Triple 77-in-07

Well, what started out as wondering if I could complete 77 pages in 2007, will wrap up tonight at a potluck dinner at Remember Me, with my total reaching my personal goal of "Triple 77-in-07".

When the information was first posted as "Come join the 77-in-07 club" to see if you could reach that goal, I thought that there was no way that I would be able to do 'that many' pages. I have always been on the competitve side - not that this is a competition with anyone but yourself - but that works for me too.

I started keeping track as of January 1, 2007 and found that, during my holidays right after the New Year, I had managed to do 25 pages in a few weeks - I knew that doing '77' would not be a hard task.

So, last night I finished my 231st page since January - I have completed the better part of five 12x12 albums!! At this rate I might even catch up to myself - though if I continue taking pictures at the rate that I have been, there is no worry about that!!

Along the way, I have also completed three 6x6 albums, cards and numerous other small projects like my samples for the classes I have been teaching this fall.

Through all these projects, I have tried out a number of new techniques and become proficient in others and therefore grown as a scrapbooker. One of the things I love about scrapbooking is the changing products that are available that push you to try new and different approaches so that your albums don't ended up looking the same.

I feel good about reaching my personal goal - on to "88-in-08" - I wonder how many pages I can do in the next year?
