my 27-hour scrapbook page


Ok, well that is a big exaggeration, but I started this page yesterday and just finished it tonight. So it goes with 3 little ones and a busy summer. Alright, that's not fair to blame the kiddos because I don't scrapbook fast at all. We used to get together for crops and I think I would finish one page in the evening and even then I had more touch-ups to do later. I hope I can get faster at this because I am SO far behind it's intimidating me. I found this contest over at Pagemaps and thought it would be fun to enter and even if I don't win I'm at least one scrapbook page closer to catching up! ha! Also, Beckie Carlson {ladystamper} is doing a little challenge at her blog to use chipboard this week so I thought I'd just kill two challenges with one page. She's a challenge junkie like me! These pictures of Avery bring back so many memories - we had just moved to Fort Collins and she seemed so big then. Now I look at her and see her as a baby. It makes me miss that time when it was just me and her during the day while Daddy was at work. Now I'm busy juggling 3 little ones and wishing/hoping to get more alone time with each of them, especially Andrew.

That's it for now - Thanks for taking a peek today!

Love the page! Had no idea you had a blog! I wish I had your creativity. I haven't even started on a book for Powell! Hundreds of pictures, but nothing even printed out. :P
