I LOVE the idea of scrapbooking. Chronicling our lives in tangible form with pictures and cute captions. It's the reality of it that is the problem. Photo corners and choosing which pictures to include...trying to find just the right words for captions and agonizing over layout. I haven't even finished Bubba's baby book and don't get me started on Peanut. Makes me feel like a bad mother.
I dream of having all the time and patience to create beautiful memory books that they will enjoy for years to come.
Not gonna happen.
So...we try the blog. Who knows? Maybe I'll be better at the computer stuff - posting random pictures and saying whatever comes to mind. I'll probably still agonize about what to write and what pictures to include but at least I won't have all the craft clutter adding to my already cluttered kitchen table.
So for those friends and family members looking in - Welcome. We'll see what unfolds.

Yay! I look forward to reading your posts and seeing pictures of their royal cutenesses. :o) I never even made it through the first year section of Sweet Pea's baby book - not even sure I have a baby book for The Bug... heh. I know I need to do something because as the youngest of 4 it has been a bummer for me to not have a baby book or even many baby pictures of myself to look back at.
Once upon a time I saw a scrapbooking idea that stuck with me. Haven't done it yet for either of my children, but let's not focus on that... ha ha! The idea was to create a simple photo scrapbook for baby's first year using the first photo and then 4 photos per month. You would post the 4 photos on the right page and then on the left, you would write a caption/explanation for each photo. I've considered doing that for each child for each year until I have a better idea, because even though the format would get repetetive, at least it would give the kids some highlights to look back at, rather than never seeing the scads of digital images we have of them on our computers.
