Today I didn't do anything special. We didn't even go see the fireworks... mainly because baby M was getting cranky and I'd rather put her to bed than deal with that... plus I don't know when fireworks stopped being all that interesting to me. I remember begging my parents to go see them when little, and then teenage years hit, and I was NOT interested (especially in the soaking oneself in repellant part vs. getting eaten alive...). But, it has been a good day. Not much different from any other day, but a good day nonetheless.
I figured I'd bulk my project 365 in with this post too... cause why not? So, below is my project 365 photo for day 31... July 1. Happy Canada Day, from Baby M!
I've been busy scrapbooking my wedding album lately. Only started again on Saturday... hadn't done one page since before I miscarried. I don't know why. I had 8 or 9 pages done... and have done another 8 since Saturday. And I like these ones way more than my previous pages... ah... tis the way of waiting too long in between, am I right? You learn more. I had a bummer moment today... took 2 hours hmmm-ing and haaaaa-ing over some pages that just did NOT look right to me. 2 hours. Nothing accomplished. Crazy. Baby M woke up and I figured I was NOT going to get any scrapbooking done today. After she went back for a nap, I tried again... something completely different, and completed those 2 pages in about 45 minutes... assembly and all. Go figure. But boy, do they look good! The following is a pic of it as a work in progress. I'll post other pics another time.
I'm pretty proud of it! I love the pack of paper I got. All I have of my ceremony pics are all black and white, so I'm trying to work with it by using mostly black and white paper, with hints of blue, green or yellow (more neutral tones) here and there. I think it's turning out nicely, although many of my older pages don't really work with the scheme. I'm wondering if I should redo them or just leave them for now? I can always do them later.
Anyway, that's about all I have to say. I haven't caught up with reading blogs for a couple of days now as I've not been online much... oops. So I'll have to do that later... when I find time again. Haha.
Again, Happy Canada Day to all you Canadians! :)
The End

Baby M just gets cuter and cuter.
And I hear ya on the fireworks thing, the mosquitoes win!
I don't understand scrapbooking as I have ZERO eye for design but I sure admire those of you who do!
Happy Canada to you! I'm sure the scrapbook looks absolutely fantastic, you should definitely post some after shots of what you've done so far!
I do all of my scrapbooking digitally, that way when I have an urge to completely change something (which happens a lot, you're right!) it's relatively simple and inexpensive. I can never make up my mind, you know? :-)
I love your "the end" picture :)
