May Remembered

Sharing another layout from my garden scrapbook this morning.  This one created a year ago with a grouping of three favorite photos from the month.  All taken in my garden and all make an interesting comparision of what a different year 2008 has been.  This May, the burr oak is barely beginning to leaf out, I haven't seen a western tiger swallowtail yet and my centranthus ruber (Jupiter's Beard) is certainly not blooming.  Looking at the layout, I am happy I took the time to scrap it and for the information it provides.  Pictures, paper & decorative tidbits are my preferred way of documentation.  It's a little surprising to me that another May will have come and gone in seven more days.  I don't know how it slipped by so fast... I will spend some time this holiday weekend making sure I have the month recorded.  How will you preserve the memories of May 2008?

Wow. What a wonderful layout! I sure wish I made the time to keep up with my scrapbooking. So many things I want to do and so little time to do it all in. SIGH!

I've basically just got my blog. I may take some time this weekend, but Cheesehead's birthday is next weekend. Since money is so limited the kids and I were thinking about making him something for it. That means I need to clean out under the stairs to see if I can find all of the supplies that have been stored under there since we moved here.

Thank you Cinj! I give up sleep quite a bit so I can get work/hobbies done. I don't necessarily recommend it but sometimes that's the only way I ever get anything finished for me. I hope you do make something for your hubby. I think those are the best gifts!
