It’s Happened…

Just as I predicted (and planned for) the Jensen crew is well on their way to becoming scrapbookers!  We spent the afternoon (just about 2 hours) working on their brand new albums.  Of course being the teacher, I didn’t get a chance to work on my own, but figure these early pages are laying a foundation for future independence and creativity.  Trevor added more journaling than I’d expected, Emily (who’s done this before) wowed me with her embellishments, Eric had a vision for his pages that stretched the imagination and Ryan was surprisingly independent and opinionated~he knew what he wanted and definitely did things his own way! I figure that this project not only forces us to spend quality time together (in close proximity), but involves sharing, writing, (for Ryan copying letters) and a bit of math (trying to make the pictures “fit”.  Okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but regardless, they all enjoyed it and it was organized.  I bet it will be one of the highlights of our 2008 summer!
