finish my scrapbook

I am so excited! I am done with all of the main pages I originally planned on, and even did something cute for the cover. I just have a couple of layouts I want to do for various themes: movies, cooking for each other, friends (maybe?), and I may replace one page that I am not too happy with by doing a page on Jason’s graduation party in its place. Sounds like a lot, but one more good session and this goal is D-O-N-E!!!! (It only took me about 8 years or so, but hey- who’s counting?) :) I will be ecstatic when this is complete!

I did another 1 1/2 pages last night! Just 2 1/2 to go plus some bonus pages or labels/finishing touches for miscellaneous leftover material.

Probably another night or two left!

At long last, I dusted off the scrapbook and tackled it yesterday—thanks to my awesome husband, that is! It was our 6 year wedding anniversary yesterday and rather than going out to eat and stuff, we went out for coffee and then headed home, put on some tunes, and got out the scrapbooking stuff and went to town on both our ‘dating’ scrapbook (the one this goal is for) and our honeymoon one- he worked on that one. I love that he can do that sort of stuff and not feel funny about it- I know a lot of guys wouldn’t even think of trying it, but he’s creative and open-minded. Two of the things I love about him!
So, I finished 6 more pages last night, and now I have 4 more to do (6 maximum) and it will be DONE!! :)

I found a pic in hubby’s memento bag from way back, so I scanned it and printed it—it came out way bigger than I wanted it to, but I can crop it.

So, everything is out on my craft table. I have 11 pages totally done. Need to do around 20-25.

Next step: get everything out and try to gather materials needed
Deadline: I want this ALL done by 11/14.

I just bought some new pens, and plan to buy a kit full of embellishments (need this because we don’t have a lot of photos, so we need some visual interest!) from Sam’s Club.

Jason and I want to start working on the scrapbooks again—good rainy day activity! Maybe we can set up a cardtable to work on the scrapbooks and Drew can make a fort underneath, or sit next to us and play playdough or color/paint with water, etc.

I finished another page today, continued to organize, and have another page almost done. No matter what, we’re talking it with us to read together… I can’t wait until it’s complete. It DOES make it so much easier working on it in front of him…

I still have a ways to go, but I’m much more organized on it now. I have about 7 of 22 pages done.

I can work on this while hubby is gone today. I hope to get a lot done on it. That remains to be seen.
