So if you're like me and have a lot of time at night (Fh works the graveyard shift ) Anyway, I started making some scrapbooks as part of my gifts for my BMs. Im no Martha Stewart, but honestly, I had a lot of fun making them-and reminiscing at the old pics I mean what else were they going to do sit in a box for years.... Here's a few pics. Sorry they're huge-but on a brighter note, you can get awesome deals at AC Moore and Michaels for scrapbooking supplies!

Its not that hard honestly. I always used to screw up my arts and crafts projects in girl scouts, and thought this would be bad, but its really a lot of fun. (I know Im a dork)
FH really needs to go back to the day shift lol

Now you have inspired me to attempt it!
Unfortunately, I just don't have a lot of pictures of some of my bridesmaids! Maybe if I decide to do something like this I would have to do something else in place of the scrapbooks for them..?

I have one BM that I dont have many pics of her-she said she doesnt want a scrap book but thats just bologna Im not going to just NOT include her ya know? Im going to scrounge up as many pics as i can of her and buy some stickers and stuff to describe her. Shes a huge Met/Jets fan so I'm going to try to incorporate some of that into it. You can always put things in to describe them-like their likes, music (get stickers), interests-if they like to ski or go to the beach stuff like that.

My cat is more crafty than me so it would be very interesting to see how the scrapbooks would come out!

That is true! From what I saw it looks like you wrote things in the books too? Did you include notes to them and stuff?? For my FSIL I love her to death but I literally have 3 pictures of her so I would have to fill it up with a LOT of extra stuff! Maybe I can leave blank pages and take lots and extra pictures whenever I see her? I guess I could also inclue pictures form the bachelorette party and shower if I can finish it on time!

Well on one of the girls, its not that I ran out of pics, I actually wanted to keep some, so on the last page, I wrote something like 'moving on to the next chapter' and put a post it on the next page and put 'place picture here' (shes trying to have a baby-so I thought it would be perfect to put a sono pic in when the time comes.

I cant find the size on them, but they're medium sized. I know thats lousy info-but they're the generic type of scrapbook at Ac Moore. Not huge and not tiny. You'll spot them in the aisle.
