What's your scrapbook organizational style?

Well, my baby turned four recently. She had a fabulously fun day, and we had a small party with three other little girls that was super girlie. We painted toenails! The same weekend, I finally ordered the photos of her 3rd birthday that I wanted to scrapbook. But, I haven't yet scrapbooked her second birthday! Leaving the issue of me being hopelessly behind in my scrapbooking aside for now, it got me thinking about organizational styles. Normally, I am pretty darn anal about chronological order. I'm also anal about co-ordination, matching and nice even layouts. I'm super linear. So to scrapbook a third birthday before a second? Yikes! But in this case, I came across a paper pack (Sophia) that matched the theme and photos I knew I'd taken perfectly. I was inspired by the layout in the Sophia Workshop on The Go and all of a sudden just wanted to work on that fun layout!
I have printed a billion photos of Cassie's second birthday (we took her to the Birds of Prey Centre and everything she did was so cute I got a little camera-happy) and honestly, there are so many of them now I don't know what to do with them all! So for now, I'm skipping to her third!!
But what's your organizational style? Do you work chronologically? Seasonally? Do the fun photos or occasions first? Work on whatever you're inspired by at the moment? I'd love to hear what works for you!!
