I have been scrapbooking!

I have been working on Keturah's scrapbook ever so slowly ever since she was born. I have as much time to scrapbook as I used to, but it is still very important to me, so I make time when I can. I'll try to get all of the housework done early (earlier) in the day and then scrapbook in the office with the children playing on the floor. Or, I may put the kids to bed early (earlier than usual) and then spend a quiet evening scrapbooking, especially if Dan is closing that night. I brew some coffee, put on some background sound (usually soft music) and pray that the children will give me some peace and stay in their beds... not invent reasons to get up... thereby requiring discipline. LOL Just kidding , sorta.

Her Birth Story

For my scrapbooking, I make a baby album for each child that includes their pregnancy and birth thru their first birthday. After that, they just become part of the regular family album, which I do by year. I am terribly behind, as are most scrappers, but I scrapbook chronologically for the most part. I don't have an album for birthdays and another for vacations... I have them all by year. One album for 2006, one for 2007, etc. So, if I want to see what Josiah looked like at his 6th birthday, I just go to the correct year's album.




About Dad getting to announce the still-secret gender!

These layouts are all from Keturah's baby album, which of course, if PINK! YAY, I get to scrapbook in PINK finally!!! Oh, how I love scrapbooking in green and pink. Some of the text has been blurred out for privacy, but only where necessary. Besides, I'm mostly sharing the pages, not the journaling!




I have a few more pages done also, but I ran out of CF card space on the camera, I'll repost the others later when I get more done. OH... and the bright spot are just from my camera's flash, I opted to take pictures of the layouts rather than scan each one, what a pain! And the 2 page layouts may look wonky here, but that's because I just "stitched" the two photos together so you could see them together.... they match up just fine in real life. Hee hee.
