Brook shares great tips and inspiration for a School Album.<\/h2>\n

You might know the feeling . . . receiving your child’s yearbook (the one you paid a small fortune for) and anxiously flipping through it to find pictures of your precious kiddo. But aside from a few blurry appearances, and one of the top of his\/her head in a group photo, the only good one you can find is the tiny 1×2 inch school portrait (the one you already bought for a small fortune). It’s disappointing, for sure. You might even be thinking you could do a better job. But wait . . . don’t sign up for the yearbook committee! You can make an your very own album of school-related memories for your child that will be a lasting treasure.<\/p>\n

Here are a few reasons why you might want to think about making a school album:<\/h6>\n
    \n
  1. You homeschool.<\/li>\n
  2. The school-issued yearbook honestly doesn’t represent your child’s year in school and you don’t plan on purchasing one this year.<\/li>\n
  3. You want to supplement the school yearbook by\u00a0having all of your child’s extracurricular and personal school-related memories in a book of its own.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    No matter what your reason, think about it: a school album they can flip through and EVERY<\/strong> page is about them & their school year. *sigh* I’m getting scrapbooking-induced warm fuzzy feelings. Are you feelin’ it? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

    My son started his first year of kindergarten last year, and as a homeschooler, I was a little sad he wouldn’t be getting a traditional yearbook. So I set out to make him one, and although I haven’t printed it yet (hey, no one’s perfect), I am thrilled with it. Here are a few pages from his 2012-2013 album:<\/p>\n
