I started a scrap book...*pics*

Kay's thread on her scrap book of the dogs, inspired me to start one :)

I *LOVE* doing artsy things...so I am surprised I didn't start something like this sooner, but i think i am hooked now :)

I started one for Christian ( my skin kid)...Dale will be next :)

Joann's is having a great sale, only $5 for the scrap book, and then i bought some supplies too...

Anyway, if you are interested, here is the fist page ...

There is a poem I wrote right after Christian was born, and that is to the right of his pic...

Here it is, incase anyone is interested:

Welcome Sweet Angel...

We have good news to share,
our baby is on the way;
so patiently we wait;
with every passing day.

Who will he look like,
what will we see;
will he look like you;
will he look like me.

I dream of our angel,
with tears in my eyes;
what a miracle from God;
these are happy cries.

I feel him so close,
with each kick on my side;
he’s growing so fast;
my tummy, I can’t hide.

I can’t wait to hold him,
my angel from above;
he’s all I’ve ever dreamed of;
my heart overflows with love.

This little boy is precious,
God has placed him in my arms;
I will guard him with my heart;
I will shelter him from all harms.

He needs me now for comfort,
he cries for me to be near;
I hold my sleeping baby;
angel, you never have to fear.

His eyes so blue are gleaming,
his smile so cute and petite;
I love his little fingers;
oh, and those tiny feet!

His giggle is contagious,
his coos so soft and sweet;
his frowns are even cute;
but those cries, let’s not repeat 

Someday he’ll be grown,
and time will take it’s measure;
but for now I’m gonna savor,
this little baby, my treasure!!

I love you, Christian!!

Love,
Mommy

Aww! That's so awesome! I really want to start one... but I'm BROKE till next week... lmao. :p

What a beautiful poem ............... :)

Can't wait to see more .....

Clearly you got your artistic talent from your father! :p Although I do have to admit that with Christian as your "subject" who could go wrong! Nice work! I love it!

That is so cute...just remember when he grows up not to give it to him...keep it yourself. I did one for my son, gave it to him for Christmas 2 years ago..he got a divorce this summer and its gone...his EX has "no idea" what happened to it and he says she took ALL the photos, albums, etc and it was with them...so its gone~ sniff sniff...

How sweet and what a wonderful poem.

I can't wait to see more pages. :)

I love the idea of scrap books/albums. I filled many of them
when my kids were younger. I put pictures, cards they had made,
and even some of their artwork. On rainy day afternoons when
the children were bored with their toys, I'd get out the albums
and we all sat on the couch & played 'remember when'.

They always got a good laugh seeing their baby pictures.:D

Very cute!

I'd love to see more. :)

What a wonderful scrapbook and a beautiful poem. I have a scrapbook and really enjoy doing it. Isn't it fun?! :D Please post more pictures of your scrapbook I would really like to see some more pages of it! :D

Beautiful!!!!!!!
