So I am cranking it back up again. As for the guilts well am I right in saying every mother feels guilty, guilty for not being organised, guilty for not having the housework done, guilty for not paying that phone bill, guilty for not keeping up to date on your babies scrap album. Well hello yes to all the above and more. This year has been very emotional year for me losing my Dad and I just haven't felt that I wanted to scrap and just have spent months running on auto pilot.
I decided a few weeks ago when I couldn't believe I had thousands of photos of Boston and nothing was scrapped an in an album. So I went through all his photos and printed thumbnails then went through my complete stash and put papers and embellishments together with the photos in a sleeve in date order ready to scrap. Okay I had a shopping spree at Scrap Therapy as well to get the must have papers. Well it's just what I need to kick me up the butt.
This is the stash that I purchased and my 3 albums and 78 layouts to do later.
This has now turned into 3 albums
So it was time to start, this is the first page I have done for Boston's album. I have used Echo Park Little Boy Collection showing his love of driving Dadda's carcar up and down the cul de sac.
I have to say I am really enjoying scrapping now, no pressure no-one cares how I scrap or what I scrap (Boston certainly doesn't) and I can do it when I want how I want. It's a nice feeling. Gotta say it's has so much more meaning when you get to scrap your own child and cry as you write the journaling or laugh at there antics....
Well I have to get ready for work tonight but thought I would load this first page up and share another one tomrorow.
Hugs to you and yours have a great night

Hi Jane,
I haven't read any blogs since forever, but I do love the fact that you are back into it!!!
Ohhh Yes the big word GUILT, it can be such a bugger at times. Especially when you are a mother!
I haven't scrapped a god damn thing in such a long time and haven't blogged in just as long! So after reading your lil post I am off to scrap something and blog it.
Your lil man has grown so much! Hope everything else in your world is wonderful.
