The Scrapbook Center

For 15 years after we were married, photo albums were up to date. I completed four baby books and created separate themed albums for Family, the Lake House, LeGroupe and Friends, and Girl Scouts. Unfortunately, they were magnetic albums - as in not permanent - photos started falling out - and after all that work! In comes Belle selling Creative Memories. CM albums are painfully long to create, but the achieve aspect of the finished product is worth my time. Over the next two decades I purchased 35 albums and all the supples to go with them! A HUGH investment! My plan was to redo the magnetic albums AND stay current. But as they say, "Life comes at you fast!" It was impossible to keep up. I kept falling further and further behind. How far behind? Twelve years, three weddings, and one grandchild behind! This summer, however, I commit to preserving those memories. A daunting task made a little easier, though, because I keep all photos, invitations, cards, notes, mementos, and calendars boxed by year. I started today by organizing this dedicated workspace in our living room.
