PROJECT 52 WEEKS Challenge
For me, scrapbooking is like exercising – I have to have lots of motivation and others to motivate me. This year – 2013 – I want to do a Project Life album / project. But, without motivation, I’m done before I even start! So, who wants to participate in a no-stress, no-cost, no-hassle challenge?
It will work something like this:
1. Each week you create a LO of your life—either using the Project Life album or a variation of your own design.
2. The first week will start on January 1st (Tuesday) and end on January 6th (Sunday). Subsequent weeks will begin on Monday and end on Sunday. You can create your LO any time during that week, as long as your picture is submitted by Sunday for that week.
3. Every Sunday, each participant will submit a picture of their LO of their week.
4. On Monday, I will post a picture of a prize that will be sent to the person who is randomly drawn from all the submissions – one submission per week.
5. Names from the previous week will remain in the prize draw. Winners names will be removed as they are drawn.
6. I may decide to do a “pop draw” like a pop quiz for the people whose names remain in the draw.
7. All you have to do is to create one LO per week and submit a picture of your weekly LO every Sunday.
8. Prizes may or may not be scrapbook related. On Monday I will post the prize for that week's draw (the following Monday).
9. In order to be eligible to participate, just become a Hodge Podge Goodies follower!
My goal with this challenge is to complete a one year – 52 weeks – album of my life. And to share this challenge with others who may want to partake in this endeavor also!
It's the eve of New Year's Eve, and I'm surfing through the TV channels where every channel has its 2012 list of this and that. Can it be? Has 2012 already come, and is almost history? Alas, the date on my computer says, "12/30/2012" so it must be true. My list of 2012 highlights (in no particular order):
- new job as a Reading Specialist
- moved to Puerto Rico with my husband and daughter for my job
- have seen, first hand, the amazing water that is the Carribbean
- said a heart-breaking farewell to our dog, Louis
- welcomed a new dog to the family -- Brandee, our lives will NEVER be the same
- learning to navigate being a working mom (and by working, I mean outside the home)
- learned to snorkel
- turned 40 in November
I'm sure there are have been more exciting things in 2012 for me but I can't remember them :-)
Cheers!

Escambrón Beach in San Juan, Puerto Rico
So, in the last six months I have gone from being depressingly unemployed to happily employed. I accepted a job with the DoD at Fort Buchanan in Puerto Rico in August. The Alatorre fam is now living the island life in sunny Puerto Rico. And so is the scraproom...now pared down to 1/2 of a spare bedroom that doubles as Dan's office. It's finally cleared off and more or less organized...and ready to scrap!!!
Here's a quick panoramic:
Sorry for it being blurry...
