Inspiration

Recently I have been busy cleaning and organizing the house to make it presentable before next weekend.

I haven't made much progress in scrapbooking, but I read a lot of idea books every night. Inspirations, inspirations, books are all about inspiration. I got so many ideas from the books.

First, I was inspired by a family tree layout. The common family tree starts with a couple and branch down with their children, grand children, great grand children... and so on. I'm thinking of creating an upside down family tree which will start with Sophia and root up with me and hubby, grand parents, great grandparents. With an upside tree, I may be able to tell where her eyes, nose, face from. Isn't that neat? Now I need to find pictures of all of our grand parents.

Second, I was inspired by a blog, named PJs are clothes. I'm planing to take pictures of Sophia every morning before she wakes up, sure she's in her PJs. I will find out what her favorite sleeping position is.

Third, after reading the review of Creating Keepsake's All About Me album. I want to make one, too. So that Sophia will know what kind of person her mom is, this is going to be very meaningful. But I need to start to write journal and collect old pictures first.

Last night Sophia went to bed very early after a busy day of play. So I got a little bit of my own time and decided to put together last year's Halloween page with my new fall paper. But I wasn't able to find any picture printed well. A bunch of pictures that were taken when Sophia got her first sofa seat caught my eyes. I put them together with the beautiful Basic Grey paper. They look perfectly match and the paper is called "Sophie" collection. When I saw the paper on sale, I told myself: I have to have them for Sophia. Finally I found some pictures to use them. I will show the page when it's done.
