We have decided to go ahead and have an in-person open house for Gabe, after all, but I started this blog to share his albums, and I will finish! š We have plenty of family out of town and out of state, who won’t be able to attend, anyway. So hopefully this blog will stillContinue reading “School Portraits Album Flip-through”

Flip through Gabe’s first scrapbook with me!
So far, I have only shared digital scrapbook layouts that I have created for Gabe over the years ā but I scrapbooked most of his youngest years in paper form. These layouts are housed in bulky albums with individual pages covered with page protectors. This format makes them a bit of a pain to shareContinue reading “Flip through Gabe’s first scrapbook with me!”
I miss seeing that smile
Journaling for a scrapbook page to be created some day in the future This is a smile I love to see. I wish we could see it more often. It’s not that you are an unhappy child or that you are frequently grumpy. You are not. It’s just that fewer things in life seem toContinue reading “I miss seeing that smile”
Why we decided to raise you in a small town: A letter to my children
The first layout I created for my “Letters to My Children” album was a one about why my husband and I decided to raise our kids in the small town in which we both had been raised ourselves … despite mildly despising it while we were in high school.

Letters to My Children: The start of something important (at least to me)
I have this irrational fear that I am going to die in some sort of traumatic accident before I have a chance to tell my children everything I want to tell them. A pleasant thought, I know. I have always thought I would make a scrapbook full of all of this kind of “stuff” toContinue reading “Letters to My Children: The start of something important (at least to me)”
My two cents: Is scrapbooking dead?
I have to admit it: The future of scrapbooking seems to be limited. Yep, I said that out loud. In public. For the world to see. Today, Becky Higgins and Cathy Zielske posted on Facebook a link to a Studio 5 production called “Is Scrapbooking Dead?” that will air tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 14. My gutContinue reading “My two cents: Is scrapbooking dead?”
Lately…
Lately I have been a bad blogger. Lately I have been an even worse scrapbooker. But I have taken photos. LOTS of photos. And I wonder when I’ll get around to scrapping them. Lately I have been spending less time scrapbooking and blogging and designing stuff for scrapbooking and doing much of anything but workingContinue reading “Lately…”
