Sarah - I don't think that's OTT at all.... but, remember, what you do for one, you have to do for all... so, if you have several kids, you will be looking at a whole lotta scrapbooking, LOL. I am sure you will be able to manage it tho as you do such an amazing job with your pages!! Yay for your Mum getting you some more scrapping stuff for Chrissy too!

Pee - don't get upset. I do the same... I look at pages in the mags and pages that more "artistic" people do (including my little sister who has a flair for that sort of thing) and I think that mine look pretty crappy. BUT I then try to remember why I strarted scrapbooking - it's to show Gabby how much I love and adore her and to tell a story so that she can look back at her childhood and know how much we cared. I try to see it as more of a personal thing between her and I and not compare my work to others. Does that make sense? Definitely use other people's work for ideas (and for admiration) but don't you dare put yourself down! All you can do is improve on the things you want to improve on and let the pages that you don't necessarily jump up and down about become part of your "scrapping story". Ok,.... going to shut up now, LOL.

Sounds like quite a few of us scored some more stuff for Chrissy and have been inspired to get back into it. MAN, I have got to clear off my dining table and get going!
