Over ten years ago I started scrapbooking and since the onset of my newfound favorite past time, my favorite subjects have been my two son’s. I didn’t start scrap booking until about the time the youngest was about five or six years old. Many times I have wished that I had started when they were babies, but looking back I would never of had the time to scrap. Also, when you are just sta
rting out having children, money is also a consideration. There is nothing saying that a person can’t always go back and scrap those years later on in life, just be sure to save important items and make notes of events, dates, and anything that you may find useful later on. I don’t think you can ever have too much. Once the scrapping is done, that excess “stuff” can always be trashed!
My favorite subjects have allowed me to scrap countless pages of fishing, hunting, football, basketball, our pets, and lots of outdoor activities. At time I have had to struggle to get the photo, they would see me coming with the camera and take off running. This would not deter me!! I have learned how to use the zoom on my camera quite well. The photos I really like are the ones when the boy’s aren’t looking at the camera anyway. They just seem to be more real.
As much as the kid’s seem to hate have there picture taken, they really enjoy looking at the albums I have created. Now that they are older the seem to appreciate being able to get out the albums and remini
sce about the times past. It has surprised me how often when they have a girlfriend over, they like to get out the scrapbook. Well, maybe it is mostly that one particular album that has the photo’s from the summer we went home to Nebraska and they caught a wheelbarrow full of fish in one evening.
Good times!
Family is very important and I think it should be photographed as often as possible. My big thing is between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I gather my favorite subjects together including what ever pets we have at the time, for a family photo. I like to include these with Christmas cards each year. Some years it is more of a struggle than other years.
