    Still working…not sharing…

    I’m a bit frustrated that I’m working on an altered scrapbook of memories but am not comfortable showing my completed pages with the world.
    I am quite protective of my children’s images (and my hubby is “off the charts” security wise, so showing pix is out of the question.

    AAAGGHHH!!! I love the latest spread I made but if I blurred the photos on a graphics program the post would be completely meaningless.

    Sorry, I guess I just needed to vent…or let people know that…yes, I am still working on stuff, along with spending countless hours outside in the heat watching my kiddos play. Ok, I’m whining but with the high temp and humidity it feels like forever!

    Memories frozen in time

    After finally getting around to ordering a ton of digital pictures, I figured I should really have somewhere to put our memories.

    This is the title page.

    I’ll likely add a picture of both kids below the word Cherish.

    I tend to do a *summer memories* book each year but I’m not going to limit myself to that this time. I’m not really sure how this altered book/scrapbook will evolve. Since I’ll be including photos of family and friends I won’t be showing many pages. I will show the completed book, at least from the outside, when finished.

    Paper bag scrapbook

    A good friend and neighbor asked me if I could make a paper bag scrapbook for her niece that just graduated from high school.

    She brought a pile of pictures and some tidbits about the grad. Luckily for me, I know the girl as she babysat my kiddos before and we have spent the last few 4th of July’s at her folks house which is right on the parade route. Handy, besides being a really fun group to hang out with. 🙂

    For obvious reasons I can’t show all the inner pages of the book but here’s a sample for you.
