As a special gift for my husband this year at Christmas time, I thought I'd take him on a little journey down "Memory Lane". He really loves that kind of thing anyway. So I dug through our basement, old photo albums, wedding photos that no one has looked at in 20 years. (sadly - most of my kids haven't even seen my old wedding photos). I sat in the office and scanned photo after photo for the best part of the day.
And here is the finished product. I love the modern digital scrapbooking options that you can find on places like shutterfly.com and snapfish.com. Anyone can publish a book in a short period of time! If you haven't tried it yet, you must check it out!
I started at the beginning with just him and me. I'd almost forgotten those days! Then added a photo journal page for each child and the family as the family kept growing and growing and growing.
It was a big hit of the holiday season - everyone has enjoyed the book. My children sat and poured over the photos, commenting that they had never seen this one and that one.
It would be a great idea for Father's day - start thinking ahead!

Wow. What a wonderful and thoughtful gift. One year my husband put all our old photos in books for me as a gift and it was something I will always remember. It was definitely a gift of love. I am sure all of your family will be blessed from your service for ever. What a good wife you are!
It's funny this post would be called blast from the past! Glad to see you're still around and doing well. Now I can keep up on you electronically!
I love that idea! And I loved seeing the old pictures of the two of you!
I make these books for my kids every years. I'm over scrapbooking. If I can do this anyone can. I love your hair in the second picture. The color is so pretty.
Wow! I love these pictures! What a good looking couple the two of you are!
How fun to see these!
