I'm a little sinner!
Most of mine are all ongoing as I tend to scrap randomly from the 30 odd years of photos I have.
I recently decided that it was too difficult to keep track if I did themed albums so altered them all to chronological dates. So I now have
10 12x12's covering dates from 1981 (when my first DD was born) to now.
4 holiday albums (only one complete),
a christmas album (on going) my DD's wedding album
a heritage album.
I have given away 5 mini albums and taken part in 3 circle journals.
Plus I have started Shimmells christmas album 8x8 and another 8x8 for my wedding photos.
Oh and a box full of LO's that havent made it into the albums yet either LOL

i have made about 10 Mini albums in the last 2 months.
I'm addicted to them, everyone who has recieved one loves how cute they are.
they are made like the "my space" ones from this site.
I add ribbon and lace to them.

I've not done anywhere near as many as some of the ladies on here!
Completed albums:
One 12"x12" as a 21st birthday present for my best friends daughter. Pretty much from when she was born up to her 21st.
Take That Beautiful World tour 12"x12 album. A LO for every song in the concert-some were double LOs.
Two 12"x12"albums of my cats, one for each of them.
4 mini chipboard albums for each of my tour buddies for the Beautiful World Tour- they all have a different fave Take That bloke which made it a lot easier for me to do!
Incomplete 'themed' albums:
Take That The Circus Live Tour 12"x12"- a work in progress, not as structured as the last one as it will 'flow more' throughout the pages.
My Circus Tour 8"x8"- only done a couple of pages in it so far, just a personal
record of the shows and places I went and the friends I went with.
Leicester City/football album- LOs of special games, trophies, other stuff about the sport and team I love.
other random albums not yet full(all 12"x12"):
One each for my cats.
One for concerts/shows/events.
One for places I've been or love in the UK.
One for family and friends.
One for random stuff, like favourite things etc.

oooohhhhhhhh
went to count the number of finished 12x12 albums on my book shelves
23
and many more still in progress
just like Topsy "they growed and growed"
they vary from Heritage / Family tree
Holidays
year books starting from 2000 some years have 2/3 albums
and others such as "Renovating a classic car"
I've given 8x8 albums to my 4 grandchildren An "A.B.C."of you when they start school
3 more in progress.
and done many circle journals and mini books
but I am retired from work and have been doing this a long time (started 1st album in 1998), so have had lots of space and time.
I tell my grandchildren its what I do to "while" away the hours and think of you until I can play with you again.

in the year books are all the events, family gatherings and photos of our daily lives.
I've just looked at the one I'm doing now its 2008.
It starts with a visit with my Grandsons to Wentworth castle,we had made the boys shields with their crest on them, so lots of photo ops of Knights ,castles and crests.
then in Feb I went on a scrap weekend with my team (scrap shoppin' girls) and Kirsty Wiseman came and did a photo shoot of us, and we took lots of silly fun photos to scrap.
Feb half term I'm at Centre Parcs with my grand daughters
one grand daughter as a snow flake in the school play.
and doing her hostess badge at Brownies
I did Shimelle's challenge and photographed every thing we did 25th day of the month
My 1st year book was done for the Millenium year, it contains contributions from all the family,everyone has a double page telling their likes hobbies etc.
starts on New Years Eve 2000 (even has a record of the family games we played that night)
it was presented to my oldest grandaugher at the family new years eve party the following year as she had been the youngest person present, and is now the keeper of the album.
She is so proud and is so serious about telling her children of how we lived and what we did in the year 2000.
you think that every year will be the same with the same events, birthdays etc, but its not. All the books look very different, other events happen, scrapping styles change,people come and go, new hobbies new challenges.
I hope you enjoy your scrapping and if you do a year book that you get as much pleasure from it as I have done.

7 albums x 30 page protectors x 2 = 210 LO's
3 albums x 20 page protectors x 2 = 60 LO's
less a few gaps still to scrap. Probably about 250 LO's filed chronologically.

I have now completed one whole 12 x 12 scrapbook :-) The contents are a bit random at the moment, eventually I hope to have a book for son from birth, one for daughter from birth, one of hub and I in the 80s, one for the years that we spent holidaying in our motorhome, and one for this year's holiday. That lot will keep me busy over the coming winter months LOL!
