DIY projects, thrifty home decor and easy crafts
This project post is a part of a paid marketing campaign with Snap. Although this post is sponsored the project idea and all opinions expressed are my own. I love scrapbooking and paper supplies.

I have been a scrapbooker and family memory keeper for many years. My blog started out as a way to journal many of our family struggles and triumphs as we walked the path through adoption.

I’m going scrapbooking this weekend so I wanted to leave you with one of my favorites: a bedtime layout. Nothing fancy, just sweet pictures and fun journaling. My son Joshua, who is now 20, used to love to make a bed in every corner of the house. When he went from crib to a big boy bed I would awake in… Read More
