More pages done!

I am so far behind it isn't even funny. My oldest daughter is 3 and I still need to do her 1st brithday and start on her second book which I still need to buy then my youngest just made 1 and I still need to buy her book thats how far behind I am. I'm bad. We use to have a scrapbooking night but everyone got so busy and we stopped but we need to have it again even if its only once a month so I can get stuff done. I have been collecting stuff and have a box for each of them with pictures and stuff I have for them but I really need to get busy. It would be nice for me to have some kid free time to scrapbook with the girls. Good luck I hope you get caught up soon. Oh and you should put your all into each page no matter what.

I sometimes let them go....then play catch up. I have a ton of scrapping to do but usually do it best when I have someone to scrap with....My sisters and I have weekends that we do it and my daughter in law also does it with me.....I seem to get more accomplished when I am with someone! LOL.

Glad your scrapbook is coming along. I have been working on softball scrapbooks for other people(sold 3 this summer), so haven't really been working on any of mine. But, today is a rainy day here, so good for scrapbooking. I'll be doing some catching up come the end of October, going to a Scrapbook Retreat, a whole weekend of scrapbooking, and my daughter will be there too. So, some of my pages I have ideas for I'm saving to do that weekend. But I still have plenty of pages to catch up on lol. I still take my time and put my all into every page, whether I have a lot to catch up on or not.

My daughter is adopted and we had some issues finding the birth father to finalize... Long story short. After it became official we had a family gathering/dinner and I realized I only had a few pages of her scrapbook and she was 14 months old. I wanted all our family and friends to see her scrapbook from birth to then. So in one week I finished 14 months worth. What I did is spent a few hours organizing the pictures that would go on a page. Example: Summer Lovin' page had her in a sandbox,swimming and playing outside. Hospital pictures, family pictures etc. Well then another day I got the paper stickers and embellishments that would go to each theme. Then I just glued everything together. (Let me add I am a photographer and 14 months filled 1 1/2 12x12 scrapbooks.) I did it from start to finish in one week. I really liked having everything organized first and you can make changes along the way and it gives you more time to really know what you want and not stress. Good luck.

I'm actually a little behind on my daughters scrapbook as well. What i do is a space them out to where it isn't a "job" but so it is enjoyable. I always try to be creative with every page. I try my best to put my all into them, but sometimes I am just like one more page...one more page. I think though its more important for her to see when she is older how much work I put into it for her, and hopefully she will one day apprieciate it. Good luck scrapbooking!

I guess because I have so little time I don't even try to catch up. I like to do my best on every page and that sometimes ends up taking a lot of time. When the baby is a little older I figure I'll get more of an opportunity to catch up. The other night I got to do two pages - they weren't complicated, but they got were meaningful. They were the first ones I'd done in over a month. I try to keep it even - do a page for the 3 years olds book, then one for the 2 years old, then one for the baby (and maybe one for my misc. book) but I've found it easier to just scrap whatever strikes a cord with me at the time. Congrats on getting so much done in one day.

Glad you are able to scrapbook! I am so far behind in scrapbooking these days. I still need to finish up my Disney one from a year ago. I tend to be a simple scrapper I don't use any beading-lots of stickers and cut outs.

Wow, you are doing great! Yes, I am bad I have several scrapbooks going all at once. I will still put a lot into each page, even if I have a lot to do because that's how I am and what I like to do at times. Sometimes though, photos that are more special will get extra touches. I am a fairly simple scrapbooker. At least I think so. My BFF will argue that point.

Hey I have a box with 15 years of pop warner football just waiting for you! I think it's great that you try to keep up and only wish I had done the same

I make scrap books for my own personal use, although I have been thinking of making one for my Mom for Christmas next year...I have a whole year to work on it and it's something that I think she will truly appreciate.
