Another Sunday and another confession...I'm hoping no one will be offended by it. I'm a single scrapper. No children, no boy in my picture. But since my newest nephew was born, I have come to a realization...babies/children actually make my scrapbooking easier. It gives me a subject, purpose, and let's just face it - they're adorable. I've always suspected that those scrappers with children had one leg up on me. The boy has confirmed that. However, I know I have the great privilege of extra time. Still, there's only so much one girl can scrap about books, cupcakes, and a banshee cat. And trust me, as an introvert, I'm not nearly interesting enough to scrapbook year round. I don't travel or go to fancy restaurants. My life is pretty small - and I'm okay with that. I just have to confess - babies make scrapbooking something special. Here's just one more piece of evidence...

This was not an easy layout to finish. I had some problems with overworking it. Still, it's done and I enjoy it all the same. Please note the elephants and his signature paper. He gives me a reason to tell stories where there was a void before. And that's definitely a part of me. I would never put that off on anyone else. Scrapping means different things for different people. I just know - this baby has been a big part of jumping me into the action phase of creating. I appreciate him so much. So that's it for this Sunday evening. I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend. Until then...
P.S. I also greatly appreciate that right now he's with his momma (my sister) while I write this blog post. I know what I have is pretty great too, just really different.
