Whilst sorting through the garage looking for items for this week's 'roadside rubbish collection' I found a scrapbooking album that belonged to Kieran (I know I know, what was it doing in the garage?). He only made four pages; of which none of them are dated ... but I think he made them about 3 years ago.
I know that you will understand when I say these are 'priceless'! As KP is now 13, I have about as much chance of him scrapbooking again, as I have of seeing snow at Christmas in Melbourne ....
It was all pre-Stampin' Up! days, but these pages are just so special. This one was made in a local scrapbooking store - it was a case of if you can't beat them join them for Kieran as he made this page with three friends - all girls!
I love this page. I remember sitting with him at the kitchen bench and watching him create the little pockets - inside the pocket is the score for each game. These pages are now safely stoed away in my album.
My kids have of course made cards (not so much now but definitely when they were younger), but then they were sent to the recipent and I will never see them again. These four pages are so special right now - let alone when he is 18 or has children of his own.
So be inspired to get the kids (and grand kids) involved too - a page a year would be nice wouldn't it, but if you have a boy like mine that would have been pushing it a bit too far, I'm just grateful for the little time he did spend sharing my hobby with me.
