Over the Christmas break I took an on-line class through Big Picture Scrapbooking. This is a website founded by Stacey Julian who started Simple Scrapbooks Magazine. The site features online scrapbook classes. Since I don't live by a scrapbook store I had wanted to try one of their classes. Around Christmas time they had a class called "Ornamental Memories" that involved making a mini album that highlights the stories behind your favorite Christmas ornaments. This was right up my alley because I have often thought about doing a layout about my ornaments.
While in Seattle I went to a scrapbook store and bought all my supplies (the supply list was given before the class started). When I got home the classroom had opened and I was able to look at the actual project and download the instructions. I put together the basic pages after Christmas but didn't get around to taking my photos of my ornaments until the day I took my tree down in January. Then last week the photos came in the mail from scrapbookpictures.com and I was able to put them into the album (they were pre-sized and cut to 4x4) and add the journalling last weekend.
It is a pretty simple little 6x6 book using one color scheme and design but I think it turned out really cute and I have 5-6 blank layouts in the back to add to as I acquire more meaningful ornaments!
I will enjoy looking at it each year during the holidays!

I'm anxious to see the book, some of those ornaments are really special to me too. It was one of the few goals I set at your birth that I kept. Love you!
