for me….that is awesome.
i got to spend the weekend at a scrapbook retreat.
it was called Maple Memories.
loved it.
nice house, great work space, good light, comfy beds, internet access.
i highly recommend it.
all these layouts are straight even thought they may look crooked.
it's just hard to photograph them straight in the album.

must give credit where credit is due.
this last page is an exact lift of this.
i love scrap lifting. :)
(i think the color looks off in all these but i don't know why.)
it was so nice to get some time to just be creative for awhile.
and stay up late and sleep in.
i feel refreshed and accomplished.
thanks craig for giving me that time off.
and thank you mom for watching the kids on friday.
they said it was very fun.
now i have to unpack all my stuff.
Jesse - What a beautiful job! I tried to do my oldest sons baby book. Didn’t really turn out very well. One of these days I will start over and try again. I’ll look to you for inspiration! Great job!
Kameron - Ok, you are my scrapbooking muse! I am going to do it! I bought a ton of stuff (a while back) and didn’t know how to get started. If you don’t mind, I am going to “borrow” a few design ideas from you to get the ball rolling. Come on creativity, I know you’re in there!
Aubrey - Those are so so so darling! It’s like everything you touch turns to gold–eye-candy gold.
I wish I liked scrapbooking. My kids will hate me because all their pictures are in a box, and worse, still on the hard drive.
Mamarazzi - wowzer!! impressive!
i am not a scrapper. but i am also not easily impressed…this is real talent!
popped over from SITS!!
CUTE blog!
Lauren - hi! i found your blog through my sister-in-law, hipmomofboys — just wanted to say i love your blog and i think you and your family are way too cute! i love your photos and the way you document everything. so fun. those scrapbook pages are so cool!
Trish - oh my stinkin heck……18 pages!!!
that rocks.
I am so far behind that I’ve given up.
Shanan - Gorgeous photo pages. Wish mine were even close to them. You did an amazing job.
emily - I love your christmas pages, it makes me anxious for winter to come!
Amanda - You do good work. Granted, I have never scrapbooked a day in my life, so I am not the best judge, but I would still say that they looked great.
I just love your kitchen.
God bless-
Amanda
carissa - thanks for the itch… how fun!
and eighteen REALLY GREAT pages… awesome for sure!
i need to MAKE time!
Deb - VERY nice! I don’t scrapbook anymore–I just plan to print out my blog every year. Lol.
midwifeliz - Your pages look amazing. I love scrapbooking too. We “lift” scrapbook ideas too…we call it “scrapjacking”. I confess that no one has ever “scrapjacked” my pages.. I’m no artist. But I love looking at other peoples pages. Fall pages are my favorite ones to do. All your pages are beautiful.
PamperingBeki - Wow, those look great!
And a weekend without kids?! Heaven. I can only dream. 😉
I have some scrapbooking supplies I’ll give you next time we get together. They’ve been sitting in my craft room forever and I just don’t scrapbook. I’m sure you could put them to use.
kara - You are confirming my desire to want to start scrapbooking. I just don’t know how to get started. Any inspiring words of wisdom on where to start?
Rachel - I love it! I need to do a scrap book…I just get a creative block!!!
Your pages are beautiful; glad you had a nice relaxing weekend to spend on yourself!
Staci - Your pages are beautiful! I agree…scrap lifting is the way to go 🙂 I always go with a group of friend in January to Pine Cove (in Texas). That’s the only time of year I get any scrapbooking done 🙁 Glad you had a great weekend!
traci - you did get a lot done. good job. and they are all so adorable. doesn’t it feel good? i need a scrap weekend. heck, i need a scrap week. the house you went to is great. i checked it out – very cute!!
Jill - Kudos to Meg!! Great job!! Your pages look wonderful. I am so behind with my scrapping… I just don’t know where to start. I’m also so behind that I wonder if I should switch gears and go digital now. What are your thoughts? ~Jill 🙂
Crystal - I think they all look fabulous!! 🙂
Peggy Rice - Amazing! How about I just send you all my photos? I see a new business in your future.
Leah Schoonover - Your so great at that! I second Jenn’s idea… I’ll cook for you and you can scrapbook for me! Those scrapbooks are going to be such big blessings to your kids when they are older! Glad you had a fun weekdend.
Amber - I’ve never heard of a scrapbook retreat (probably because I don’t scrapbook) but that is a great idea. How else are you to get them done, really? Looks likes you had a productive weekend getaway. Such cute pages!
lee ann - I’m so glad you got away! What a fun time. And thanks for posting your layouts. I needed more to copy……er I mean look at 🙂 Love the one of Talby with the ribbon on the side.
Jen - So great! I love that last page. I do digital scrapbooking now which is so much easier to get done, but I do admit I miss that tactile of the embellishments.
I have a new project on a new blog and I’d ove your continued input. Check it out at lhttp://www.behindtherefrigeratordoor.blogspot.com/. Thanks!
♥Jen
Jenn Thomas - Megan, can i hire you to do my scrapbook pages? they look great as always. so often I just sit and stare at my stuff not knowing where to begin. maybe we need a block party scrapbook party. glad you had a fun time this weekend.
