I think it's ironic that National Scrapbooking Day ended up being right by my birthday which is when I learned about scrapbooking eleven years ago. This is the check where it all started...we found it years ago when helping my mom clean out some paperwork...she saw this new thing called a scrapbook store the day before my 20th birthday. At the time I was pregnant with twins and was told I have to be on bed-rest for my entire third trimester. My mom thought this would be something fun for me to do while I was laying around. Little did she know... :)
Here are some of my first scrapbook pages...
I can still remember the feelings I had the first night I actually scrapbooked a couple of weeks after Mac was born...I set up a card table in my bedroom and sat back and looked at the pages...I was hooked.
And eleven years later I think it's safe to say it's part of my identity at this point...and I still will get the same awesome feeling when I sit back and see what I managed to make...
