OK, back to the story at hand. Some time ago, my grandmother was cleaning out and distributing old photos to members of the family and I received some pictures from my parent’s wedding. They have been sitting in my closet until just recently, when I decided to put them together in a small album. With Mother’s Day approaching, I had the perfect goal. I set out on our scrapbooking weekend, determined to see this project through. I purchased all of the supplies I thought I would need, including plenty of matching papers and a wide variety of embellishments, and packed it up for the cabin weekend. Having access to the computer made the journaling easy (although there were a couple of phone calls required to get all of the names correct). And by the end of the weekend I had accomplished my goal and completed, from start to finish, a 20-page wedding album. Now, needless to say, I’m a little excited for Mother’s Day and only regret that I won’t be there in person to present this gift.

Scrapbooking has always been a creative outlet for me, and an enjoyable way to spend my time, but this project reminded me how much scrapbooking is for others, as much as it is for myself. I hope you can all find something to work on in the coming months that means as much to you as this project meant to me. And Happy Mother’s Day!

P.S. I figured that will all this talk about my ‘project’, it would only be fair to include a few sample pages. Each page uses the same colors and patterned papers, but each page is also unique in its design. All of the journaling is done with Scrap Cursive (except stamps were used on the word ‘Friendship’)
