Fear

I think FEAR is one of the things that's keeping me from scrapbooking more.

Fear of:
Messing up
Not being perfect
Using the "cute" papers (you all know what I'm talking about here)
Cutting up the pictures by mistake

BUT I've been thinking (yeah, I do it on occasion) that perfection is overrated and that the main purpose of scrapbooking is so that my daughter can look back and know more about me, about herself, her roots, her family. And I seriously hope she won't look at the layouts of me at 39 weeks pregnant and think: Wow! mami was FAT!, instead of: Wow! my mami looks HOT! or even Mami looks happy and I can't believe she made the sacrifice of waiting for me for 41 (yeah! 41!) weeks for me to come out of her belly only to find out her belly stayed the same size. But I digress.

I don't like New Year's resolutions- must be the fact that by January 2nd I have already broken them, but this year I made a few resolutions and darn it I'll try my best to keep them.

Scrapbook more
Worry less
Go to the gym
Eat better
Not get discouraged if I don't lose weight
Laugh more
Argue/fight less (John's dream come true)
Enjoy each and every moment I spend with Sophia and John
Not give a rat's-you-know-what about what other people think about me (I'm doing really good on this one)
Be a better person
Get more in touch with my spiritual side

I dedicate this post to new and old resolutions.

Fear not my friend! There isn't a right or wrong way to scrapbook. Use up your supplies because you can always get more. Trust me, they will look better with pictures on them. I'm never satisfied with any of my LO one I've done them, but if I leave them and go back to them in a couple of days. I ask: Did I do that? Wow, que lindo!
