Sampling from my "Scrapbook"

So I am years behind on my version of scrapbooking, but here are a couple recent pages.  I am hoping that with a little more discipline and combining some goals I will be able to keep you posted here (and keep up to date with my photobook.)  So, here is the White Coat Ceremony page (that I will have to redo because it is not my standard size...don't know how I made that mistake) and the first half of September.  Hopefully by the time naptime is over, I will be able to add the latter part of September and I will have met part of my goal.

(If you want to read the text or see it bigger you can click on the image and it will open full size in another window.)


This is how I "Scrapbook".  After I finish a full year (I have several pages for every year since we were married, but no complete year) then I drag and drop them into a photobook, will magically push "publish" and 2-6 weeks later will have a fabulous Family Yearbook.  That's the goal...

I'm kind of at a funny spot with my blog(s) because I don't like spending time on something that almost but doesn't quite accomplish any of my goals.  It almost accomplish the keeping in touch goal -But not quite because it is a one way conversation. I almost keep a journal -but not really because I go away for months at a time.  I almost don't waste too much time- but then I get distracted and want a new header or layout or something, and then I waste a couple naptimes or neglect the kids.  Anyway, at least if I post the book page you are getting a little update (I am still almost keeping in touch) but I will actually accomplish the goal of being up to date on this years yearbook. (well, up to date from September on.)  And this won't take more than a couple of minutes outside of the time it would already take me to do the page.  You didn't need to know all that, sorry, I ramble.  But, that's the new gameplan.  I'll see you again soon, and then at least once a month from here on...

I just do Picassa collages. Start with a picture pile and then size and arrange them how I want to. THe only downside is you can't do the text and pictures at the same time so you have to make the collage and then hope that you can get the text to fit in the space you've left for yourself.

Cute kids. Lookin' good in that white coat! I'm on an ICU rotation and, believe me, we are grateful for our pharmacists around here. Welcome to the complex ever-evolving world of the American healthcare system!
