For years now I've been keeping some tidbits of our elf adventures and visits and planning to journal it better every year. One year I even made an alrtered notebook journal (which didn't work out too well because the pages where too thin...but the cover sure was cute. So it sat in my office with random letters and notes fromn the elves and copies of a few pictures crammed into it. About two years ago I bought a little scrapbook at the flea market. I at one point took the cover off the old notebook I had altered and added it to this scrapbook. What was my HANG UP with creating this fun little project? Mostly because I knew there were other random letters, notes, and pics that needed to be gathered....oh yes sometimes the office is a hodge podge with little goodies stuck here and there...(SIGH) Mostly because I wanted to get it perfect....ugh.
Well the other night Evan pulled the little scrapbook out with the crump[led notes etc and started looking through it....and I thought....you know what I might as well get into the book what I do have and add things if I find them later....because having SOME things documneted and in the book for Evan to look at is better than nothing! We started the elves in 2006 when Evan was a new born baby....why let my quest for perfect pervent ANY THING from being put in the book.....sooooooo......I've completed what I have for 2006-2007-2008 and I'm working on 2009.....I'm leaveing a few blank spaces and pages to add in those pics (when I print them) and the other tidbits I might find....
Here's the Title Page. It uses the old altered journal cover!
