Star Wars Nuts would aptly describe the men in my life! My husband, son, and younger brother all go crazy for the Star Wars movies and love to watch them. So I guess it wasn't much of a surprise that for my son Rhett's 5th birthday he wanted a Star Wars party. I found the plates, napkins, goody bags, banner, and even gift bag for the occasion (I think the elementary teacher in me craves themes to work around too). My husband even MADE the Darth Vader cake - no kidding. I also lucked up and found some hover discs at the dollar store so party favors didn't break the bank. The guests were all family members - his cousins and sister - and they had a great time! To scrapbook this memory I thought about the colors but decided that the pictures captured exactly what I wanted to remember - this was a Star Wars party by request of my little boy. So I decided to play with using a picture as the backgound and found that the picture of al the little goodies on the table made a great background for other pictures that bring the party to life. I turned the transparency feature on the photo editing software up to about 70% or so and the result is a backgound picture where you can see all the makings of a great Star Wars party. Add some lively kids in play shots and the layout celebrating the memory of this party is complete. Looking at this picture reminds me how blessed I am to have my family and much I enjoy my hobby. So, that leads me to want to ask:
What type of memories do your pictures help preserve (like what events are most popular)? What is it about your family that you want to remember forever?

Your post on scrapbooking is very creative. I always wanted to do scrapbooking, but can never find the time to get a theme together or organized in getting started. I have continued to buy books that allows me to put my daughters names on it with stencils. I also have words that make comments that can be placed on the pictures. I guess I just don't know where to begin. I think I am going to start looking on websites to get an idea. Your Star Wars party was enlightening. My little one's birthday is Aug. 28th, and I want to do something creative instead of the same ole thing. She really likes Bratz. SO, I guess I can begin there to create and exciting 7th birthday. Let me know if you have any suggestions or website information that I can browse.
Thanks for writing this.
