37 years

  

No it’s not an anniversary but it is something to celebrate. It’s only been on my to do list for the last 18 years. Oh! That makes it a bucket list accomplishment.  I finally finished my middle child’s photo books! Yes he is 37 years old, the photos are no longer in boxes they are in books. I did fairly well at putting photos in books the first 4 years of his life then our third child was born and the photos just kept piling up. Oldest son’s photos were put in order for his high school graduation. I had a good start on second son’s for his graduation but then……maybe the sewing machine and quilts were calling me. I didn’t finish the photo books. We moved again another delay. After all these years and how many moves?!? Putting them in chronological order was impossible. I organized them by holidays and events and branches of the family. All his birthdays are together and I could put them in chronological order. First day of school was a two page spread, Easter, Halloween, sports, buddies, Christmas and more. A whole book of just hunting and fishing. It’s finished!!!!  DD’s photo books were compiled before her high school graduation 12+ years ago while we were in a rental and most of my stuff was in storage. I’m done scrapbooking for my kids. No more feeling guilty. Ann
