This is what I've been working on for the last few weeks (months). At one of the scrapbook store garage sales I bought someone's project they started that contained: cut out letters, a few layouts and other finished elements for an 8X8 album. I bought it to make Alton his own album that showcased his personality for each letter of the alphabet. It was going to take a long time to piece this album together until I found an 8X8 album from Hobby Lobby that had 12 completed pages in it with the same color scheme. It didn't take me long to do the album once I got started. I of course started to get burned out around letter "l" and changed my gears from being creative to just getting it complete. This is where I struggle: Taking time to make it a true treasure vs. just getting it done. Sometimes I sacrifice my creativity because I can't stand a project being incomplete. Will my kids ever notice - no, but will I always know I could've done better? Yes. Oh well. Anyway, A-Z, each letter showcasing a bit of Alton's personality from age 1-3. It was a good way to catch up without doing layouts of events which I normally do. Marisa has her own 12X12 album showcasing her personality but of course when I showed her Alton's ABC album she asked, "Can you make one for me too?". Ugh. We'll see....
