Confession, I am an addict!!!

So it's official, today I realized that I am totally addicted, no fixing me, no turning back, I am a insanely addicted to scrapbooking.

Some of you might not even know what scrapbooking is(I won't associate with you if you admit this to me!!!) Not know what scrapbooking is, that is IMPOSSIBLE.

My world revolves around it, I live it, drink it, eat it and bathe in it every day. I think about it all the time(while at work, in traffic, etc).

Scrapbooking is basically putting your photos on a page with pretty decorations(known as embellishments) and most importantly, journaling. So it's a photo or photos on a page, decorated nicely with writing. It's a beautiful way to showcase your photos and make them even more meaningful.

I've always loved taking photos, for as long as I can remember.

When I discovered scrapbooking, I knew it was indeed the perfect craft for me. I mean photos and writing, two of my favorite creative outlets. How much better could life get!!!

Then I've got the cutest subject, Hailey. My oh my, do I take lots of photos.

So today, on our way in to school and work, I'm driving behind a car and as I get closer to it, I notice 4 cute whimsical flower stickers on the back of the car.

One was purple, one green, one blue and one yellow. Immediately into my mind pops a page with Hailey and the flowers on it. I suddenly look over at Hailey to see if she's noticed the flowers on the back of the car. I can see she's looking straight ahead but she doesn't say anything so I continue driving.

After about a minute, she looks at me and says: "You like those flowers, don't you?"

I reply, "Yes, as a matter of fact, I do, I especially like the purple one(it's my favorite color).

She smiles at me and says, "You think that's a scrapbook car, don't you?"

I am assuming she was saying that the flowers remind me of scrapbooking.

I started laughing so hard because it was so true. She lives with my obsession, sees it constantly and really understands that I am totally addicted!!!

Oh, how I love this girl. She does understand me!!!!

What a happy day!!!
