The Turn Of The Century

I think I am certifiably crazy.

Back in 1999 I decided to work on a small project that I thought would be super fun to look back on and reflect upon.  I took pictures of our life at the turn of the century.  Gas prices, movie marque, grocery stores, cars, our street, our house, the kids, our clothes, routes around town, made lists of what was in and what made news in 1999.  I even had clippings of the dozens of Y2K nonsense that had us all drawing cash out of the bank on December 31st.

In early 2000 I completed the mini-album.

However, in the next couple of years my scrapbooking did a 180 and I found the original project simple and dorky looking.  So, I set upon redoing the album complete with another set of photographs (I used to develop duplicates back then).

Then, when we moved in 2004 I decided that the project, completed now twice, still was not up to the style of scrapbooking I had grown accustomed and decided that it would be a project I would work on while we waited for our house to be built.

That third attempt never got completed in 2004.

It sat in my to-do basket for almost eight years.

Then, last month I decided I was going to finish it once and friggin for all.  I don't care how simple, how dorky, how lame, how uncool the album was going to turn out...I was NOT going to ever redo it again.

What is my problem? (Don't answer that.)
