About a week ago, I got a call from a woman I had previously done some scrapbooking for (Marge). It was probably close to two years ago, so I was completely surprised to hear from her, and to find out she had more albums for me to make. The scrapbooking I did last time was pictures of her grandchildren. We just used their professional pictures, so all I really had to do was mat them and label them. On the phone she said she now wanted me to make albums of her children's pictures, so I figured it was the same type of thing.
I got quite a surprise when I went to her house and she had 4 separate bags ready for me--one for each child--and they contained not only professional portraits, but also snapshots, diplomas, programs, and more! I get to tear apart the old albums (oldest child was born in 1969), put everything in order, and scrapbook it.
I've made a pretty good dent in oldest child's pile. Got the old album torn up and everything into some semblance of chronological order. It's hard when I don't know these people and nothing has dates on it. So the chronology won't be perfect, but it will be close. Some of the pictures weren't very good quality to begin with and are really starting to fade. I made borders for every page and am adhering all the pictures. then I will go back and do embellishments.
"The Evolution of My Scrapbooking Style" will be a good topic for another post.
