Look what I accomplished.
I have the scrapbook bug. I haven’t got this much done on my scrapbooks in quite a while.
These pages are for Isaac’s personal book. The book he will take when he leaves home.
…and because I didn’t want to make them lug many many books when they leave I only scrap 5 spreads a year for each child.
Here is how I scrapbook:
Family books for me and Jonathan, with every memory and picture recorded. I now even include my blog entries in these books.
Baby books from newborn to one for each of the kids. I include these pages in our family album to keep for myself.
Season albums for the kids from one to college.
Season albums include: A spread(meaning to pages adjacent to one another) for: summer, w inter, spring, fall, and birthday. These pages highlight the most significant events for each season. This helps to cut down on the amount of scrapbooking I have to do. I also had visions of handing my son’s new wife all his albums for the last 2 decades and watching her croak when she had to find somewhere to store them in her little newlywed apartment. See, sometimes I do think ahead.
Can you believe I got 4 spreads or 8 pages done? I can’t. My kids must have been really good this weekend. Actually I planned ahead, and made sure they had something to do. I will fill you in on what that was tomorrow.

I got one page done this weekend. ONE!! Picasa was driving me crazy. This will help me with some ideas though. I seem to do the same thing over and over again, now I can just copy you.
Seriously, I love your approach to scrapbooking! I don't have kids yet, but I always wondered how I would handle who gets what page, ha! And I am so in love with your "Oh Happy Day" page. It is gorgeous!
Looks like you had some fun! Cute, cute pages.
I love all of your pages!! Now I am so behind on 365 that I have to find time and motivation to catch up on all those pages!! Good job, they look amazing!!
I LOVE the pages that you designed!
I have always wanted to do digital scrapbooking, but haven't ever learned. I know photoshop, so I keep thinking that it shouldn't be tooo difficult for me to learn.
I'm not sure how I would manage to do that AND blogging though! (I have a hard enough time updating my blog with any regularity! Trying to do better though! :)

Oh THANK YOU Andrea! After three years of trying to figure out digital scrapbooking, I finally kind of have it figured it out, and the past couple of weeks I have been sooo overwhelmed thinking HOW can you possibly scrapbook everything for each kid?! This is a great idea and helps me feel just a little less overwhelmed!:)
Of course I remember you. I stop by and check on your fam now and then, what a gorgeous family you have! Glad to see you doing so well!
I love love love these! Where are you getting your cute kits?? I love the banners.
