Apology

The confession: I'm afraid I've been more than neglectful about this page.
The excuses: Life seems to keep me from doing everything I want to do. The calendar fills up too fast, and I don't seem to get around to the fun of crafting like I wish to do.
The apology: I'm so sorry!

Planning:
I do have a big scrapbook project that I'm trying to get into. It has been a long time in coming, and perhaps I can share here as I get into it.

I've never been one who is compelled to spend time in genealogy research. However, I realize that if I don't get busy and put together some of my family history, it will not be done. I've been trying to find information on some of my ancestors: The standard dates and such, some pictures and other records, and some personal stories. My plan is to use my love of scrapbooking to create an interesting album of my family history. Actually, when I get one made, I'll probably duplicate it for some other family members.

Supplies:
I have a ton of photographs that I've gathered from my mother and other family members.
I invested in a dedicated Epson Perfection V500 photo scanner.
My closet is full of Creative Memories scrapbooks and other accessories that will help me make beautiful albums.

The Promise: I'm excited about doing it and will try to post here to let those interested know how things are coming along.
