Scrapbooking the last 8 decades

We're headed out of town this week to visit family on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and in Atlanta.  We'll be enjoying Thanksgiving on the Gulf Coast with my family, and then driving to Atlanta to celebrate my mother-in-law's 80th birthday.

We were trying to figure out a way to highlight things that have happened in the past 8 decades to share with my mother-in-law.  Initially, I wanted to do some kind of coffee table book, but we were running short on time (research, figure the layout, order/delivery) so I had to do it the old fashion way....scrapbooking. Although, to be honest, I'm not sure this way was much faster because it took all week, but we did avoid waiting on the delivery piece.

I used to scrapbook when the kids were younger....here's what some of that looked like.

When they got a little older and life got a little busier, it just seemed easier to pull together a digital book of our annual happenings.

And, this is how the scrapbook for my mother-in-law turned out.

 

 

And, of course, pictures through the years.

 

This was an interesting project.  

ALOT has happened in the last 80 years.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MILLIE!
