Little Painters

Another page done! I got this idea from a layout I saw in Pinterest.

Birthday Party

Yikes! I haven't posted since March. Which also means I haven't scrapbooked since then either. Well, at least not for myself. I was in charge of our homeschool co-op's yearbook this year, so I was busy putting that together. But that's all done and ordered so now I get to spend time on my own photos. I'm excited!

Today I was looking through some of my scrapbook pages. It made me smile. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm so thankful for photos and scrapbooking. I love looking back at how little the kids were, the things we did, the funny things they said. 

Oftentimes I feel like all my pages look the same, but when I go back and look, they each are different. Certain things I stick to because I like it. 

Well, with this page, it's actually just one page. I thought his party might be two pages, but I kept it at one. I wasn't "in love" with the other photos. Not that I'm in love with all of these, but they have more meaning than the others. 

When I sat down to scrapbook today, I thought, "I don't know that I'm in the mood to scrap Titus's birthday. I'll just see where I left off in December 2009." Wouldn't you know, it was his birthday. Ha! So I worked on it and now it's done. I don't know why birthday pages are such a big deal to me. It's that perfectionism that kicks in. Not that these pages are so amazing, but I don't want to leave out details and I do want to like the end result especially since it's a birthday page. Birthdays are a big deal to me because it celebrates my kids (or whoevers birthday it is). 

I'm excited to move on and get 2009 completed. But then I remember we are now in 2013. *deep breath* Enjoy the journey, Rebekah!

On a side note, I scrapped while listening to the station "Classical Guitar Radio" on Pandora. It's great. It's peaceful yet has great beats. It kind of transports you to, hmm, Greece. Haha!
