The quest for the right words...

Scrapbooking is not only about the pictures, it is about the whole picture that tells the story of that moment in time. For this you need the right words to go with your pictures.

I'm always on a quest for the right words to go with my special memories. So, today I started a section on my site for Titles and Page Toppers. I hope you will share some of yours by leaving a comment.

Swimming Race Picture Tip

When taking pictures of your children while they are in a swimming race, take note - actually WRITE IT DOWN - what lane they are in. All heads look the same in the swim caps :(

3 Reasons Why I like Snapfish.com

Reason #1: They send quality pictures.
Reason #2: The price is right.
Reason #3: I like ordering my prints at midnight after I've uploaded and then not having to drive to go pick them up.

If you're wondering, yes I got my pictures from the wedding already uploaded and ordered.

My daughter is the flower girl...

Going to a wedding today and my daughter is the flower girl, so I'm looking for ideas on what to take as creative pictures. Here is what I've come up with so far:
1.) with the bride
2.) with the other flower girl(or ring bearer - there is none for this wedding)
3.) coming down the aisle
4.) alone, showing off dress and hair
5.) hands clasped to the basket of flowers
6.) ???? any help ????

Oh, I am excited about this blog!!

I hope it doesn't too long to kick this one off cuz I'm so looking forward to this blog! I'm thinking about organizing the way I do my scrapbooking - because I need to - hopefully some of you will join me ;-)
