started that project and of course it will remain a work in progress as he grows and changes and reaches his milestones. But first I need to get my wedding project done!
So, the next time you talk to me or write to me, make sure you ask about my progress on the scrapbook. You may just guilt me into finishing what I already started.
