It's
amazing how quickly time passes. I look into the faces of my children
and can't believe how old they are getting. They are growing up
right before my eyes, and I just want to say "Stop! Slow down!
Dont' be in such a hurry to grow up!" Unfortunately, I have
no control over Father Time. Before I know it my children will be
leaving my home and off on an advernture of their own. |
|
I don't have to remember every little detail - I've frozen that memory for the rest of time. It gives me great pride to walk into a room and find my children looking at their scrapbooks. I love to see the joy on their faces as they relive the memories as I do. The day I found scrapbooking was a wonderful blessing it was for me, my family, and generations to come. I hope scrapbooking is a blessing for you and your family too! Big things are coming for DSP this year. Behind the scenes we are working furiously on a number of projects that I'm sure will WOW you! We can wait to let the mystery unfold before your eyes. Watch the site and future newsletters for more details.
Happy Scrapping!
