2022 Special Mom Project – Installment 1: Creating a scrapbook/photo album for mom to recap 2021.

2021 was not the best year, but it was not as bad as 2020. Unfortunately, the time we were able to spend with my mom was very limited. Luckily, I took pictures almost every time we went somewhere.

I have decided to make a scrapbook/photo album of the adventures we had last year. In a chronological order, there will be a 2-page scrapbook spread. The left page will have the date of the activity, what we did, and who was with us. The right side will have a scrapbook page with the photos. Any additional photos will be placed in photo protectors and put in the album immediately after the scrapbook page. This is something I know she will like.

I store all of my photos on Shutterfly. Today, using the Shutterfly app, I ordered all of the pictures I took of her last year. I have been ordering my photos from Shutterfly for a long time now. I have boxes and boxes and boxes of the photos I ordered from our 2018 Carnival Vista cruise. The quality has always been great and their service is excellent.

A website I love to use for my scrapbook needs is scrapbook.com I have purchased several 12 x 12 scrapbook albums from them. They never disappoint. Today, I found the PERFECT album to use for this special project.

I am very excited about this special project for my mom. I cannot wait until the photos and the scrapbook come in. I will be making notes of the things we have done while I wait. I hope you will follow along with me as I bring this project to life.
