Hi Dotsie,
Loved your post. Sounds all too familiar.
I do have a suggestion for you. Your lucky to have everything in one place. I would just do one or two pages if your going to see her again. Then she will know you are working on the book.
I think scrapbooking is really overwhelming
with all the stuff they have out now to use.
Good luck with yours.
Thanks,
Maggie
