I have not scrapbooked in 5 years. The day I started a blog (I had one before this one), I stopped. I just couldn’t do both. It seemed like it just zapped all my desires and energies to put anything on paper.
I took advantage of J’s sale the other day and bought some goods. How fun to add pink and flowers!
I am pulling out old supplies and trying to get organized before I even start.
For a while I started just putting my pics in albums
I don’t even do that anymore
If you ever need a reason to start again- pick up an old book and take a look at how fast time passes

And making silly faces after his bath
Obviously I was what one would call a “simple” scrapper!
I could go even further back, but then I start to get a little teary. But here is one that is fun- me and my brother
and then me and my big girl dog Barley
I am starting with some pictures that I already have. Well let’s face it, I have a ton of pictures from a long time ago, before I went digital. But these are the most recent ones I have that were actually printed- and they are from Halloween 2008.
So there you go, my journey back to pictures and cardstock. I will keep you posted as I go!

Good for you Elisa. I love scrapbooking. Unfortunately, I find myself doing pages and mini books and whatnot for everyone BUT me. I have got to stop that. You are going to love doing girly pages. They are so much fun!
By the way, I LOVE Andy’s costume in those photos! I swear I’ve seen plenty of blind refs at my boys’ games! 🙂

You are inspiring me to get back to scrapbooking! I put that craft on the back burner when I started to try sewing. I know what you mean, we can’t do it all! I can’t wait to see what you do with little Eva’s picture! We are having a litter of Goldendoodle pups in Feb!

Yay, scrapbooking pics. I love to do it but don’t have much time. You take such amazing photos I can’t wait to see how you incorporate them in your books. Thanks for giving us a peak!

I haven’t done any scrapbooking since May of last year. With the move, I just haven’t been able too. Seeing your things makes me want t get my scrap room organized and start back. I am a year behind in printing my pictures. YIKES!

Also, I see your baby in the picture of you and your brother.
