Going Ga-Ga over Scrapbooking

I was very blessed by my family and awesome friend, Nicole, with a bunch of cool scrapbooking stuff!!!  I've had scrapbooking odds and ends floating around our past 3 apartments that have needed to seriously have a home.  I got a little carry tote a few years back, but my papers were getting ruined (it wasn't meant for papers, just hardware stuff).  I was so excited to get more scrapbooking supplies in the mail from my great friend, and even more thrilled when I got the awesome storage tote (below) from my parents.  Between all I got between Christmas (Tim got me a BUNCH of papers and cool scissors) and for my birthday (and what I already owned), I think everything (for the most part) has a home!!! The little brown and blue tote was what I use to have to try to make everything fit in.  The very stylish white/black and red trim bag is what my parents got me!  All the fun stuff that's inside has come from Tim, Nicole, and my parents.  Yay for scrapbooking!





I don't really have that much time to scrap with having 2 kiddos running around and all - well, one runs, and the other is on the verge of crawling.  But I so enjoy it - very therapeutic.  There is also nothing like getting a homemade card.  Totally beats the generic store ones, and looks hundreds times better - and the thought that has gone into it definitely is priceless.  Maybe when I get REALLLY good, I'll post some projects.  Right now, I'm just trying to keep up with the kids' stuff.  I haven't even STARTED Nathan's book yet.  Tim got me two sets for the kids pictures, so I'll try to post those in the future (some months down the road).  :)

I'm so glad that you like your scrapbooking stuff! I love those storage containers~sooo stylin'! Yay for birthdays! It's definitely hard for me with just 1 kiddo to squeeze time in for scrappin, so I can't even imagine how it is with 2, but make sure that once in a while you get in some alone time! It is definitely much deserved. =)
