finished the honeymoon section of my scrapbook/ photo album yesterday, to a total of about five hours' work.
i basically came home form work on friday, put my things away, sat down at the table and started working.
i've already scoped out all the memorabilia i kept from the honeymoon. unfortunately, so far as i can remember my camera was still broken at the time so i have zero pictures from our honeymoon - which is a TRAGEDY, as we had a great time in seattle. but i did keep various receipts and fliers and maps, and from that i cobbled together a pictorial itinerary of our week in downtown seattle two years ago.
and i did the title and captions too! there's a lot of my very tiniest handwriting to accompany the various stages of our journey, fun things we did, etc. i only used a two-page spread for the whole thing, so i have a lot more memories that didn't make it on the pages, but at least the bare minimum is there for posterity, right?
and of course when i was starting out, i thought to myself, "i don't need to trim these pages, right? i can just be very delicate about sliding them in the sleeves, and it'll be fine." nope. the sleeves pop open around the pages when they're laid flat, and i ended up trimming one of them a tiny bit anyway. i'll probably go back and adjust them both at some point in the future.
next i need to tackle the wedding pages. oo-de-lally.
