Ultrasounds are an important step in monitoring the development of your new baby.  When you think of it, they can really be considered baby’s first photo.  It’s exciting to see your new little bundle for the first time…. but once baby arrives, ultrasounds are often-times forgotten about and remain under the fridge magnet for several months.  The paper used for ultrasounds is quite thin and many women we’ve talked to have told us that they are unsure of what to do with them. 

 Scrapping on the Spot  has designed an ultrasound scrapbook page that helps preserve baby’s first photo.  Simply slide your photo into the picture pocket on the reverse side, then use the Notes & Observations section to journal the experiences during your ultrasound.  For example:  what you saw baby do, or the comments you exchanged with those who were with you.

 Price:  $10.00 plus postage and handling — available in various dress colors.

Colors

Black Green – Lime Green – Medium Grape Magenta Orange Pink – Light Red Teal Yellow

First Picture with Grandma

Life moved quickly on.  Many of us went to college, many of us married and had children, and for some us, working just seemed to consume every extra minute we had.  It wasn’t until a special occasion or holiday arrived that we actually stopped and enjoyed life’s joys reflecting on the good times we’ve already experienced … remembering our own wedding day vows while attending a wedding celebration, recalling the joy of seeing our children blow out their first birthday candle, or smiling at the thought of all of those great times at the family’s annual picnic.

Life is filled with so many memories.  Can we possibly guess how many memories we’d have by time we turned 30?  Or 40?  Or maybe even 50?  The number could well be into the millions.  So just imagine how many memories you would have at the age of 90.

We really tried to imagine this as we prepared our Event Scrapbook during Angela’s 90th birthday celebration this month.  The room was filled with nearly 60 people consisting of children, grandchildren great grandchildren and close family friends.  What could she be remembering about each of them?  We couldn’t even guess  the number of weddings, baptisms, birthday parties or special occasions that she would have been a major part of.

But one thing was very clear — the love they have for each other was very deep and the tribute they paid to Angela was truly remarkable.  We not only captured a special moment for them through our scrapbooking on that special day, we added a beautiful new memory to our own collection.
