I give you credit. I'm taking the easy way out and doing a photo book from either Snapfish or Shutterfly or something. I love scrapbooking but just don't have the knack for it.

Re: 1 year Scrapbook.. those moms who made one ?
I have pictures of mine if you want to see some pages.
It is by no means professional AT ALL. I put a ton of pressure on myself to finish it by the first year - so I'm happy I did. I'm happy with the way it came out - but it's not like Ang's

I am just about finishe with her first year scrapbook and she's going to be 3 next month

These are the pages I did:
Birth Announcement
The Hospital Days
A Mother's Love
Daddy's Girl
Visitors - Friends and Family
First Bath
First Halloween
First Thanksgiving
First Christmas
First Easter
First Trip to the Park
First Room (she didn't get her own room until she was 3 mos and we are moving next month so I want her to have record of it)
Christening
Birth thru 12 months collage
I can take pics later of some of the pages if you would like me to.

Re: 1 year Scrapbook.. those moms who made one ?
Here are the poems I used - some I tweeked:
Opening Poem
I am so very special
I have been from the start
Before they held me in their arms
My family held me in their hearts
And like a single drop of rain
That on still waters fall
My life and love will ripples make
And touch the lives of all
So read this precious story
As step by step I grow
I am a special blessing and gift
As each page here will show.
Closing Page Poem
Cry hard, laugh loud, be humble stand proud
And don't be afraid of your fears
Let love break your heart, just be who you are
All of this, all that there is...
I wish for you.
You can never know which way you're world will turn
Or how the stars are gonna fall.
Salty tears, they burn
And there are lessons you will learn.
But you'll be stronger for it all
Yes you will...
Cry hard, laugh loud
Be humble, stand proud
Hold onto your faith with all your heart
Be careful, be brave
Be still but don't stay in any one place for too long
Remember God's grace, give more than you take
All of this, all that there is
I wish for you

Re: 1 year Scrapbook.. those moms who made one ?
I am trying to figure out how to post an album on here - then I'll post the pics
For the opening page of mine - I did a song that always reminded me of Jack.
It's called "The things we've handed down"
The pages are (not in this order I don't think):
Sonogram page
It's a boy
Family pics in the hospital
Announcement page
First Bath
First cereal
Christening
Halloween
Christmas
Jack and his puppy
Jack and his friends
Family page
Grandparents (2 pages)
Friends
Valentines Day
Easter
First Haircut
My page to him
My Dh's page to him
Our family page
Jack turning one
Let me see if this link works:
It didn't. Here are some of the pics:
