We all would like to be able to remember all the special moments in the lives of our children. This can be quite difficult for us to do but you can get close by taking lots of pictures. When you take pictures you are better able to remember the moment when you see the photo. You may not be able to get all the special moments on picture but you may want to at least try.  Read more...

The transparency that we printed this 8×10 of my granddaughter on I used on this page from Easter. I also printed some small ones to put around the picture to add interest. I love how the page pops with the smaller ones framing the 8×10.  Whenyou use a bigger picture like that you don’t have much room for more picture page it fills the page up too much so the smaller ones were used just as a frame around the edges of the page and then adding the flower and mat to journal on was all the page needed after putting it together. The page to match on the right is where I added the remaining pictures from Easter, the one with our dog Socks with his Bunny ears on. Torrie loves to put sunglasses, skirts, butterfly wings, antlers, and bunny ears on him and for the most part he is a team player. I love how the transparency came out with the color on it. I have a page that I will post tomorrow with a black and white transparency picture on it that I have done. When you put the transparency on the page remember that it is see thru so I had to put a piece of white cardstock cut to fit in the back and then mount the picture to the page. I hope you get a chance to work with transparency paper it was fun to be able to do something different to the pages in my album.  Read more... (273 words, 1 image, estimated 1:06 mins reading time)

Returning home loaded with bags of groceries, Suzanne winced as she walked in and heard all three of her children quarreling at the top of their lungs. Suzanne, instantly angry, yelled, “Why can’t you kids go one hour without fighting? You don’t deserve what I do for you! Go to your rooms – NOW!”

As she set the groceries down, Suzanne knew she hadn’t handled that well, but didn’t know what to do about it, and wasn’t in the mood to fix it anyway.  Read more... (1423 words, 1 image, estimated 5:42 mins reading time)

I am working on a 8X8 scrapbook album for my daughters girlfriend. She is due this month with her first child.  She is having a boy.  I bought the scrapbook at Hobby Lobby. The album cost me $12.99 very affordable.  It has a boy theme on the cover, but you could always buy a plain cover and add ribbons, charms etc… and decorate it yourself.  Read more...
