Remodeling Scrapbook

When we moved into our house our kids were small and so was our house. We had two bedrooms and two kids and not enough room.
We added a 12x24 addition onto the back of our house. We took pictures of the entire process. Now, we're working on putting the pages into a scrapbook. This makes a wonderful memory of the cramped past and the wonderful here and now.
Scrapbook pages can be about anything. If you have any ideas of tips please drop us a comment.

What you're cutting out of your scrapbook

I was searching the Internet yesterday and found a page where this person was talking about how they hated scrapbooking. At first I didn't understand. How could someone hate scrapbooking, I wondered.

As I read what they had to say I soon realized the point they were making was 100% correct. When you cut the pictures to put in your scrapbook you're cutting out bits of history. The things in the background of a picture bring back as many if not more memories as the person or people in the picture.

Looking through pictures of when I was small I realized that there are many things in those pictures that do bring back wonderful memories. That old rickety swingset that you're cutting out of those pictures will bring back memories of an easier time. A time when playing and napping and eating your peas were the only things you had to worry about.

In a picture of my grandma there is an old garage. We lived in the country and we had an outhouse until I was about 7. No, we didn't live in the backwoods!! We were not rich and we simply had to wait until we had that money to put plumbing in. That outhouse and that garage bring back wonderful memories. The garage, we used to climb on top of and get in such trouble. The garage was falling in and we knew it but we didn't believe them when they said it would fall in.

There is a picture of my mother and us kids riding bikes down the dirt road. In the background there is a barn, a machine shed and a house. We used to play in the soybeans and the lofts in that barn and we used to sneak into that house and play. The road is now paved, the barn and machine shed have now been torn down. And where that majestic old two story brick house used to sit is a new fancy house.

All of these memories will be cut away if I cut them out of the pictures.

It does take up a lot more room to use the entire picture. BUT... the memories will be much more if you leave the entire picture there.

Happy Scrapping. Leave us any suggestions or ideas you might have. We look forward to hearing from you.

A Peaceful Life

Saturday the 2nd would have been my Great Grandpa Rossy's Birthday. I was 7 when he went to be with the Lord. Happy Birthday Rossy!

When I was a little girl Ross used to bring us bananas every time he would go to town. Once in a while he would bring candy but mostly bananas.

My dad still lives on part of the farm that my Great Grandpa Ross and my Grandpa Gerald farmed. We take our 3 kids and nieces and nephews to that farm to camp and have wiener roasts and just enjoy the beauty and peace of the country.

We enjoy each other and no computer and no phones, except the cell phone for emergencies. We like no street lights and no cars driving by. We enjoy to hear the animals at night. If you live in town or in the city you should take a drive, at least once in your life, far out into the country to just get out and enjoy the stars. It's like the most peaceful sight. Life is so quiet, not rushed, no stress and you feel so close to God out there.

When we go camping in the summer we take lots of pictures. There is a huge maple tree out where we go camping. My husband held my little boy up and he hung his arms over a huge limb and we took a picture of it. This tree has been there since I was a little girl.

The tree and my little boy became a scrapbook page. The simplest of things can become a spectacular memory in a scrapbook page.

If you have any suggestions or ideas for scrapbooking or any stories for a scrapbooker please leave us a post.

Until Next time,
God Bless
