Scrapbooking Marathon

I have been really frustrated at how far behind I am on scrapbooking, I really like to scrap things as they happen and are fresh in my mind. So Thursday I did a few pages. I was in May of 2008. Anthony took Ethan with him on a campout last night and Joshua went to bed at 7:30pm so I stayed up all night scrapbooking. I scrapbooked most the day today as well and I am finally FINISHED with my 2008 book! This is my first year going digital so I'm going to have all the pages printed in a bound book. I am a simple scrapbooker so I don't have a lot of detail and really don't spend a lot of time on each page, I'd rather just get it done. I feel like a burden has been lifted and now that I'm caught up I can actually enjoy scrapbooking again. It's amazing what you can do when you're not chasing after a toddler!

    Cari! You must be so thrilled with yourself! I am over 3 years behind. I have thought so many times 'would it be easier to just go digital', but Mark says it's a bad idea. I love all of your pages! I love that song, "Oh what do you do in the summertime?" I am constantly humming it. And wouldn't your hubby just DIE if he saw that picture of him with the boys shirtless, hahahahahahaha. They were great! Thank you for sharing & you definitely deserve a big pat on the back for all of your hard work preserving your family history!

    Someone needs to teach me how to do digital scrapbooking because I'm no good at the other kind. : )
    Job well done, Cari. : )

    Awesome work! I am so far behind that I don't even worry about it anymore. I do my journaling on my blog and try to do some of the current photos digitally. I am slowly working on my photos from way back in 2003 and 2004, scrapping them traditionally. My friends and I have set aside one day a week that we get together and scrap- it has really helped me make consistent progress. Sure wish you were closer!
