I just realized I haven't posted ANY pictures on my blog yet. Note to self, do that.
Anyway, today I finally finished making the invitations for my baby shower. My mom and mother-in-law are throwing it for me this March, so I had to get on getting the invites sent out! I'm so bad about waiting until the last minute for that kind of thing. I'll post a picture of the finished product as soon as I can download one onto the computer. I think they're very sweet and professional looking if I do say so myself. :-)

I've always loved scrapbooking so making my own invitations and such is more like fun time than a chore. I can get absolutely get lost in pasting photos and tying embellishments onto a finished piece. And of course my favorite part is journaling. I think scrapbooking special memories is so much more rewarding than just throwing pictures in an album. It's hard to describe a memory to somebody while just pointing to a picture. Scrapbooking allows me to convey the emotion behind the times I want to remember.
For my 21st birthday my husband turned the bonus room above our garage into "my room." He installed two giant shelving units as my walk around closet at one half of the room, and set up a desk area at the other end to turn into my scrapbooking corner. It was an amazing sacrifice for him to give me a whole room, and sadly I've let it fall apart. It's become the catch-all for storage that I have yet to organize. My goal for the month of March is to get it completely cleaned out and set up to how we originally envisioned it. I'm going to have a lot more material to scrapbook here in a few months, and I have a feeling I'm also going to need a place to get away to just be "me." You tend to lose sight of yourself when you get married and then have children, so I want to make sure to have an environment conducive to maintaining my original passions.
