All Day Crop

{whoops, didn't get to the computer in time to post this yesterday...pretend you didn't notice}

Today my friend Alice and I left the kiddos behind and headed out for an all-day scrapbooking event at a Greek church here in Fresno.  I hadn't scrapbooked in so, so long so it was nice to dust off my old supplies and get some work done.  It was a National Scrapbbok Day event, so there were between 100-150 people there... It was awesome!!

We were discussing why it is so hard to get scrapbooking stuff out to work on, and one of the main reasons is that scrapbooking is NEVER done.  You can't say you are done because there are always photos to take and events to remember.  I think that is a good reason to have a blog.  I don't feel so badly that my memories aren't in books or 'cute' with sweet paper and embellishments... they are at least written down and somewhere for me to refer back to if and when I ever get the opportunity to make this year's scrapbook.  And, truth be told, I will most likely move on to a more digital version of a scrapbook.

After the day long event, we headed back to her house and kept our momentum up... scrapbooking until the wee hours of the night.  I feel very accomplished.  Claire now has 20 (or 40 if you count each side!!) pages of a baby book that she did not have two days ago and I learned a more speedy way of getting my scrapbooking done... a very productive day. 

Now everything is put away, but I do have more of the motivation to continue.
