Back to Scrappin

For about the last 3 years I have done tons of scrapbooking. However, last summer I took an online photography class. The class was amazing, but I put alot of time into it and as a result I quit scrapbooking for awhile. As Christmas was approaching, I was really missing scrapbooking, but I was so involved with Christmas stuff that I just didn't have the time. I started off the New Year by doing a bunch of scrapping. It was so nice to do it again! I had lots of pictures that I had all ready ordered so I started off using those pictures.

Here is a sampling of some of the pages that I did during the 1st week in January.

Last summer after I stopped scrapbooking, there were 2 times that when I took the pictures I thought "Now that would really make a great scrapbook page!". As I started scrapping again, I couldn't wait to do these 2 pages. I ordered some pictures from Snapfish a couple of weeks ago and the pictures that I ordered were ones from Christmas and the pictures to do these 2 pages.

My brother-in-law, Andy, won this jar of candy at the family reunion for having the closest guess. He was sharing the candy with all of the cousins and his girls were really enjoying it, because their Mom (my sister Kim) doesn't give them much candy at home.

Later that night I took Kim and Andy's girls with us when we went to Farr's Ice Cream. Drew was complaining that her stomach hurt and she didn't even want an ice cream cone. I was holding her, but then I handed her to Savannah so that I could take some pictures. While I was taking pictures, she started throwing up all over Savannah. I only got one picture of her throwing up before Mark told me to put my camera away. He thought I should be helping Savannah and Drew rather then taking pictures. I must say, though, that I do regret not getting a picture of Savannah's shirt covered in throw-up. It was definitely a Kodak moment that I missed. Savannah was a really great sport about it, by the way.

This was another classic Kodak moment that I got the perfect pictures. Morgan was sitting on the edge of the slide going on and on about how she wasn't going to get her hair wet. Andy asked me for permission to push her into the pool. Because of this, I was ready and I had the picture all framed and ready to shoot when Andy pushed her. It was classic!!
