Scrapbook Saturday at last
Well, I got in some scrapping on Saturday, albeit digitally, for the first time in a good nine or ten months. I actually had the kids help me with making a page about themselves—a little bit of “art class” on the computer. Noah still has to do his with me, but here are the two the other boys helped with:
I scrapped the story I posted about here in these two layouts:
And captured part of a summer day that never made it onto the blog. Yes, I used pink and red flowers on a layout with my boys—it matches the wild rose. Sue me. I need to use every excuse I can find to use flowers, 'cause I don't often have one!
In other news, I finished orchestrating another song for the musical last night. It is only the third one I have completed, but it was a biggie—almost eight minutes of music, a big production number that covers two scenes and is part of the opening sequence. Not including the “time off” I took in December, I think it still consumed 3-4 weeks of my life. I feel like it was quite an accomplishment to finish it! (Plus! I wrote a tango for part of it! That's a big deal... to me, at least!)
Happy Monday, friends!
Yesterday was the four-month anniversary of Levi's heaven birthday. Thanks to some wonderful friends, I got to spend the weekend at a scrapbooking retreat, and chose to use that time to add pages to Levi's memory album. And while doing so, I remembered the reasons I have to be thankful.
I already recorded too few memories of our short time with Levi on film. Now, while those memories are still as fresh as possible, I intend to scrapbook them all, and some that don't have pictures, too.
A memory-making day as a homeschooling family, plus a bit of scrapbooking nostalgia.
Wow, so much has happened last week/will be happening this week that I'm going to be posting a couple times this week. For today, because it's Monday, because it's been a while, and because I'm much better at posting these moments on Instagram and Facebook than keeping my blog updated, here's a 7 Things summary of what's been going on.
