Oh my sister in law and I are heading off the scrapbook convention in Portland OR. tomorrow.It is an annual tradition and I just can't wait we have been talking about it for days. OK I will be honest more like months. No I am not joking. I had a babysitter lined up three months ago.
Oh it's like Christmas for us scrapbookers. Everything imaginable can be found here. I am so excited I just can barely sit still. I just want to put the kids to bed now so tomorrow will come sooner. ( It's only 1:15 in the afternoon. ). Well I must go pack my lunch and make a check list for tomorrow. I just thought I would check in and say Hi.
OOOOH goodie the UPS man just came. New toys to play with.Gotta go

Ok Last One
Ok I had to do one more. I think I repeated a couple photos but it is so fun and easy to scrapbook this way. It does take all the creative process out plus you can't change the way a photo fits (or I don't know how to yet). Thanks for looking. Enjoy

Grandma Scrapbook
Hi sorry I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy. My wonderful Grandma passed away a few weeks ago and I have been busy dealing with some of the details of that. She lived to be nearly 96 and went very peacefully in her sleep. Her passing has taught me the true importance of scrapbooking and journaling in those books.
I often asked her is she had any photos of her as a child or of her family. She would just dismiss it and say " Honey we barely had money for shoes, we certainly didn't have money for pictures." However after she passed I discovered quite a treasure trove of photos in an old cardboard box (gasp!!!). Luckily the bulk of them were in incredible shape. But as the old saying goes "A picture is worth a thousand words" well that only applies if you know a bit about the photo. Grandma left me small clues by writing a bit on some of the photos. So I have managed to piece together some of her history. History I wish she would have shared when she was alive.
This is my first attempt at digital scrapbooking so the pages were just templates off of smilebox.com. Some of my scans aren't great but I know my siblings and cousins wanted to see some of the great photos. I will try to make a few more pages in a few days. The photos that I used were some of my favorites. It is truely amazing the shape they are in. I guess she must have found the only archivally safe cardboard box available.:) I hope you enjoy looking at them. Thanks.
Have a wonderful day and scrapbook those photos!!!!! Don't forget to journal too.
