Scrapbooking has been a hobby of mine since I was 16 (maybe even before)... The first actual book I have, the front page says "Welcome 1986" and talks about my sweet sixteen... That means that I've been scrapbooking for more than 1/2 of my life! phew... what I tend to do is go a few months with good intentions, collecting scraps of things, organizing pictures, getting things ready, and then finally, after several months, I finally get around to scrapbooking and it's a marathon session. So it has been for the past 4 days.
See, November in our house gets really crazy... First is Laughing Son's birthday, then Thanksgiving and a trip to the in-laws. Next comes all the wonderful frenzy that is Christmas time, with parties and extra things at school. Finally, there is Drama Queen's birthday four days before Christmas and finally the big day arrives.. Of course, then we have New Years and my birthday... So, within 2 1/2 months, we have LOTS to scrapbook, which is why, every year around this time I make sure to catch up on my books and this was the weekend.
You know, a friend says she's begun using online photo albums... you upload the pictures, choose layouts and then voila! they're printed and sent to your home... I'm considering doing that ... I made a 100 page book of pictures -starting with when Jethro and I got married and ending last fall - for each of the grands and great grandparents. They seemed to be big hits! Well, for the time being, I still have way too much invested in scrapbook supplies to go for that!
