A couple of new things in my life.......






Wills sister Kathryn (my sister too just not by blood!!!) has known me since about the very day that I met Will. In fact in some ways I think that I actually just kind of took her spot in Will's life. She used to have to make him food and clean up after him for years since she was his little sister!! Needless to say you would never know that these girls belong to her and mine belong to me. Her girls have blondish and reddish hair and my girls have dark brown and look more like her. So the first new thing in my life is that we have decided to trade kids for a few hours a week and I think we are both loving the fact that we can have a little freedom! These are her cute girls and don't worry she has 3 boys also to go along with that.

So I have been trying to figure out a good way to put all of my photos together in a book without scrapbooking. I actually have seen the coolest scrapbooking stuff just cannot find the time in my life right now to do it. So I ended up buying some white notebooks with the clear plastic on front and putting cool scrapbook paper inside the front and back cover and waalaa it is still creative but easy. For some reason I just cannot buy something completely done I always have to add my touch to it or figure out a cheaper way to do it. It is the pioneer in me i guess! I will probably end up putting the year on there somewhere. So go out and get your white notebooks!

That does work...ok you know what I am going to do now!! But where did you get the sleeves for it? I like the paper that would work well for my silouhettes.

Great idea for the photos. I have a closet full of scrapbook stuff that I have no time to use but I think I could find enough time to put the photos into a binder. Thanks for the tip. You have pretty cite nieces.
