I got my kit in the mail for SEPTEMBER and I already know what album I am making with it.  The only hint I will give you is that it will be shaped to match the kit theme.  Be sure to head on over to the MPTH store and BUY YOUR KIT!!

I have posted more pictures of the “Life Is Good” Echo park album on my blog if you want to see more.  Thanks for looking

I also wanted to bring up another subject, since it pertains to my album.  I don’t usually scrap chronologically.  There are reasons for that.  The main reason is that when my daughter Vanessa was little, I was busy being a mom and working 60+ hours a week so I didn’t pay much attention to the photos I took of my angel pie (yes, I totally regret it now, but that’s life, lets move on). 

So I have a huge box of unorganized photos and most of them do not have places, dates or captions on the back.  So what would you do?  Well, rather than make myself crazy about my box of photos, I went a different route.  I scrap by Theme rather than by year, especially since I can’t remember any dates (age is setting in).  I like this method  because it frees me up for what I “feel” like scrapping.  I do not get caught up in having to scrap the next event in my year book because I have several books going at the same time.  For example my Holiday or my Vacation albums. 

Having said that, I do (NOW) put years and captions on my current photos, but it is so much easier to do that since we have digital cameras and computers to organize our photos. So my mini album is about Vanessa and the Things I love About Her.  Not a year or an event.  I picked out cute photos of my baby girl (she will always be my baby) and I journaled about my angel pie’s character rather than the date I took the photo.
