It's All Over But The Binding

I'm happy to report that I am now 99% finished with Weston's scrapbook. All I lack is his one-year picutre (which I don't want to put in until I can replace it in the frame with the 15-month picture) and binding it. I think it turned out rather marvelous, if I may be so bold. And it has been so much fun! I can't believe my little baby boy has gotten so big!

The next scrapbook adventure will be a mother/daughter effort of our trip to Vegas. And my role will mostly be a supervisory one. Ruth took all her own pictures and collected her own souveniers. I will just be helping her make some sense of everything and making sure that she doesn't cut or glue anything that shouldn't be. I'm excited to see where our combined creativity will take us.

Playing Catch-Up

I want to report that I am making progress on Weston's scrapbook. I am just about to put in his 3-month picture, which means I'm only about 6 months behind--if you don't count all the scrapbooking I didn't do between the time Ruth was one and now. I'd say overall, I'm on the right track. Scrapbooking is just one of my favorite things and with my new desk, it is really a joy instead of a burden. If only the seelf-cleaning function on my house weren't perpetually broken, I would have a lot more time for my hobby!

A Place For Mandi

Tonight I finally got around to creating a scrapbook desk just for me! Everything is nicely labeled and organized and easily accessible. It is to be my haven, my refuge. Here, great bursts of creativity will take place and beautiful scrapbooks will be created. Ideally, of course. I now feel inspired to start on Weston's scrapbook, and I will certainly do that very soon. I do not delude myself into thinking it will be as grand as Ruth's, but I do hope it will be something he and I can both be proud of.
