A Labor Of Love
Date of occurrence:
March 18, 2009.
Hopefully, Oma is years away from finishing the project.
I have finally started to do, what I had intended for so long now and had not gotten around to: print out all the posts on our grandsons and put them in a memory book.
I have a book for each one of the boys. A dark green one for our little Kc and a maroon one for our little Leo. I will have to wait and see, what to get for number three. :-)
I chose books, that had a nice leathery look, a hard cover, plastic see-through pages, in which I can insert the posts. That will protect them from the hand of time, dust and dirt. I can also add on as much as I like. The refills are easy to come by.
What I had not realized was, that I had already so many posts. I ended up with a huge stack of paper. I am in the middle of sorting, ordering, cutting and pasting. Once that is done, the rough draft is ready. That is where the real fun begins.
I plan on sprucing up and embellishing the pages. You could probably call it 'Scrap booking'. It will take a while though, before I can get to that. Hopefully, it will also be an ongoing process. At least one for years to come. That's okay.
It is a labor of love. :-)
