A Good Life +10

 We spent last Saturday at the beach. 
I love the beach more than most things in the whole world,
but last Saturday was National Scrapbook Day.

I admit I was sad that I couldn't participate in the oodles of online challenges
and giveaways that went on that day.
{But we did have an excellent time playing in the sand and surf!}

The nice folks over at Scrapbook.com offered a week-long challenge
in addition to their many NSBD challenges.

The week-long challenge was to create a mini album "time machine" -
a book containing 10 or more things you'd like to remember 10 years from now.

I made a paper bag album that is basically a snapshot of our lives right now.
Included are us, our kids, our pets, our current home & cars,
and a whole slew of favorites -
foods/movies/trends/music/hobbies/games/books
as well as current cost of
bread, milk, gas, & stamps.

It was tons of fun to make, thanks for taking a peek!
