1 Down

I'm Back!  And I had a FANTASTIC weekend and birthday.  I talked, and talked, and talked; shopped, and shopped and shopped, and ate and ate.  I quickly must thank a few people that facilitated my ability to run away and have a break for a few days.  My parents, (who watched the girls), my brother Andy ( who watched his children and my boys so his wife could run away with me), my brother-in-law Shane (who watched Ivy so my sis could play with me and who picked up 32 quail and brought them down from Ogden for my brother Andy), and Ivy (who gave up her bed for her aunties to sleep in).  I love you all and I'm so grateful for your help in support of my mental health.  :-)

So these are pics of my latest completed project.  I took all of our "family" pics and put them in these albums.  There is easily over 4,000 pictures there.  I still scrapbook the kids personal pictures (birthdays, awards, special events), but every other picture got put in a photo box.  So I finally got all the pictures out of those photo boxes and put them in viewable albums.  I also had to suck it up and order 3 years worth of pictures online (here's the key, wait till they have a screaming deal on prints - and free shipping!)  So I am thrilled that I finished this and I can have a small sense of accomplishment.  I'll just ignore the 8 years behind I am in scrapbooking the kids photos!

Each album is label and organized chronologically.  These albums are from Michaels and they fit 10 to a page.  I also waited until these babies were 40% to buy them.

I love being able to flip through the pictures and watch the kids grow up.  So many precious memories.  These albums are definately what I'm grabbing if we have a fire.
