The before picture (I'd love to say this is all that needs to be sorted....but that'd be a lie!)

Progress on this challenge has been slow...it seems that "life" just keeps getting in the way....HOWEVER....I did get my "sorting system" set up..

 

My helper stuck with me for almost 90 minutes before getting bored (and wandered off to get HIS scrapbook supplies to paw through!)

 

It is time to do chores, so everything is stacked up for the next session...

 

The after picture:

Down to 3.5 inches and these are all "packages" rom when I was selling Leaving Prints.

Are you kidding me???

It's been over a year since I posted here?!?  Shame, shame on me!

So here it is a new year...and just like last year, I have lofty goals.  Namely to get my bum in gear for both my 101 list and also, to be my scrapbooking both caught up and supplies used up, and the room straightened up!

Now last year I posted a "schedule".  We're going to actually do some of it!

The numbers of my 101 that I am going to accomplish this year in relation to my scrapbooking/photography:

#13 Learn my camera
#14 Blog at least 3X weekly (either here, wallacehomestead.blogspot.com, or on my personal blog)
#28 Scrapbook Weekend for friends
#31 Photo Inventory
#52 Scrapbook Days each month (I am going to loosely define a 'day' as 4 hours total in one day...or more)
#55 Send something in for consideration.
#74 "If I'm not here" Scrapbook for Boy.
#87 All pictures backed up and burned onto discs
#88 ROY B GIV Day
#91 Scrap with 'colie
#98 365 Project
#99 Scrapbook Plan in action.

Here we go!

The babies are bigger

And smellier!!!  So they have been moved as of today to the cellar....Here they are in their new home.

Our snowy farmstead.  It's bitterly cold and I am making 3 treks daily to the hen house (grey building in picture) and the big barn to make sure our animals have water to drink.  It's going to snow again tonight.  I love the peaceful look of everything covered with fresh snow....btw, did you know that chickens do not like walking on snow....I wouldn't want to either if I were barefooted!

New Additions to the homestead family!!

Robbie the Rabbit is the basis of our rabbit breeding program.  He will also be part of Boy's 4H project.

Project 365-day 1

We heat exclusively with wood now.  The temperature got down to 0* last night!
