~Does Anyone Scrapbook Anymore?~

Before we left to go back to the US to have baby Mary in Aug. 2010...I was caught up scrapbooking all of our pics through Aug. 2009. About a month ago, I made some blog books of my blog and thus finished 2009 and some of 2010.  I then decided to scrapbook some, for I wanted to have some scrapbooks with baby Mary in them like I do our other children.  I love the rewarding feeling that comes from seeing my scrapbooks being enjoyed by my family and friends...both now...and for Years to come (Lord willing.)  =)
Early this year my friend Marisol had asked me if I was going to scrapbook again, for she loves to look at my finished products.
~ Last night my girls and I met Marisol and we enjoyed some treats from Dunkin' Donuts and looked at my scrapbooks.    =)~

 ~We had a fun Lady's night out!~

 

~The Lord has really helped me and in the last month I have scrapbooked 168 pages.  Since I cannot have each one of you over for a homemade fall treat, something hot to drink and show you my scrapbooks...I decided to post some of my favorite pages on my blog. =)

(Sorry some of these got out of order.)~

~Starting School year 2010 at Mrs. Phyllis's house in Goshen, OH...right before Mary was born.~

~An adorable Elijah in the kids little red wagon.  I love his toesies all curled up in the top pic.~

~Our first glimpse of Baby Mary...that is when she began to wrap her Daddy and Mommy right around her little finger.=) (I love the stickers on this page. I wrote Mary's stats on the tiny wrist band sticker. =)~

~The beautiful fall day that baby Mary was born. (The pic of the trees is our fun view from our hospital window.)~

I have about 30 more pages to do and I'll be done scrapbooking Aug. 2010 through Sep. 2011!  YEA! I'm trying to get done fast...for I need to start organizing and packing what we are going to take to Arg. on Oct. 19th.  We each are allowed only ONE suitcase and a carry-on.  Please pray as we try to get all the things we need for 7 of us for 4 and 1/2 months...in those suitcases!
I plan to post a few more scrapbooking pages soon. =)  Thank you for looking through my scrapbooks with me. =)
