Finally some scrap therapy...

I have been scrapbooking this week! I started on Sunday with a page for Halle's baby book and now I have 5 total done....yes! you heard me right, 5! The first one took the longest because I am somewhat out of practice and when you are working on a baby book for your precious daughter who is more excited about the book than anyone, then you want things to be done right the first time. This may never happen again. (Sorry Caleb) Without further ado, I would like to thank my sister for inspiring me with her kits-they are genius-especially for people like myself who never make it shopping outside or on the web, and who don't live near any great scrapbook stores-not even an Archivers or a Hobby Lobby. Target is about it, and of course I do frequent it. I also want to thank my mom for her patience to help me with the sewing machine so I could sew on a page-I totally loved it and will be doing some more of that! I only have pictures of the 1st 3 pages so far-my camera battery died......here they go

Thanks for all the encouragement! I am inspired by your incredible talent as well Mandy. I think you and Heidi are to blame for me getting back into all of this(starting back in April). Thanks because I am taking more pictures than ever and telling the story only I can tell. Hehe. Love you.

holly,
these pages/pictures are adorable. i am so so sad that i never made any actual baby book pages...just notes of this and that....poor heidi didn't get anything but pictures. i'm glad that things have changed and that you have blogs and photojournals to capture life as it happens.
keep it up--those are some great pages!
