Where is this years 4x8 layout?   or is it to be released in next months issue?   Could have sworn it was always released in the December issue.

Wolfie, there is no such thing as an "annual 4 by 8". Kalmbach usually has a layout project starting in the December issue, but maybe this time it´ll start at a later date.

I don't know why, but I love the project layout series every year.

.

They never really interest me, or are relevent to anything I am doing, but I sure do enjoy reading about them.

That's how it is with me, too.

Perhaps it's because I get to "build" a layout without doing any work or spending any money.

Perhaps yes.  I could be mistaking, the last one I remember was a 4x6 Eagle Creek or something.  Maybe I skipped year, you know they go by so fast. 

Manly yes but I like it too.

PS  I'm sure somebody got it. It was an old 1970s Irish Spring commercial. A little humor on a Friday night.

The most recent project "layout" was an 4x5 extension to everyone's favorite 4x12 project layout... the beer line and I figure that they have one more beer line edition planned for the future.
