I'm proud to say 1.5 years after Nathan turned 1 I have FINALLY finished his 1st year scrapbook. Sadly I also completed this only a week before I compled his 2nd year scrapbook.....
I know - many of you will say I should have just done the online scrapbook thing and saved a lot of time... BUT....before we got pregnant, I was really into scrap-booking and bought a boat-load of scrap-booking stuff in anticipation of our future children's scrapbook... So...I have/had all this stuff and wanted to make use of it......So.....Viola!
All Done!
Can you tell I took too many pictures of Nathan in his first year? All these pages are his birth-1year!
Start of his second year..
These are all of the scrapbook pages of his complete 2nd year (1 year b-day to 2nd year b-day).....a LOT less than the first year.....why you might ask???
Maybe because I partly cheated and ordered an online scrapbook from Shutterfly for his 2nd year..... I only scrap-booked professional pictures and a "Best of Nathan's 2nd Year". Basically that was a 12 month - 2 page layout of all my favorite pictures of Nathan each month of his second year. I know.....such a slacker..
2 years worth.....
Done (well - at least up to this point).
I am now starting on making Ryan's 1st year scrapbook. My plan going forward is to make a big one for Ryan like I did for Nathan for his 1st year and then continue to either do an online scrapbook for each year or to do a similar "best of year"... I haven't thought much past finishing Ryan's first year book. My plan is to start now and catch up to current time so that I can complete each month within a reasonable time frame so I will be done by the end of September for him. At that point I plan on going back to work at least part-time so if I don't finish it by then..... I probably never will... Wish me luck!
