do you remember THIS POST of mine from about a month ago? it was such a great idea. to capture a photo of my island once a week, to show what's going on at the time. apparently i didn't keep up so well on this idea. but i do have 2 photos. and since only a month has passed, that's not so bad.

this was around the second week of january. i couldn't post this photo at the time, because i had my not-yet-seen making memories products that i wasn't able to share with you yet. that is seriously the hardest part of this job. having goodies and working on projects, and then not being able to share for a few weeks or even months. anyways. i was working with the new MM panorama collection, and making some sample layouts. i also have some of my jillibean soup projects up there. i have a pile of paperwork, 2009 planner, and an envelope of receipts for tax stuff. my project 365 album is sitting there, to work on. and i see alyssa's binder.

fast forward 3 weeks, and this is what my island looks like today. project 365 album is still sitting there, still waiting to be worked on. the paperwork and tax stuff is still there, but now resides in that black basket. a pile with a hero arts catalog that i need to order from, my magazines for my giveaway, and my planner for my scrapbook stuff. a crayon box, and pile of markers that are left over from alyssa working on a science project posterboard last week. i keep asking the girls to put them away, but no one's listening i guess. a webkinz doggie that haley grabbed from sarah's room one morning. i keep asking that the dog goes back upstairs too, but still a no-go. a baseball, that i have no idea why it's in the house. but nikolas was trying to throw it, and that didn't seem like such a great idea. a pair of my pajama pants, since i don't have access to my bedroom during the day (joe works nights, and sleeps all day). sometimes i have to stick my jeans in the dryer for a bit, when they get too loose. lol! and scrapbook related? all the other stuff. i have the new making memories lovestruck collection out, and am making some little projects that i'm going to share on my blog next week.

    Hey Laura!
    It’s nice to see your work in progress. I do the same thing on my desk…make piles of all the different projects going on at once. Too funny!
    Loved seeing your projects around lately…on blogs, CHA booths, magazines. So fun!

    Hello Laura,
    Glad to see your table looks like mine but a little neater. I have 4 stacks then pictures and paper spread out all over, most of it for Project Life. Eventually it gets neaten up but slowly over a couple weeks becomes a mess again. Thanks for sharing what you are working on.

    Looks like you have a lot of fun in this spot. I could see why you want to photo each week. To remember the details of life around your island.

    It’s great to see you still use your island! I would just love having all that space to spread out & be able to jump back & forth between things without cleaning it up.

    I love your blog posts. You are such a talented scrapper but I love seeing pics of your works in progress and your posts always just seem so down to earth. I can totally relate to the “can’t get clothes cause my hubby is asleep thing”. My hubby works nights too and some days I just forget to take my clothes with me in the morning and end up in my jammers all day long.

    I totally love your island! As far as the stuff goes, it looks like my own dining room table sometimes, including the tax stuff, miscellanious toys that the kids won’t put away, right down to the pajama pants 🙂
