Hello again! More scrapping for you today!
A few years ago, we took our kids to the zoo for the first time in over a decade. First time for the youngest.

I think we got a photo of every single animal we saw. It's not a huge zoo, but it does take most of the day to see it all... And that doesn't include all the other photos we took. For some reason that utterly escapes me, lol, a few months later, I printed a STACK of photos of this day. And I printed three sets so each child gets it in their book. That is a dumb lot of photos for one day...! Sooo these photos have all sat in their little shoeboxes of photos, making me feel overwhelmed and uninterested in scrapping them. ha.
Until last week when I decided it was time to put them to paper for at least one of my kiddos! I had selected the DP within a year of printing the photos, and then used pretty much all the zoo animals my mom and I have.
(We won't talk about how many days it took me to put these NINE pages together. ahem. But we will talk about not printing that many photos of a single event that isn't Christmas, ever, ever again. And we'll question printing that many for Christmas too!)

I always feel guilty if I don't use all the photos I print out...even though I know I print out too many :) I've gotten to where I can throw away landscape photos that I don't end up using, but for pictures of my kid, I save those and give them to my mom! And now that you have the pages done for one kid, maybe it'll be easy enough to duplicate them for the others??
