My Hero

So I've been working on my grandfather's scrapbook since Wednesday. I thought I was almost finished. However, I was wrongly mistaken. I've spent the last hour or so, attempting to pull articles out of a photoalbum. Mind you that these articles ARE NOT glued in, it's one of those sticky albums that everyone thought was SO wonderful a few years ago, myself included becuase i put all of grandpa's loose articles in here or... 7 or 8 years ago. I'm having to be VERY careful when pulling them out, because they are just crumbling beneath my touch. Yes these are very old articles, most from the 1930's, but they are important to my grandfather.

I've plan to use my little heatless laminater on the articles. I want people to be able to take the articles out of the scrapbook. Plus, these articles are already falling apart. If I want my kids and their kids to be able to cherish this album as I do, as well as see my grandfather as a hero, I need to preserve these clippings. . .

I was hoping to get the scrapbook done sometime this weekend or atleast before next Friday (National Scrapbook Day) so that I can get started on another scrapbook. Plus my grandma has invested ALOT into getting the scrapbook done for grandpa I just want to complete it. Hopefully I can. I work tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday. That gives me Sunday, Monday and Thursday to get it completed.

Personally this is the best scrapbook that I've done so far. I've found my nitch so to speak. I done the scrapbook on black pages and neutral tone paper. This makes the pictures look so beuatiful in all their glory.

Hoepfully it will help people see how special he is. After all he is my hero.
