You may be arriving here from Alice’s site where she is showing you how to have fun scrapbooking your breakfast!

It’s just a short blog circle today. Many of our usual contributors were heavily involved in Lain Ehman’s True Scrap PlannerLove over the weekend and are taking a well deserved break today!

As for me, I had some fun this week. It’s important to remember to have fun with your scrapbooking, right? It shouldn’t be all serious love stories to our kids – although there is definitely room for that too! Today I chose to tell the story of a funny little incident that happened when our children were away for a week at their grandparents.

Putting It In Order – Part I

Does album organization exist?

I have a dream.

In this dream I live in a neat, organized home.

In this home are book cases full of labelled, colour coded, scrapbooks.

Scrapbooks that tell my story, the story of my girls as they grow up, the stories of our holidays, and the story of my scrapbook evolution.

And then I wake up to this.
