Getting Crafty

     Since I've decided to do the pregnancy chalkboard weekly tracker pictures, I wanted to have a place to put them for whenever Baby Boom grows up and, of course, for me. My dilemma being I have never successfully done a scrapbook and finished it. So trip to Michael's! I found a simple book that had already colored and decorated pages, but some were still blank...Bluh. I figured I would find someway to remedy that. I picked up a few pregnant scrapbook decorations as well. ( Go when they have sales! Otherwise it gets so expensive and still was for me with 40% off. Online coupons peeps) 

     Pinterest comes in next. I recently found a blog where she watercolored a journal for one of her friends' daughter. It looked awesome! Here's the blog and my inspiration - http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=367219.0#axzz2fwe3ZMgY 

      So mine isn't anywhere near as cool or awesome as hers, but I had fun and the pages aren't boring white anymore. Biggest complaint was waiting for it to dry - time consuming. Here's some more  of my favorite pictures. My other ones were too bad to post haha.

  

        It gave it a rustic, old feel. Like I said, hers was way better, but I'm still pleased with the outcome and eventually it'll be filled with my pregnancy experiences and pictures as I grow. The contents are more important than the look, though I did make it look better
