Title:

A Family That Scrapbooks Together

Post Text

IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING...why I don't have any pages posted with this post it's because I'd like for you to visit two other home pages. Cheer Girl and Pumpkin Baby are my daughters. We all love to scrapbook. I haven't been able to create any new pages of my own because I promised the girls to help them with the two that they have each posted. In fact, I am proud to say that I had the Scrapbook of the Week last week and this week it's Cheer Girl! Pumpkin Baby (the name of her favorite stuffed animal, a bear in a pumpkin outfit) just posted her first two pages...the tears if she doesn't win...oh boy! I'm fortunate enough to be a stay-at-home mom and a crafty mom, too. It gives me great pleasure to do activities with my girls, and my "step-daughter" (her dad and I live together but we're not married -- yet!). I think some parents find that if they sit at the computer making a scrapbook page than it's taking away from their time to work on the 'puter or doing housework. Others, I know, don't want the kids "wasting" their paper or playing with their "good" scissors or punches. But, why not share with them something that you are passionate...and protective about? It will not only give you time together but it will show the kids that they are valuable to you as well! I've made the suggestion that Scrapbook Flair have a gallery of pages made just by kids. Have you seen Foxer's work? It's too cute! So, get the kids by your side, show them how to create a page or if they're on the little side, like mine, help them out! I can't describe the smile and the pride on their faces when they see that page with THEIR name under it! Remember, the family that scrapbooks together is having FUN together!
