SCRAPBOOKING 101?
NO IT'S MORE LIKE SCRAPBOOKING 1 OF 12.

WHAT WAS I THINKING???
SOME TEN YEARS AGO, AS THE OLDER GRANDKIDS STARTED GRADUATING, I DECIDED IT WOULD BE FUN TO MAKE EACH ONE A SCRAPBOOK OF THE EXCITING TIMES WE HAD TOGETHER. ELISE CHOSE TO SPEND MANY DAYS HERE, SOMETIMES INTO THE WEE HOURS OF THE NIGHT, WORKING ON HER OWN. SHE'S EVEN STARTED A SECOND ONE.,(something I won't be doing). ALONG WITH SCRAPBOOKING, COMES TAKING MORE PICTURES. THE YOUNGER GRANDKIDS HAVE ENDED UP WITH MORE PAGES AND LESS YEARS IN THEIR SCRAPBOOKS. OUT OF ORDER, PROBABLY BECAUSE OLIVIA HOUNDED ME MORE :) , I AM JUST FINISHING UP SOPHIA'S ALBUM. I'VE LEARNED, IF I'M GOING TO FINISH IT, IT HAS TO STAY OUT ON THE TABLE. THUS, BARELY ROOM TO SIT AND HAVE BREAKFAST, AND AN OCCASIONAL DINNER. (It would be telling a story if I said that was the reason we eat dinner out a lot) ASIDE FROM THE MESSY TABLE, IT'S BEEN FUN RELIVING THE YEARS THAT HAVE GONE BY TO QUICKLY. I'VE HAD THOUGHTS OF HANDING DOWN ALL MY EQUIPMENT, BUT THEN WHAT WOULD I DO WHEN THE GREAT GRANDS START COMING? |
WOW!!! I am impressed! I have done two (certainly not to the extent yours are) and can't imagine doing twelve. Hope your grands appreciate and feel the love (okay and maybe a little frustration) that has gone into those. Yes you need to keep all that equipment for "Scrapbooking the next generation"!
