Little Southern Sister left a comment wondering if theHow Fast They Grow website would be a good way to chronicle her years on college. ie: is it only for kids? In a word...NO! It's not just for kids at all. To prove my point I made some little pages for you as examples. The pictures aren't all great cause I hacked them off of Facebook...but you get the idea!





So, get to work Nelly!

Pincushion

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better over at How Fast They Grow, they've come up with adorable new templates. They're from a company called Pincushion and they are so creative and colorful! They're all renderings of hand embroidered scenes that have been transformed into beautiful scrapbooking pages for you to fill with all of your favorite photos. A truly timeless way to chronicle the lives of your children and your entire family. Here are a few samples:

Clearly, I have a lot to say these days! I've been blogging like a crazy person. I think that's also known as procrastination.

As some of you might have noticed, my new favorite form of heroin (also known as the How Fast They Grow Website), was down for a few weeks. I emailed Cathy the owner desperately begging her to tell me what was wrong. You see, I have three brothers and since our Mom passed away I took it upon myself to chronicle their lives. As each brother has graduated from high school I've made him a scrapbook. This past week my youngest brother graduated. I was a little behind on his book (read: hadn't started it at all) and planned to just scan all the old before digital pictures and make my pages on Cathy's website. Sounds so easy, right? Well, as soon as I got ready to do it, the website was down. Seems that they've been having TOO MUCH BUSINESS. So great for her! But not so great for me.

She was so sweet and emailed me back right away explaining the situation. She was double sweet and sent me a lovely chocolate brown scrapbook to use for Sean's album. I went ahead and did 10 or so "old school" pages with the promise of finishing the book once the website was up and running again.

I just got an email this week...They're BAAAACK! Yay! Even better, they're back with a coupon code.

Here are some of the adorable samples from her email:

Wow!

Check out How Fast They Grow on Celebrity Babies' blog. Looks like I'm not their only "famous" client (he, he!).

This is Life Changing

I know, I know, the post title seems a bit melodramatic and all...but I gottatellya...this is AMAZING! I love scrapbooking but hate the mess and all the cost involved and all the time it takes! Let's be frank...our time is at a premium and while I want to have memories of all the fun things I've done with my kids, it's a little more important to me that I actually make time to do those things in the first place.
Now, there's a website that allows you to publish adorable scrapbook pages, have them printed and mailed to you for only $7.50 PER PAGE. No, you did not read wrong. Can you believe it? They have super cute templates to choose from (including some done by our friends at Boatman Geller) and all you have to do is plug in your pictures and text. It couldn't be easier.
Now until tax day you can enter the code APRIL08 at checkout and get a free page if you've already ordered four.
The website is How Fast They Grow.


Here are some of my completed pages...






Now...get to work!
