The Saturday Special- The Year in Review
Happy Saturday, All!! Tgmousechick Kim here with today’s Saturday Special!
I find the week between Christmas and New Year’s very interesting. It’s the week where the media does its summaries of the year: Fascinating people, big news stories, celebrities who passed away. It’s amazing how much can happen during a year, and I’m reminded of things that just seemed like they happened yesterday, and “wow, that happened just this year?”
So, this Saturday’s challenge is short and sweet- work on a page that summarizes your year. It can be a collection of news events that touched your life, or a summary of things you did with your family this year (or a combination). Perhaps it can be a page of some of your favorite pages you finished this year!
Here is the page that I put together:

This can be a fun project while you are organizing your photos for the past year- a task I plan to do this week. I organize my photos by year, and then by month, and any large events like a birthday or a trip some where get a folder of their own. And then I’m going to burn the whole deal to a couple of DVDs for storage. A previous blog post here, talks about backing up your photos. It’s something that should be done often, but can add a nice sense of completion at the end of the year.
A reminder on the monthly challenges (since this challenge counts for the points system):
Create your Year in Review page and post it in the Saturday Special challenges gallery on or before December 31st. And post it in the SM challenge forum here. When you do, you will receive one point for completing the challenge. You don’t have to use SM products, but we love it when you do! As a bonus if you use a NEW SM product that has been released within one week, you will receive an additional point! And there is no double-dipping. Each LO must be unique to this challenge (i.e. can’t use it again for another challenge).
***One Special Note: Since this is the end of the month, you have the option to post the layout by December 31st and have it count for December points, OR, you can wait until January to post it, and you can have the point count for January points. But no double-dipping there, either! ***
I hope you all had a lovely holiday celebration, no matter what holiday you celebrate! Let me be one of the first to wish you a happy New Year!!
