Scrapbook Obsession!

The next scrapbook is underway... which means that I'll start staying up till the wee hours, that I'll spend unreasonable amounts of time at the local craft store, and that my family will be fending for themselves for food and all other basic necessities.

This scrapbook is for Laura, our exchange student from Germany who left us in June. Hopefully I'll be done in time to give it to her for her 18th birthday in November. If not, it'll be her Christmas present.

Like any good Seattle-ite, Laura and her AFS friends were sufficiently addicted to Starbuck's. In fact, by springtime, they'd all take buses to downtown Seattle from various locations in the Puget Sound in order to sip coffee at a variety of Starbuck's locations -- including the first-ever Starbucks (the top-left photo). Yes, those are coffee beans.

The next picture was taken on our day at Mt. Rainier. I love how the picture tends to blend right into the background... and I had a blast with the leaf ribbon.

Needless to say, Boo is absolutely NO help at all!



And on the off-chance that Laura's checking in, I won't post any more pictures of her scrapbook. Wouldn't want to ruin her surprise!!
