Charlie was out on a camping expedition, so Jill hosted a day of scrapbooking for me and Grammy.
All we had to do was pick out a few wedding pictures and send them to Costco for printing (in black and white - this is a Jill-sponsored event).
And like Jill posted in her preview - I was nervous about scrapbooking initially. I've already got my hobbies and my wallet can't afford another one. Plus, being a perfectionist doesn't mix well with scrapbooking (or better said, being a perfectionist doesn't mix with trying anything new), but Jill promised that I couldn't fail. This week, I started looking forward to the day and it turned out to be a lot of fun.
We ended up not finishing. We'll be getting together for part 2 the weekend that Keith and the kids go hunting. That gives us time to gather a few more pictures. Jill has some of Grandma's wedding pictures (my mom's mom) that we want to get printed too.
Emma came along and that was to Zella's delight. They played, had an impromptu marching band (which disbanded when I tried to take a picture) and then a marathon of TV watching. Emma's presence helped us make as much progress as we did!
I'll end the post with a license plate we saw as we were driving over to Jill's house. For those not in the know, we thought it was funny because we've got a new little dog named Pixie.
Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts.
