I almost forgot to put this one up this week.

Pictures taken by K on my Iphone because I had sent the camera with Jim over the weekend since he was deer hunting. He got two deer by the way...a buck on Saturday and a doe on Sunday. Woo hoo!

Walk to 40 Weeks

I know it has been FOREVER since I have blogged. I suppose the burning passion to write has dimmed quite a bit and with how full life is, sometimes I just can't justify spending any time blogging. I kind of have to choose between that and other hobbies or relaxation time.

Speaking of hobbies, you all know I digital scrapbook, and when I came across this idea off a friend's blog of a way to document a pregnancy, I thought I would really like it. It's called the Walk to 40 Weeks, with the main focus to take a front and side picture of the growing belly and to write the little nugget a note every week. I have added a few "scrapbooking elements" to my final compositions. I didn't start until after week 20 because prior to that, there's not really much belly to document. :)

Here are the first three weeks of pics I took. I wish I had a nice camera or a talented photographer, or both perhaps, that could capture us every week, but alas, the little Cybershot point-and-shoot will have to suffice. Thank God for photoshop.

One of the reasons I disappeared in December...

I thought I would post a slideshow of a digital wedding scrapbook album that I created for my bro & sis-in-law, WIll & Laura, as a Christmas present this past year (their wedding was in Nov of 08, just two months after J was born, and our whole fam was in it). This book took up a lot of my spare time (which was already at a premium) in December. They hadn't even printed any photos from the wedding, much less put together an album archiving the story, so this gift was very special. I had them all printed and slid them into a nice linen-covered album. You can click on the slideshow to go to my Photobucket and see the individual pics a little bigger if you want. I am trying to add a song to my blog so that music plays while you watch it, so be sure to have your volume up in case I figure that out. :)



The pages are 12x12, so if the text looks too small to read on here, it's not in person when you see it. I kept things in their color scheme...brown, green, gold, and of course, black and white. Their photos were taken by the infamous Tom Warwick (color), assisted by Dave Boesch (B&W). So good!

If you are a scrapper and want the credits for the scrapbook materials I used, message me and I can get them to you. Since this album is over 45 pages long, that was too much info to put in this post.
