MOPS History Album

Today at MOPS, I spoke on the importance of leaving a legacy for your children and we created this album. If you are a MOPS mom, thank you for inviting me to speak and share some of my heart and passion with you all. I truly hope that I was not overwhelming and that you feel confident to complete this small scrapbook.



















May God richly bless you as you fill in these envelopes!

Also, I ran out of time and did not share a product that I am in love with - the Becky Higgins Project Life. This is a scrapbook kit for those that don't scrapbook or for those that want something a little easier. The kit is all inclusive: album, page protectors, journaling cards, date stickers, a date stamp and additional paper. I will be using this to document a photo a day for the next year but you could use is for a group of photos for each month or special occasions. The cost is $39.95 plus shipping (about $48). Although, they are currently unavailable because they are converting over to an Amazon account but keep checking as they will be available again soon. You can view all the products and sample pages at her site: http://www.beckyhiggins.com/projectlife/#.

Secondly, some of you were asking where I shop in Houston. Locally, you can find products at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Target, JoAnn's, Walmart and some dollar stores. My personal favorite is Hobby Lobby as they are the cheapest, have the largest selection and are a Christian based company. There are also specialty stores in the area. You will need to google their information but this is the list with opinions on what they specialize in:

Archiver's - Katy - chain store with a wide variety with stamps as well - inexpensive classes
Lone Star Scrapbook Co. – The Woodlands - lots of paper
The Scrapbook Village – Missouri City - variety but not very current
By Design Scrapbook Boutique - Friendswood - more expensive but have all the new stuff. The store is very girly (pink and black).
Novel Approach – Friendswood - some scrapbooking but the only stamping store
The Scrapbook Junkie – NASA Rd area - current merchandise

Locally, my favorites are By Design Scrapbook Boutique and Junkie because I know they will have something new. Then Archiver's (closest to me) and The Scrapbook Village (because I used to teach there).

I hope this has helped answer some of your other questions. Have a blessed evening!
