I finished putting together my scrapbooks (for the most part) that have been sitting on my dresser for months. Literally months. They just needed to be put in time order and put back together. The boys lives are all complete and caught up, and mine is missing a few key events still (like Jakey's birth…) but document most of our journey from college to the present. And I figure I have the boys books which have everything in them that I can look at for the next 18 years while they are living with us…
So, the first and last page of the scrapbooks are single pages. I just don't really scrapbook that way! I do mostly/only two page spreads. So, one thing I do is blow up one of my favorite pictures in a 12x12, but that still leaves me with one empty page! So, since I have about an album a year for the boys, I thought I would have them draw a picture every year that I can slide in the last page of the book, and have it so we can see it when we look at their book for that year! Genius! Here is Noah hard at work on his page…he was VERY excited to use my special scrapbooking paper;)
All snuggled up for our morning project...
The finished project! Do you see my long, green hair? I think we need to flip that around… :)
A little journaling included from Mom & Dad...

That is such a sweet, great idea!
That is so special that you do that for your boys! Your little note almost brought me to tears. So sweet.
thanks Heather;) Not sure why I hadn't thought of that before! But it's a great way to save a memory and not have a ton of crafts from when they were little. Jakey has been REALLY into looking at them now, which is fun!
