Love to Scrap!!!!

This weekend I got the opportunity to spend the day w/ my scrap 'girl'friends and have I ever mentioned how much I love these ladies, plus scrapping????  What a fun day it always is to spend the time w/ them looking at pictures of their families, talking, eating, and realizing at that last hour (of a 12 hour day) that the day flew by!  I love being able to put our memories down on paper that will last over the years, in our house, these books mean a great deal and I hope to be able to hand them down one day!  Our boys really enjoy looking at their books and the giggles, are priceless!  Brenton, finally, understood why it was so important to me to have these books and to spend the time to do them, when he saw first hand 'both' boys taking the books, putting them on the floor, and turning from page to page looking at themselves...LOL  I, was one of those people, who didn't understand scrapping.....before I became a mother!  After that moment in my life, it was so important to me to make our memories last and now that I'm 5 years into it, I'm getting better.  Yes, I use outside inspiration from the "experts", to get my creativity flowing, but every single scrapper I know, does the same thing and for that, I'm no longer intimidated by the blank page that stares at me in the beginning of every new page =)  Anyway, yesterday, was a great day and I met a few new ladies and now we are planning on the next scrap day!!!
