I haven't done this in awhile...

When I first started my blog, I posted several scrapbook pages that I was working on. I haven't done that in a long time. A lot of that has to do with the fact that I don't scrapbook as much now that I blog. I tell my stories here instead of there.

I was feeling down in the dumps this morning until I realized what I could work on. I have been wanting to print out some digital scrapbook pages I have made over the past 2-3 years. While I was finding the pages I had not printed, I also found a few pages that I started but didn't complete. It was fun to finish pages while I waited for pages to print. It was productive and easy - just what I needed. I have about 8 pages to add to my scrapbooks after a day of finishing and printing. It was great. It also helped that we finally have both computers working in here. Parker happily played computer games while I worked on my project.Several months ago I typed up all the events from my 2005 calendar. I decided to put that information on a scrapbook page but never finished it. Today I put on the finishing touches. It is fun to have this view of our life in 2005.
When Allie got home from school, she wanted to know how I got the scrapbook pages I had printed to look like they do. With a little help, she made her first digital scrapbook page this afternoon. Very funny pictures of Parker the summer he turned 2!
This is another page I started last year and finished today. I really like how it turned out.

Although I couldn't fathom finishing the laundry this morning, I happily conquered it this afternoon after my morning of "filling up". I need to remember that.
