falling in love again










on sunday, i felt like getting crafty, just for fun.
we were home, sick-as-dogs & i was {desperate} for some stimulation...

so i decided to scrapbook, just for me, just for fun.
i counted, & from all the scrapbook classes @ ETC i have done over the years,
i have about 20 albums & over 600 layouts without pictures!

so i started scrapping & journaling our honeymoon
+ a few favorites from our engagement & wedding.

i slapped those pictures down on my pre-done pages,
[the blue layout was from the first class i ever taught!]

& added a few embellishments & sentiments & new title-age here & there.

i fell in love again.
i love this hobby.
there's just something about recording stories that makes me so, so happy.
makes me aware of my blessings.

reminiscing of our earlier days & putting my memories down on paper has been so therapeutic.
i am even more in love and feel even more secure than i did back on that happy day in 2003.
how far we've come. [SO] many lessons we've learned in the past 9 years.
through the good times & the bad....so blessed {and deeply thankful} to be married to my very best friend. ♥

I love all of them and would love to see the album of "unpictures". I could use some cute ideas to steal. I hope you are feeling better. Sundays are usually my only time (when I don't have a million meetings back to back) to create or just sit around the paper, embleshiments, etc and dream.
