The biggest scrapbooking problem I’ve had, now that I have two kids, is
getting something into the second kid’s album. I now understand the old
joke about the oldest child has the fully complete baby book, and each
child
has fewer and fewer photos, until the last child is lucky to have their
first picture taken at age 12.
So for Rachel’s album, I’m not going chronological right now, and just
scrapping whatever hits me. Whatever I can get done right now, in this
next 1/2 hour. I’ll go back and do the chronological thing when I know
I’ll have 5 or 6 hours of uninterrupted time.
But if I can only grab a few minutes, I’ll keep it simple, and
inspired.
Therefore, today’s blog posting. It was a monochrome challenge on the
Club Scrap list. But I really wanted to document as many of Rachel’s
names for herself as I could. It also gave me the opportunity to play
with changing a color photo to black and white with
PaintShop Pro. It was pretty darn simple.
And now, it’s time to rest. As Scarlett said, “tomorrow is another day”.
And my new words of wisdom are: “If you can’t do it all, do what you
can do in 30 minutes”.
