Wow! Summer is flying by faster than I can grasp! As you gear up for school registration and the yearly school shopping excursion, don't forget about your scrapbooks! I know...it's August and you can't think about scrapbooking right now! But you really should! Especially if you have a child who will be graduating this year and want to have the ever so popular "scrapbook to display" at the party!
Do yourself a favor and don't wait until April to try and scrapbook the last 12 years of school photos and memorabilia!

Even if you don't have the time to scrapbook now, stock up on your favorite papers and get your photos organized and have a game plan. Once school starts and the kids are busy doing their homework, you can do your "scrapbook homework" with them! Set goals, schedule the time and have your child's school memories preserved for a lifetime!
