I'm a little behind

Truth be told I like that I am not caught up on my scrapbooking. I think that would so depress me. In this industry there is so many new fun things to use and try that if I didn't have baby pics, Christmas, or even Halloween to scrapbook I would be heartbroken...LOL...so maybe not that bad but close. I hope to never catch up because I love all things scrapbooking. On to Joshua's page. I belong to a stamp club and every month we do a page WELLLLL I am not so good at getting pictures on those pages but I really need to be. So I have been adding pics to my uncompleted pages and I really like how they are turning out. This is my oldest son Josh trimming the tree. TALK ABOUT A HAIR PULLING EXPERIENCE!!! hee hee hee, I realize the appeal that trimming the tree held for them at 4, or 8, or even 10 just isn't there at age 20 but come on humor your picture taking, scrapbooking mother, AM I RIGHT!!! Actually Josh is one of mine that will do it but he is usually the last one and I only ever get like 2 pictures. This year he actually stayed and did maybe 8, be still my heart....LOL....He and Jillian and of course the younger kiddos were my troopers and I love them for it. Steven and Zachary, I love too but they have other interests and tree trimming isn't among them. One day they will again and they will remember the Christmas carols playing, the cookies that were freshly baked, and the hot chocolate that was waiting to be drunk when the tree was complete and we could sit back and admire the tree and the lights. When they have kids my holiday traditions I have made special for them will come rushing back and they too will fall in love with decorating the tree once again. I sure hope so. Thanks for letting me ramble on, as usual...

I miss scrapping with you!!

We tried to call the other night because tickets were $29 and we wanted to see if Zack could come out for a few weeks.

For $29, you should come too. I would even paper scrap again with you...lol

Too cute pages, and now I've looked at your entire blog,and I'm so sad that I didn't start mine sooner! What a great job you are doing Susan. Love all you do all the time -- you are one of my idols!
