Rainy days and Mondays always get me down… sound familiar to anyone? Well, now is the time to get away from those rainy days and Monday blues by bringing the photos from last spring out.
I guarantee that you will have so much fun looking at those photos that bring back happy memories of laughter and sunshine that you may almost forget that it looks like your home may float away any second. (At least that’s what I am thinking about my home at this very moment).
For me spring brings an assortment of new challenges. The biggest being 
those new sports seasons starts for my four children. I won’t bore you with the details but to give you an idea, volleyball, tennis, softball, and baseball are involved. With multiple children playing more than one sport at a time because they overlap it can get crazy.
This year just to craze myself a bit more I let three of my kids try out for a local theaters’ production of “Oliver”. Let’s just make it a little crazier and have one of the kids be cast as the lead “Oliver”. Couldn’t be prouder of those kids, but not much down time around my house.
All of these challenges and the rain seem to get me down a bit. So, when I need some cheering up in my personal down time during the day, I pull up my pictures on the computer. I laugh and sometimes cry as I remember why I do it all. I smile as I stop to take a minute to realize the accomplishments 
that have taken place over the past year, and I often wipe a tear or two as the thought comes to me that these days will not last forever.
Our generation is however so fortunate to be able to capture and create keepsakes that will last forever from the special moments that take place in our lives. It is easy to take pictures and store them thanks to digital cameras and computers. What I love even more is that it is easy to create scrapbook pages and wall hangings, cards, baby announcements, thank you notes, calendars, and the list can go on and on. The training to make all of these keepsakes is easily accessible at Digital Scrapbooks and More’s Scrap Shop. Take a look if you haven’t already done so and see all of the great ideas that the Digital Scrapbooks and More’s Website offers. There are so many fantastic articles about digital scrapbooking. You can learn the very 
basics or get really creative advice from these scrapbooking experts.
Today, I have decided to put together a sports themed page for my kids. I know they will want to frame this and hang it up in their room or put it in their own special scrapbook.
Check out what I have done and then go and save some special memories of your own. Wow, now it’s snowing outside, maybe I had better pull up the sledding photos!!
Have a fabulous spring, no matter what the weather brings.
