I was born in D.C.- spent my elementary years in Massachusetts- and have lived in Maryland since middle school- I am in my early 40’s and I love to spend time with my family and to scrapbook- so we can have some way of capturing the times we have spent with each other and the fun things we have done- the children love to look at all the books I have put together since I started scrapbooking in 1995. I have a baby book, birthday book and school book for each child. I have a wedding book and many “family books” of year after year of all the fun this family has had and the people that have touched our lives.
Hi Lisa:
I love scrapbooking but have only successfully made one scrapbook when my parents visited us. I love your idea of having a baby book, birthday book and school book for each child. So that will be my goal for 2013 since 2012 is already taken. You really inspire me.

I live in Texas. I am 67 years old. My free time is limited since my daughter and 3 grandchildren moved in with us last year. After homework and dinner, I enjoy playing games with the kids or sitting on the screen porch with everyone talking about all kinds of things or watching them play on the trampoline. In the quiet moments when the kids are gone or in bed, I enjoy watching TV or a movie with my husband, and try to read in bed for a while each night. Our lives have been transformed in so many ways! Praise the Lord for all of the things that have fallen in place to make it possible for us to help them start a new life here, and for providing guidance to get us through the difficult moments.

We go to the park and read His Word and then talk – and listen to each other. He makes a perfect date for He wants to be with me …..and He really cares about me.

I live in Midwest Iowa by myself as a widow—age 66—–this is my 2nd time through the study—ordered more books to share with others and praying that they are learning how special they are to the Savior.
