scrapbook more

Some days just thinking about getting all of my stuff out to scrapbook and then having to clean it up again keeps me from actually doing it. I used to scrapbook with a friend and I always would get a lot done with her, but she lives too far away now. Hopefully this winter I’ll be able to get more of it done. My son’s already 13 and I’m still working on his baby pictures !!

I have put this creative part of me aside for some time now and would like to pick it back up. I think being in college for so long has in some way made me less attentive to my long-term goals such as keeping a journal and making scrapbooks.

My goal is to make a page a week. The theme doesn’t have to be something I’ve done, or seen. It can be anything from a list of things I love, to a sketchbook drawing, to a small detail from life. Making use of my camera would be ideal, but I shouldn’t let it hinder on my scrapping capabilities!

I have an “Inspiration Wire” hanging in my art corner to further remind me to clip these pages up for viewing!

I love to scrap but never have the time. Right now I have about 4-5 incomplete books. I really need to commit to one and finish it.

So with my firstborn I have a scrapbook for each year of her life. Then came baby #2. I have taken the pictures. I have put them in a box. And there they sit. I’ve been trying to lose weight also and like many people I struggle most at night so I’ve decided to catch up on my scrapbooking for my son’s sake and also because keeping busy in the evening may keep me from the kitchen. My goal is to get his 2nd scrapbook finished by the end of Feb.

Yesterday my mom and I got together again. It was nice to get some more done.

So today I actually accomplished 3 pages. My mom came over and I helpt her get started. She got one page done. We are talking about getting together weekly to scrapbook. I think its a great idea because its something I want to get alot done before the little one comes.

I got a page done in one of my albums today

I now have 3 scrapbooks ready to record my children’s growth. Hoping to do this as DS2 grows, as I only have 2 months of his life to catch up on and I can do pages for the others at about the same age at the same time. I spent time yesterday sorting through the photos so I am ready to start. I just need to print out photos of the baby!

This Saturday!!

I scrapped this weekend with my Auntie :)
