Scrapbooking

So as many of you know before Linda when we were living in Kodiak Alaska I started scrapbooking. I was a crazy scrapbooker and just scrapped everything. I was even a consultant for many years. I was all caught up....until...Sometime after having Jeremy I slowed down and came to a halt. It was most likely the much smaller apartment with no space to scrap. Or the move to Washington or my struggles with depression. Either way I just kinda stoped doing it. We have dedicated a space in the new house to my hobby in the hopes that I would once again work on the kids books. I am still working on Jeremy's first year and Linda's second year. Jeremy is now 2 and Linda will be 4 in December. So needless to say I am falling behind. At one point last Spring I did attempt to jump start my hobby again with some results but my scrap area had been taken over with junk so I just had no motivation to get going. Then in the last couple days I got motivated again. Not sure what changed but Chris is being great about helping. He is putting shelves up for me and building neat drawer cubies for my stuff to go in. It is coming along slowly but surely. And for the first time in months I completed two pages. It felt so great. I finished Jeremy's first Halloween and it turned out so cute. I need to print his Thanksgiving pictures but that is no biggie. I can do those fast and keep moving along. I am just glad I am starting again and it feels good to be working on their books again.
