Broken Promise
I did something this week that I vowed I would never do. Because of my promise, I am a little ashamed to admit to what it is that I did, but I really should begin the healing process........here it goes......I scrapbooked. Yes, I did a little scrapbook. Mae's teacher had sent home a packet of empty pages that we were to fill with pictures of Mae that marked the growth and developement in her life. And being the crafty person that I am I could not just slap on some pictures and call it good. No, I had to do it right, I had to make it look great. When the teacher is done with the pages she will then have it bound and made into a book, so this is something that Mae will have forever. Because of this, I felt compelled to make the pages into something that she could enjoy and look back on later in life. And it did turn out rather nice. I am not surprised, it's just that I never wanted to get into scrapbooking because I don't need another thing in my life to make me feel guilty for not getting to it or working on it. I do not need to behind in another project! I wonder if I will have to make one for Caleb and Isabel later, when they are in kindergarten? I will wait and see for I am not about to embark on another scrapbook!

Hi Deanne - I couldn't get to your blog for a while, but I finally was able to get here - it is so cute!
I try to stay away from scrapbooking, too - I love other people's scrapbooks, but I don't need the guilt!
I am going to link you to my sidebar - hope you don't mind!
Hi Deanne,
My reason for not scrapbooking is the same as yours. :)
I hope I get to see the pages you made some time.
Heart, E
Hi Deanne, I too don't scrapbook, although I seem to collect supplies.
I like your blog, and it's fun to see what your up too!
By the way, I did get your letter a couple of years ago. We were in the middle of a remodel, and the letter got misplaced before I could respond to you. I'm sorry.
Take care!
Heather
Heather~ Thank you for letting me know what happened to that letter! I have wondered what happened since I sent it and was so sure it was you! No problem! All is forgiven! And I TOTALLY understand what it means to remodel!! (so glad that is over!)
