Happy Birthday! write. click. scrapbook.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you are enjoying your birthday blog hop!

To help celebrate, we are all sharing something we love about write. click. scrapbook. This is a tricky one for me, as I spend about 30 hours a week with my baby and am at a bit of loss as for what to say, besides everything.

First, the team. For me, it is having the camaraderie of the team. Together we have babies, lose jobs, get jobs, say hello to babies, and goodbye to teens. We sometimes giggle so hard we snort. We laugh. We smile. As I read their blogs, and their pages, I am blown away by the quality of soul that they have. Amazing women who are so much more than their pages. I am honored to have them in my life.

The thing I love most about the write. click. scrapbook. site is that we create pages that are real. Pages that represent our real lives. Ups and downs. Pages that are artistic, but that remain true to their purpose of storytelling and memory preservation. I love that we are longtimers. I love that we are more concerned with your pages being authentic than we are with them being trendy. I love having a scrapbooking place to call home where the team is supportive and amazing, and where I can grow old. A place that celebrates our craft and hobby. And realizes that scrapbooking is a way of life and a way of living. I hope when you stop by, you feel our passion for scrapbooking, and are filled with a desire to make more or better pages.

This month, for our gallery, we paired up with a teammate. I was fortunate to get Karen Grunberg. The thing I love most about Karen's pages is how tenderhearted they are. I love that she fills boy pages with pink and butterflies. I love her design sense. And her titles. Her long journal-rific titles!

Here is a peek at my layout.

Thank you for making write. click. scrapbook. special!
