Catching up

For the last couple of weeks I have been working on an album for DH's reunion of folks who were stationed together in Turkey. Their first reunion took place in 2000 and I had scrapped up to the 2003 reunion which I had started but not completed. The album remained that way until about 2 weeks ago.

We leave for the next reunion later this month and I would really like to have the album up to date by then. We always have a large display of memorabilia in the hospitality suite and the album has been part of that since 2004.

Here are some of the pages I've been working on: 

I have just completed 2006 and have started printing photos for 2007. The biggest issue is that there are over 100 photos to choose from for each year and over 100 attendees. I don't want to leave anyone out so I have a terrible time picking out photos to use.

Crop Challenge

This past weekend I participated in a "cyber-crop" and our challenge was to create layouts representing various states. I did layouts for Vermont, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and North Carolina. I enjoyed the challenge very much and I think I will try to do some more states.

Arps and Craps

Our son Eric and his family spent the weekend with us. He has 3 girls, Emily, 9; Abigail, 5; and Molly,3. The girls love to visit my craft closet and, as Molly says, do "arps and craps."
They are content to spend hours drawing, stamping, cutting, and gluing. Molly loves to make cards for everyone, Abi loves to make "Artist Training Cards" (actually artist trading cards) and trade them with her sisters. Emily enjoys card making and scrap booking. I think she was 3 when she did her first scrapbook. Of course, Nana (me) enjoys crafting with all of the grandkids.

I recently completed a scrapbook page for each of our granddaughters, Madison & Allison. Madison had a part in her middle school production of Annie, Jr. and Allison had a dance recital.

Now, I need to get to work on an album for my Mom. I plan on doing circle pages that will fit into a decorated tin. I really need to get busy on it because she will arrive later this week.
