My husband asked me the other day if I was ever done with my scrapbooking...I just laughed and said NO! He said he couldn't handle not finishing. I said that's the best part, always new pictures and stuff to buy! :D
 
LOL My husband is kind of the opposite. He'll look through a book and tell me all the LO's I still need to make hehe Like "Oh you only have one page about *insert trip/event*? I can't believe you aren't scrapped blah blah blah...." Which in my defense, I probably HAVE scrapped it, just not printed it... but that's a whole different topic...

I don't ever want to be finished or caught up though. I'm with you- more pictures and fun kits are the best parts!
 
Yes, yes!! I agree.. I do get into lulls and get scrapper's block, then I get super excited and can't stop scrapping.


I just finished our Italy album and now I'm sitting here like... hmmm, now what? lol!
 
Oh, yes...I'll NEVER be done!!! I'm not a chronological scrapper...so when I look at photos I can't believe some of the ones I find that haven't been scrapped!

I mean, if you're looking for extra stuff to scrap... I've got a couple of Paris trips you can use :P
 
TOTALLY agree. When I ran out of pix, I started scrapping ones hubby took. Then I resolved to take more pix so I have some of my own to scrap too. :D
 
I have way to many trips and pictures of my kids from when they were younger to ever be "done". I have slowed down with my photography, but my sister just had a baby so I have pictures of my niece to scrap now too.
 
I will never, ever, ever, be done.

I am lucky to ever even finish a single event properly. I have dozens of trips that are part way done and thousands of pictures to scrap. Then I find myself rescrapping the same ones because they are so adorable.

Then my kids take amazing pics. This is from a once-in-a-lifetime trip my son and DIL took. They camped here! I could scrap the pics from that trip for the rest of my life and never finish with the good ones. I didn't link any of the pics below so you don't feel like you have to comment :)

Then there are the grandkids - cutest ones in the world! I have a gazillion pics of them...and I have two more on the way!

And a husband who is in lots of plays with lots of costumes - these are only a few of the thousands of pics I have of him:

and a daughter who has had an interesting career - and I have a million pics to show for it - this is just a fraction.

Then there are always events and heritage stuff!

No, I will never ever be done in my lifetime.
 
I remember the gorgeous Cinderella and all the beautiful LOs you did of her
 
I will never be done, I never get tired of scrapping, and I have a large family, so will never run out of photos to use..... I will scrap until my body wears out.... Hope I have a few years before that happens... My family loves seeing what I come up with next, and they are always sharing photos they think would be great for a layout... LOL

It’s the journey not the destination that matters right? Being “done” doesn’t appeal to me at all.

How sad it would be if we were "DONE!" Although, having said that, it would be nice to get a trip or an event completed :) I am so impressed with EMSCRAPS Italy album.

I feel the same way! I actually finished my daughter’s wedding album (the one for her, not the one for me that I’m working on) and I felt such a sense of accomplishment! I will never be done, but it’s nice to actually finish something once in a while :)
 
There is this little place in my mind that wants to be done. Would be amazing to be scrapping last weeks photos and flipping through dozens and dozens of albums. But I kinda like living life and scrapping about it later. I am currently working on pages from our trip to Japan in 2017 and have enjoyed revisiting those great memories. Super fun coming back to pictures of my now grown kids as babies and seeing those little faces in the faces of their kids.
So yes, would be nice to be "caught up" but I enjoy this not caught up also.
 
I feel like I haven't even properly started! :) and with cell phone cameras , being done is history!
