My New Hobby

It's too cold outside for my liking, so I needed to find something to do inside the house that would occupy my time when I'm not studying. I love taking pictures, and especially 'Picniking' them. I have all these pictures that I print out and put in picture frames, but I wanted to do a little bit more.  Growing up over the years (middle school through college) I've done a lot of scrapbooking.  I haven't made one in a few years though, so I decided to start back up again.  My boyfriend's mom is so helpful.  She gave me a new book to use.  My first book is of me and my boyfriend. We've been best friends for almost 7 years now, and we've been through a lot.  I found all of our old pictures from high school and college.  It's crazy to see how young we looked. The first weekend I got through probably 20 pages, and I have so many more to do.  I went to Michael's Arts and Crafts store and bought the paper and stickers.  My first purchase was kind of pricey, but then I went online and found coupons to Michael's. My second visit, everything I bought ranged from $0.11 to $0.49.  What a bargain! 

Some themes that I have so far:
-birthdays
-vacations
-holidays
-hobbies that we share
-sporting events
-dinner dates at new restaurants
-concert pictures and tickets
-movie ticket stubs

If you read this, and have any ideas on new themes for more pages, leave me a comment.  I can't wait to add more to the book. :)


My next scrapbook is going to be of me and my friends.  I have sooo many pictures with them.  I feel like I've finally found my core group of friends (after high school and college), that I feel like I'm going to be friends with for the rest of my life.  And it's really important to me, that I have pictures of all those memories we've shared. I don't want to forget anything.
