I think my favorite thing to look back on is his letters from boot camp. I am on my 3rd album for 6 years, so I am no help on making a small album LOL! I am hoping it is something he will show his wife and kids someday.

Hi: I am new to this site. I am however a fan of scrapbooking. I am starting a small scrapbook so I can keep it out on display and it won't take up a lot of space. It also makes it manageable for me to start and complete. Any suggestions as to what you have kept and wish you'd kept for the book? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi everyone, I love scrapbooking and have a lot of military things. Like many of you, finding the time to do it is difficult. This group inspires me to find a little time each day.

I haven't had much time to scrapbook lately, but I have been paper crafting getting ready for my twin boys' graduation. I can't believe how quickly this year went by. Just a few more weeks til my Future Sailor leaves for BC. You can be sure I'll be scrapbooking more after he goes to keep myself busy.
They did PT at my son's DEP meeting today and the Chief was so nice and said that next month they will take a group photo for me for my scrapbook.

I saw someone post on FB yesterday that Michaels has a bunch of military stickers and embellishments on clearance. I think they were from K&Co. So...get 'em while you can.
