Hey everyone! I wanted to let you know that I've shared a few blog posts on the Scrapbook & Cards Today blog this week, in case you want to check them out. I'm talking about how I organize my girl's school stuff, set up their school albums, and giving you a peek into what a school year looks like within those albums. Some of you long-time blog readers of mine might recognize a lot of this, as I've blogged about my school albums several times over the year. But these are new posts that I wrote, and they do include a bit of new info along the way.
On Monday's post, seen HERE, I shared how I organize all of the school "stuff" that we collect during a typical school year. I also mentioned some of the supplies I use for my albums, such as the albums themselves and the different types and sizes of page protectors that you'll find within those albums.
And on today's post, seen HERE, I am walking you through a single school year, as seen in one of Alyssa's albums. I find great joy in gathering up all of the school "stuff" at the end of each year, sorting it out, slipping things into the albums, and then tossing everything else (there are exceptions, and things that do get kept and stored elsewhere). It always feels very freeing!
And since my girls go back to school next Thursday (can i get an "eeekkkk" and a "whoohoo" all at the same time?!?!), I guess it's about time I get last years stuff all organized in the albums, before the new school years stuff starts piling in ;)
What an awesome project! I need to sit down and do something like this! I am pretty ruthless about recycling a lot of papers that come home, but I have never actually gotten around to doing something with the ones I do keep. :)
