Pun'kin's Cooking

This year I am planning to complete several scrapbooking albums that have been in progress for a while now. The first of these projects is my 2011 chronological albums. I've sorted and organized all my completed layouts for 2011, flipped through the remaining photos and memorabilia from that year, and made a list of stories and photos I want to scrap to complete those albums. It's quite a list, so I imagine I'll be working on this goal for a couple of months.

One of the things I love most about scrapbooking is preserving memories so that we can enjoy looking back on them, so I'm excited to remember and record stories from several years ago. I started by recording two stories about Pun'kin's Natashia's cooking during her summer visit that year.
Journaling reads: Pun'kin had planned on her list of things-to-do to cook supper for us during her visit. She did a great job and had fun doing it!

Journaling reads: It all started out so well: Pun'kin and I were trying out the new giant cupcake baking dishes. We layered the pieces together with mousse, and Pun'kin started putting the icing on . . . and it kinda all fell apart!

Have you scrapped any cooking stories/photos lately? Or shared a cooking "disaster" story?

  1. Oh my gosh, I had forgotten about the giant cupcake/mud slide/volcano! If my memory doesn't fail me it tasted good despite its appearance. Those are definitely some interesting facial expressions in the first layout. :) Very cute pages!
    Love,

  2. I always think of you and your amazing way you create your albums. I love that you don't have to be "up to date" and I'm going to channel you this year x

  7. What fun you've captured on these two pages. I couldn't help but notice her ta-da pose on the first and your eekk! on the second page.

  8. I plan to put some serious thought into my scrapbooking during the month of February - to get a sense of what I want to complete and where I want to go with that part of my art.

  10. I always find that things don't have to look good to be delicious, especially cake :)
