This was a great weekend - for lots of reasons - but my favorite one? The rainy weather held off just long enough that we were able to take our engagement photos! And I mean just long enough a huge thunder and lightning storm broke out less than a half hour after we got back to the apartment!
The photo shoot was so much fun. Brooke (from My Boysterous Life - who I met for realsies at an awesome scrapbook weekend) is starting her own photography business. Of course, AJ and I thought she would be the perfect person to take our engagement photographs, and we were totally right! You can check out some of her fabulous photography at BEG Photography. I can't wait to see our photos, and definitely make a scrapbook page (or two or three or seven!)
I also decided to extend National Scrapbook Day to National Scrapbook Weekend. On Saturday, I ended up cleaning more than I anticipated, but I did take a few minutes to look through all of my books that I have here in Chicago (the rest of in New York!). I really don't do that enough. On Sunday, after we took the photos, while it was raining like crazy and AJ was watching various sports, I did lots of scrapping!
I was really behind (I really hate saying that because it feels overwhelming, but I scrap chronologically, so I do get behind!) Either way, this is a layout about fireworks from last summer.
Do you scrap chronologically (and are you always behind like me), or do you follow a different method? I like going in "order" but I really hate that "oh no, I'm getting too far behind" feeling!
I hope you are having a great Monday! See you tomorrow :)

can't wait to see your engagement photos. It's all coming together, and before you know it Wedding day!!
yay, so happy you got your engagement photos in! (and I hope we get to see some of them at some point :) Those fireworks photos are beautiful! I scrap chronological too!
I'm so happy you guys got your engagement photo shoot done! Can't wait to see them!!
Sounds like a fun and productive weekend! Your fireworks photos are great and I love the idea of the window pane page. That paper has such a cute mod retro vibe!! I also scrap chronologically and I'm always behind (currently 1 year behind!--but I'm stopping to do my daughter's high school album). I go in phases, sometimes I'll scrap like crazy and make a lot of progress and sometimes I won't scrap for weeks. It's always there waiting for me!!
Glad that the rain held off, looking forward to seeing your engagement photos.
Great layout. I always do 2 page spread and the one side usually only has one photo on it, then many on the other page.
I am so behind I can never catch up, so I just have to embrace it, lol.
