LOAD, LOAD, LOAD! Yes, you heard it here. I LOVE blog hops and I was so excited when I read the email call for blog hop participants for LOAD. So start with Lain Ehmann's Layout a Day blog first, if you haven't already and make your way through the list. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome!
LOAD 211 is only a week away and I started getting my foundation ready early. Knowing that LOAD was quickly approaching, I took advantage of a 99 photos for 99 cents sale at snapfish.com at the beginning of the year. So keep an eye out for sales like that on the many photo sites. I always start with the pics. Don't have your photos yet? That's ok. Take the time to get some real journaling down. Who says you need a photo to scrapbook a page? Not me!

Next I shop my stash. I have so many great papers and kits that I have no need get new stuff. The only thing I plan to buy is adhesive. I think I have enough already, but better safe than sorry. I would rather have a little more than not enough. And glue never goes out of style! I have my Michael's coupons and heading over this week.

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like I need an iPad to prepare for LOAD, right? I better get on that! (Sorry I reposted so you would know who I am.)
ReplyDeleteFeeling the iPad envy over here! I suspect I'm not the only one!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Danielle on the whole journalling thing - thanks for the reminder! See you in the gallery!
Such a good idea to filter your e-mail! Looking forward to seeing you over in the group :)
ReplyDeleteI too am feeling the iPad envy! Love the photo, the excitement is building! See you in the gallery!
ReplyDeleteSigned up and ready to go.
ReplyDeleteFun photo!
ReplyDeleteCan wait to get started... see you there!

We have a lot in common, apparently. I stocked up and took advantage of that Snapfish deal too. Ready to go and getting more excited with every hop stop.
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo, bring on February 1!! I don't think I've scrapped since the May LOAD, so I've got a lot of catching up to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder to stock up on adhesive ~ somehow I always seem to forget that one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good tips. Especially adhesive and pictures! I have all my pictures on the comptuer and if I fail to get them printed, then I have to do a digi LO, not so bad - no clean up, but I need to get back to paper scrapping and use some of my stash!!!! Great blog and thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteWow - great deal on your photos. You can't beat 99 photos for 99 cents. Can't wait to see your creations in the gallery.
ReplyDeleteLove that photo! We're going to have fun!
ReplyDeleteSee you in February!
What a fun photo...if you have a bunch of these lying around, then you are ready to ROCK the month of LOAD! See you on Flickr soon.
ReplyDeleteAll great tips Brooklyn Girl - I can't wait to see you at LOAD 2/11

I am so glad I found this hop...I wasn't sure if I wanted to try LOAD...but you all have made it sound so awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat LOAD blog hop. I need to stock up on my adhesives, I think I have enough to start, but may need some mid month. Better order now though. Thanks for the tips.
ReplyDeletean email filter> sounds like something I need to figure out how to do! thanks for sharing your tips!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips. I'm enjoying the hop.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see all you create!!! See you in the Flickr gallery!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice. Looking forward to my 2nd LOAD!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for my 6th round of LOAD!!
ReplyDeleteHopping thru! Good to hear another person shopping their stash. (Although...that's usually my plan but sometimes I get a bit "derailed") Can't wait to see your LOs w/ Ethan. He looks like a total character, as my mom would say :) Heidi (aka move4life)
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! And if the prompt calls for a memory that I don't have a picture for I'll remember your blog!

ReplyDeleteI'm so looking forward to LOAD...counting the days! You have an iPad??? I'm so jealous!
ReplyDeleteWow - I got excited just reading your post - LOL! You are super prepared and will probably do more than a layout a day! Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteSanta brought an iPad this way too! I'm looking forward to having it sit in my scrap space so I can be connected to LOAD 211 over at Flickr while I scrap! WooHoo!
