I have an entire set of shelves devoted to the two-inch wide three ring binder page protected scrapbooks. They are full of pictures and drawings and the like and they make me happy. (On Mark's recent birthday he and I looked through several of them, then when the big kids came home for dinner they looked at them too.) They feel like time worth spent.
But then, I decided to make Snapfish photo books. They are easy and can be done without pulling out all the scrapbook detritus. As a big bonus, they take up less shelf space.
But then what to do with all the scrapbook type stuff? The ticket stubs, the play and concert programs, the birthday cards. I had been collecting all the stuff for a few years and finally decided a scrapbook with just that stuff and no pictures would be boring.
So I bought each kid a box. I sorted the stuff in less than an hour and some day I will give each kid their box (I apologize in advance to their future unsuspecting spouse). Then they can keep it lovingly on a shelf, put it in a scrapbook or throw it away.
In the meantime, I'm caught up. On one thing. And that's something!
