Scrapbooking

I miss scrapbooking soooooooooo much ... really so so much ... I think about it all the time ...

I am not shy in saying I have made some absolutely amazing scrapbooks ... it utilizes so many of my talents in one project ... and the books that I have made are award worthy ... truly ...

Since we moved into this house I haven't made one ... part of it is there just isn't a place for me to set everything up ... in the condo I used to work on them at the coffee table and would leave my stuff out for weeks at a time working on them ... but back in the condo it was just D and I and it didn't matter if I left the stuff out ...

We moved in here while I was pregnant and I never really did a good job of making a place for everything ... it still looks like we recently moved in ... and with Curly Top around there just isn't a place for me to leave everything ...

Oh I am wrong ... when she was just a little baby I worked on a scrapbooking project that my message board was doing ... we each made the same page like 14 times and sent them to everyone so we all had one book with pages made by everyone ... and I busted those out in a weekend ...

My daughter is 2 and she doesn't have a single scrapbook made by me ... it is sad ... I had already made 2 for my niece by this time ...

I want a space ... an area where I can have all my scrapbooking stuff ... laid out to work on any time I want ... I want to be able to make them for my daughter ... to have and treasure for years to come ...

So my plan is to find a space in my home for my hobby and then make the time in my life to produce beautiful books for my family!!!

  1. I did more scrapbooking for my nephews and nieces than I did for my own son also. Likewise, time was the biggest factor. There should be a reciprocity law that requires the non-parents to scrap on our behalves now.
