I pushed through that last 3 months of 2012 because I needed to to check it off my list. I printed off all of the pictures from post Colorado to New Years Eve and put them vaguely in order and them into the pockets the pictures went. There are no embellishments, no stamps, no stickers. And I don’t care! I am so happy to have this done! The only thing I did do was back some of the pictures with extra patterned paper I had laying around. These pictures were the first set that I used the new Canon Printer and I tried to print my 3×4 at 2.9×3.9 (for the old Project Life protectors I was using) and for some reason some of the pictures printed properly and overs were much too big or much too small. So I used the paper to back those pictures to make the layout full and so you couldn’t see the the other pictures through the pockets. If that makes sense? That part drives me crazy, when the pictures do not line up, so this was my solution for that. I have used a few times in 2013 already and it just makes me happy. On to the pictures!
These were the last 2 weeks before we left for Colorado and I was so overwhelmed with work and life in general that I actually did this to soothe my need to stay up with Project Life before we left. I was going to post this back then but I had added some Thickers that I did not like and finally ripped them off the other night. I added in the dates because I thought that I would be able to just pick right up where I left off. The kraft circles with the heart and ring stamps are heat embossed with metallic silver powder.
The pictures are on the right are from Thanksgiving (the pictures of Steve and I posing together), my burnt hand, FaceTime with my Grandpa, and the Domo in my purse (I quit my job the Monday after Thanksgiving). The middle shows an example of how I backed the pictures with patterned paper. Then the pictures on the left are from our Colorado trip (October 2012) The bottom 4 pictures are my favorites from Colorado. These pictures are out of order and I am okay with it because the pictures will evoke the memories that I love so much in the years to come, and I don’t think I will mind that its out of order then, either. 
And that’s it! The last 2 layouts are actually in order Christmas and then New Years on the last page to round out the year nicely. I may go back and add some journaling, I may not. But for now, I have crossed this off the list!
