Addicted


Ok, I will admit it. I am slightly addicted to scrapbooking. I haven't even done that much, but I wish I could do it all the time. I always wanted to be a scrapbooker, so I always kept everything, but I never actually finished anything. It started when I received Wedding shower and Baby shower scrapbooks from Dusten's mom. Those were the only ones I finished and they were small and covered only a short time period, so it wasn't that bad. Then Dusten's Aunt Brenda got me a baby scrapbook for Caroline's first year. She is a CM consultant and so in the end it's really all her fault. While I was on Maternity leave I actually had time to get all my pictures organized, CDs burned and work on her scrapbook. I only have 3 pages of her scrapbook left for the pictures I have printed. I have 7 more pages I want to do and then I will have to do it as the year goes on. I have learned that it is a lot easier to do things as they happen instead of stockpiling it to do all at one. Too bad I didn't have that figured out when I was in high school, because I have a whole tub full of stuff in the basement that is from high school. I just wish I had more time (and more money, of course) to do all the books I want to do. I'd like to do a scrapbook of D and I growing up--like a 2 page spread per year. One page for him and one page for me per year. This will take a long time, because I will have to go through all my pictures, scan them, and then print new copies. So many ideas, so little time...
