One of my projects

I had to face it, I need to do Danika's school year scrapbooks, but what is the best thing for a mother who works 40+ hours, plays softball on Tuesday nights, cooks dinner 3-4 nights a week, makes lunches, etc..
Where is the time to actually sit down and do a 12x12 scrapbook? It would take me 3 years to do 1 year, maybe! I am not kidding.. so I started thinking, I know it hurt to think, but had to be done. I have been seeing those SMASH books and I really like them. My thought here is that I can buy the smaller one, because I just realized they came out with the 12x12 & the smaller one can be carried around with me on a daily or weekly basis and I can add to it. I love the thing. Plus, you can use your Michaels coupon and get the 40-50% off!! Cant beat that...
So I started it, only by adding some writing on it: but I am really interested on how it is going to turn out. I am so excited about it. And I am going to start stocking up on them so I have them already, before they may not be around.You know how that goes, you get addicted to something and then they take it away. The only thing with the front of this first one, I could not find any stickers I liked that had Kindergarten on it, so I wrote with puffy paint.
The other great thing about this book/journal:
1. I can write what she said that day word for word, even tell how I am feeling at the moment, etc.
2. It has it's own pen/glue attached to the book.
3. It has it's own plastic cover for it to protect it.
4. They come in all different colors, so doesn't have to be exact all the time!


Just to let you know, I used PAINT software to block out her last name out..Those heart and flowers are not really there. I need to add school stickers to the front. I will show pictures later...
