Sitting at home completely overwhelmed about being a semi-single mother (hubby was in Afghanistan) of a newborn, I wanted NEEDED something to keep
me from going insane. Eat, Sleep, Poop, Repeat! My mind was on auto pilot!
Masen was all I did – all day long! Nap time (YAY) means Mommy time! What do I
do? I sit at the computer and stare at all of the pictures of my beautiful red
headed baby! I decided I really need to start on Masen’s baby book but I didn’t
want just an old boring baby book! I wanted something that my son would be
honored to show his future wife and children! Something that he would look at
and with a smile from ear to ear say my mom made this! I had NO clue what to do
until my mom gave me a book that she had made with wedding pictures from my
wedding. I really liked that idea, so I enlisted the help of my mom. All I
needed was a computer, photoshop, digital scrapbook kits, pictures and a little
bit of patience! I created my first scrapbook page on June 2, 2011! I knew
instantly that this is what I had envisioned my son showing his family in the
future! I set my self a deadline, November 22, 2011, (Masen’s 1st
birthday) to complete the first year! I was a little shy of the date but I DID
it! I completed the first year of my son’s life right there on my computer!
