Scrapbooking

My mom has always been very crafty and when I was about 12 she started ones for my younger sister and brother. She helped me attempt to do my own. Well, that venture did not last long. I had a short attention span, could not spell and believe that more was more. While none of those things have changed in the last 14 years, I do have a change in motivation. I think it would be nice for Braylon to have a documentation of his life. Not only will he be able to read this blog he will also be able to see it through pictures. So, after Braylon's baby shower I started a scrapbook for him. I started it out with a few pregnancy photos and his baby shower. I wish I would have taken more photos pregnant and have had better documented that so I could have added more on the pregnancy part. However, I have been very good at taking my camera along with us everywhere and documenting his life. Almost every time we go out I think 'how can this be translated into a blog or how can make a scrapbook page out of this?'. For the most past I have been able to keep up on it all.

Last night I finally got all of the pictures in that I needed to update the book thus far (I still have the page of Colin's paramedic graduation to do, but I am having to order stickers because it seems no place in town carries paramedic stickers). So, while Braylon was napping late in the afternoon I sat down and for two and a half hours I put together six pages (I had not updated it since Halloween). I am quite proud of the pages I created!

Here are some of the ones I created last night.
