Layouts

What a wonderful day it's been. Sean went golfing at a crazy early time this morning, and M got picked up before 9 by her Gramma to go to a worship dance workshop, so I thought it would feel like a normal weekday. It didn't, though.  Nolan went back down for his first sleep just after M left, so I started my day off with a little scrapbooking. It's Saturday - a play day, not a work day! I got two layouts made that I really like, then Nolan woke up and Sean got home, and the rest of the day has been good family time and lots of backyard time. We just came in from the first backyard fire of the year.

Here are the two pages from two weeks ago - some weeks have one page worth of shots, and some have two. I have last week's page (a single) done, too, except for the one picture that's missing... I thought I printed it, but I guess I must have missed that one. It feels good to be keeping up with this project. There are a few other full page layouts that I want to stick in, but they'll come.
 

Top center is the front of one of the many cards we got.  Great space filler!

The little cut out Nolan makes me laugh.

I love this one.

Layouts & Rollovers

National Scrapbook Day was a success, I'd say.

• Nolan did well hanging at the church all day, eating, sleeping, pooping & entertaining.  He rolled over for the first time, which made for some good excitement.  I'm glad I remembered that my little camera has video capabilities!
• Madeline came with me and a friend joined us for the afternoon.  They made a couple of layouts, and did some good shopping at the giveaway table.
• Sean got in 18 holes in the morning and spent all afternoon putting up our new garden shed!
• Success for me was not measured in quantity of layouts... but I did finish up a few pages in my geocaching album and in my pregnancy album, so those are up to date.  That's all I got done, but it was still good to be there.

So here's what we've got to share.  First, the latest two in Nolan's album - I will do a full page of his first swim to go in between these.

The two that Madeline made yesterday:

  
These next ones are the new pages that finish off my "Baby On the Way" album.  You can see the first ones here.  I should do something with the cover, then it will be done.

I think I'll leave it there for now and post the whole geocaching album soon.  

Thanks for looking!

The Album!!

As promised, here are the 25 (!!) pages from the last 3 months.  Enjoy!  They're compressed for going online, so if you want to see them in their full glory, you are cordially invited to come over for tea and a visit. :)

2012 - The Album.

Happy Tuesday, Friends!

If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?  I would probably be in Winnipeg, watching my nephew Silas in Seussical the Musical.  Since I'm not there, here with my family is a good second.  It was a pretty plain night, actually - once Nolan fell asleep, Sean and I went out to pick up a new toaster and a curtain rod for N's new drapes.  They're very boyish - dark blue with cars on them.  Now that it's lighter longer, we needed to get something to darken the room, and we needed something to finish off the window anyway.

I picked up pictures today & filled in my pages for the last 5 weeks.  Now I just have to put the finishing touches on them - that will take a day or two, then I promise I will post them all.  My goal this week is to share them with you!  I am enjoying doing our year like this - I've got a weekly routine now for uploading and saving my photos, and when I can get to it, planning each week's page or pages, setting up the smaller ones on Photoshop, and ordering them.  Here are the two pages for Christmas and the first two for January - up to just before Nolan made his appearance.
