Scrapbooking

This past week I started working on Katie's scrapbook. I received a kit from my loving husband while I was pregnant with Katie. I actually used this book and started a page for Felicity. Can you tell how far behind I am????

I bought another kit from HSN and decided to focus my attention 2 nights a week on scrapbooking. I am so disorganized that I thought this would be a real disaster. It is really fun and I love trying to figure out to display the photos. Of course I am probably paying too much attention to detail but this is a keepsake for me as well as the girls .

My problem: limiting the photos and finding the best ones. I have over 6,000 pictures on my hard drive and it is really hard not using them all.

I also started writing again in Katie's journal. I started a journal when she was in the NICU. When I would call the NICU to find out how Katie's morning and afternoon went, I would write everything done on small pieces of paper. I thought this is really disorganized, see a trend ;) ) and I need to get this in a book. The only problem, I haven't kept up since Katie was one.

I am taking baby steps on my road to better organization and motherhood. Bear with me!
