I am pleased to announce that my final scrapbook is complete! My husband and I celebrated our Honeymoon two years ago in October, and I just completed our Honeymoon scrapbook last night. This thing has literally been haunting me for the last two years. All of the page refills, and brightly colored papers, and little Autumn leaf stickers sat on a nearby table in my office and taunted me.
I mean I have to get a little bit of a break, because in the last two years we bought a house, moved, unpacked, decorated that house, had a baby and surgeries and before you know it, life gets away from you and you have no idea where the time went. That was my excuse.
But I finally decided that excuses weren't enough when our anniversary came and went again and I only had 4 pages done. Since I've been sick and sitting idly is not something I ever do anymore, I decided to work on this scrapbook. Some of the pages are a little "overdone". I was basically just ripping stickers off of the vinyl backing and plopping them blindly on the page. I had it completed in two days, about 3 hours a day. All of our memories preserved so neatly in a 12 x 12 book.
I have decided this will be my final scrapbook. I have now completed four books and I think that is a great number to stop at. I have decided I don't like the art of scrapbooking. I am a creative person by nature, and I like projects that entail cutting, gluing and decorating. But I am also a person that likes to see the final product and not have it drag on for months upon months, or in my case, years upon years. I can understand how some people find scrap booking relaxing. I have learned (after four attempts) that I am not one of those people!
