Memories
I was going through my old scrapbook supplies looking for Christmas paper and stickers for the kids, while looking through half done pages and old photos I was reminded of how much I enjoyed scrap booking. I also love looking through my old scrapbook albums and reading the captions of how I experienced everything. I haven’t done any since Briana was born, with the second baby it just became impossible to sit down and allow my creative juices to flow. Now is a different story, nearly 4 1/2 years later, the kids are more independent and easily entertained. Lately, I have picked up sewing again along with knitting. I have also tried to incorporate more craft time with the kids. So, I have decided to pick up Scrap booking right after the new year.
I tend to remember the not so pleasant moments of my mothering career, seems like the pages I have scrapped remind me that there are plenty of wonderful moments that supersede the bad. I love returning to things once forgotten.
Now, how do I convince hubby to give me a scrapping allowance :-)

I’ve been thinking about getting back into too. I guess as the kids get older you want to hold onto the memories? I will probably wait until after school though. Love the “snow” btw. :o)
