Alphabet Scrapbook

A project more than 2 years in the making is finished. A few years back, I participated in an alphabet gift exchange online. All persons involved created a wish list of small items from A-Z and sent (and received) a minimum of 6 wish list items as a gift to their secret online buddy. This event inspired my thematic alphabet family album.

After having Addisyn, I had a friend share with me a Christian scrapbooking idea book. In truth, I thought it was hokey and strange. I am glad, however, it intersected my path. The author created a prayer journal as she scrapbooked, which inspired me to read and select scripture that spoke to what or who I was scrapbooking and pray specifically as I crafted.

See may favourite pages below. You'll notice I love to pray psalms.
