We hope you're all having a wonderful Mother's Day! My favorite part (besides my husband fixing dinner!) was the handmade gifts from my boys. My kindergartener made a book called, My Amazing Mom, and one page said, "My mom is really good at_________." He filled in the blank with "crafting."
Recently I made this mini book to celebrate just that. I don't usually take the time to scrapbook myself, but I got a design team assignment to use this mini album and coordinating die-cut pages from Little Yellow Bicycle. I LOVE this line, Fresh Print Clothesline, but it's rather girlie, and I have boys. So I was it.
I decided to record my love of crafting. It brings a richness to my life, it makes me happy. Okay, I'm obsessed. I love that my kids recognize that this is a part of who I am. But I hope they always know that being their mom is the most important thing in my life. I hope this book inspires you to take some time to document who you are, what makes you happy. It's like giving yourself a little Mother's Day gift. Enjoy!
Beautiful and well done!

ReplyDeleteLove that album! I am moving in a couple weeks and my sister made me pack up all my craft stuff (she is not a crafter and felt that I had way too much stuff!). It was hard putting it away because being creative keeps me sane. I may have to sneak some stuff out if the urge strikes!
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job on the scrapbook. The scrapbook looks fabulous
ReplyDeleteThat is delicious. Yum...

I love it! I know I'm emotional from being 9 months preggo but it made me teary eyed at the end when you said that you didn't want to lose sight of you greatest creations and then had a pic of you and your boys. I love that! So wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Beautiful book, beautiful photos and a beautiful keepsake of their mama forever!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your mini album! tfs!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I love the idea of scrapbooking about crafting. They go hand in hand :) Great job, I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy kindergartener made the same book, but I was good at "forgetting things." She's had enough of mommy's baby brain. (8 months prego w/ baby #4, so I do forget a lot of things.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for always sharing such beautiful ideas & your amazing talents with the rest of us!
This album ROCKS!!! totaly gorgeous!!!
