My Life In Blog Years

D and I are excited to announce that we will be bringing a new baby into the house – and I don’t mean the canine variety. Our small one is due in February and I have been bursting at the seams waiting to tell everyone.

I\u2019m currently 11 weeks along and I am eagerly waiting to\nenter into the second trimester \u2013 I read that fatigue slowly dissipates and my\nappetite should start behaving properly. \nD has been so sweet and caring to me during these past few weeks\n(just like he always is) but I can tell that he is excited to be entering into\nthis new phase of life with me. We are currently discussing different baby name options and\nhaving fun playing the \u2018veto\u2019 card on each other (that's a reference to a scene in an episode of 'Friends' for those of you who\ndidn't pick up on it).

Lots of change\nis in the works, but I am excited and I look forward to these next few months!

I’m currently 11 weeks along and I am eagerly waiting to enter into the second trimester – I read that fatigue slowly dissipates and my appetite should start behaving properly. D has been so sweet and caring to me during these past few weeks (just like he always is) but I can tell that he is excited to be entering into this new phase of life with me. We are currently discussing different baby name options and having fun playing the ‘veto’ card on each other (that's a reference to a scene in an episode of 'Friends' for those of you who didn't pick up on it).

Lots of change is in the works, but I am excited and I look forward to these next few months!

When it comes to scrapbooking and photo journaling, do you prefer old school scrapbooks or digital ones? Scrapbooking was always a fun project to do when I was younger, and I will admit to hosting scrapbooking parties with friends after school. I still treasure those thick ruffled books containing very old photos of my life, and often pull them out for a good laugh. If you were to ask me if I still do any type of scrapbooking I would say sure, but it’s all digital. There are so many wonderful things about making a digital photo book and weather you use software or go through an online vendor; there are numerous resources online to help you out in this endeavor.

Here are a few of my favorite links to help you get started.

The Shabby Shoppe is my favorite digital scrapbooking site featuring high quality, downloadable products for both digi and paper scrappers! They have a wonderful blog with lots of helpful tutorials using different versions of Photoshop.

Shabby Miss Jenn is another great digital scrapbooking site. Her papers and elements are adorable and she also has wonderful selection of tutorials and projects to teach.

The Sweet Shoppe is a great site with a talented staff of digital scrapbook designers who bring you the best digital scrapbook kits, elements, templates, fonts, alphabets, and freebies.

If you like the idea of going through an online vendor then Adorama, Shutterfly, Tinyprints, and Snapfish are all great sites to go through.

Need some DIY inspiration? Head on over to A Beautiful Mess and look at their Book Making Index. They have blog posts ranging from scrapbooking, photo art journaling, instant photo journals and mini albums.

If you are still convinced that old school is the way to go, then Project Life might be for you. It’s a modern way of memory-keeping made simple.

Head on over the Newfandhound to see what links she as in store for you today!
