Boyhood.

I am SO happy ...
So happy in fact that I'm doing a little happy dance!

Wonder why I'm so happy? Well ... today I completed a scrapbook page of Griffin. It's been a really, really, REALLY long time since I've sat down and made something for ME.

I spent TWO HOURS on this page ... isn't that ridiculous? After looking at it again ... I wonder to myself WHY on earth did it take me TWO HOURS to complete it? Maybe it's because I was trying to choose just the right colors, just the right positioning ... oh I don't know why ... but it DID take me TWO HOURS!

Okay ... so ... will you have a look?


This is it ... my completed scrapbook page. I used the title Boyhood because really, when I look at these pictures I'm reminded how very little time we actually have to enjoy this sweet boyhood stage. If interested you can click on the picture for a much larger view.


I think it's SO important to use your own handwriting when scrapbooking. Even though my handwriting is not that great ... I still hand write everything. I guess this is very close to my heart because I have absolutely nothing with my mother's handwriting on it. What I wouldn't give for one tiny little thing with her signature on it, or her words written with her hand? I want Griffin to have part of "me" with his scrapbook. What could be more personal then your own handwriting?


I went back and forth about putting this phrase on the page. I really liked the saying ... but I don't know ... I didn't know if it really matched or fit with everything else. But in the end ... I decided it did fit.

Okay ... so ... thank you for letting me share my little bit of creative joy with you today. Right this very minute, I'm feeling a little bit warm and tingly inside.
