Although it's gotten cold again, we did have spring for a few days and our flowers have started to bloom. The tulips haven't opened up just yet, but the hyacinths & daffodils have and they smell so wonderful. I can't wait for spring be here for good!
Update on digital scrapbooking- I got my book finished and ordered and I absolutely love it! I cannot believe I waited so long to go digital. The book is almost 100 pages yet it's only 1/2 inch thick compared to my book(s) from 2007 which are 4 1/2 inches thick each- and has broken the binding
because they're so thick
and heavy. I had a coupon so the entire thing only cost $60, the crafty way usually costs $3-5 per page. So I compiled my top 10 reasons why I love digital, maybe it will help some who, like me, were on the fence or thought it was totally cheating and the anti-craft. I'm fully convinced, and have no regrets. So here's my top 10:
10. I'm not stuck with the pathetic selection my Michael's has, I can get cool free stuff online or create my own elements
9. I can scrapbook anytime anywhere and the only thing I have to lug around is my computer
8. I don't have to spend hundreds of dollars printing 4x6 photos
7. I can resize images easily and fit a ton more pics on one page
6. I can change my mind and easily edit anything at all
5. I can make extra books for my kids with a click of the mouse
4. It only cost 66 cents per page compared with $3.50 minimum for regular pages
4. It only cost 66 cents per page compared with $3.50 minimum for regular pages
3. I can put 100 pages in a single book that weighs less than 20 pounds and fits on my shelf
2. I don't have to stress about being behind- it's easy to stay caught up
1. I actually have a current finished scrapbook sitting on my table that I can look at!!!
And last, but not least. Fireproof. It's been recommended by several people and we finally got it the other day. I heard it would be good but I wasn't prepared for the floodgate of tears! You've gotta warn me next time! Anyway I highly recommend it. But keep the tissues nearby.

*btw, I used Inkubook to print my book- they are fabulous and the least expensive...
