My first date towards my goal in January has already been set thanks to the photographer I didn't even want to talk to. There are opportunities around every corner, we just have to see them!

Perhaps your goal is to organize your photos, begin a new scrapbook album or finish an old one. Whatever your scrapping goals are this new year, remember to acknowledge even partial success.

Getting your photos out from boxes under the bed and onto a few scrapbook pages is cause for celebration, even if your original goal was to finish the entire book. Keep in mind that missed due dates might simply mean that your plan may have been too aggressive or your environment has changed; simply adjust your plan, continue to move forward and don’t give up!
