There are so many "firsts" in life. You know...first baby, first day of school, first hair cut, etc. I thought it would be fun to memorialize our daughter's first few days at college.
I made this mini scrapbook to save photos of the days when I drop her off and help her move into her room.
It only has a few pages. By making the scrapbook "mini," it is much easier to complete. You won't feel overwhelmed by having a huge scrapbook. All you have to do is use a few photos that capture the important moments. I'm looking forward to taking a couple of photos of her dorm room after she is all moved in and the room is all set. I can pretty much guarantee that her room will never be as neat and tidy as it will be that first day. :)
