Pam - do you remember this? You and James were the first family to see our little Rachel! When you blogged that you love scrapbooking I thought I've got to get that picture! It's on the 2nd page of the scrapbook I'm making that I'm calling "The Book of Rachel." :)
I must admit that I have fallen in love with scrapbooking - my first was the album we made for Aunt Gail's 80th Birthday. We listened while she was looking at it and made notes, so when I got home I recreated it for us with corrections and added comments Aunt Gail had made. We're planning to bring it with us to the reunion in July.
So this "Book of Rachel" is my third scrapbook. I've got old photos out of albums from my family that I want to put together. Funny, the Hartmans arrived in the colonies in 1749. My family (the maternal side, di Carlucci) arrived in 1900-01-02. I have my great grandfather's naturalization papers and he completed them probably 40 years after he arrived and where he filled in the date he arrived in this country - that's what he put "1900-01-02".
So, what can we do to get everybody talking? I've been meaning to tell you Meredith that ever since we came to Nevada for the first reunion, I've made your red potato/ranch dressing potato salad - everybody loves it. My friends call and now they make "Meredith's Potato Salad." You're kinda famous on the east coast. :)
It's like spring here - I drove home with the windows open, the hostas are really coming up, and the cherry tree in the front yard is swelling into buds - it usually flowers just in time for Dave's birthday (by the way - everybody - he'll be double nickels on April 23rd - don't tell him I told you).
I think I'll send the email invite to everyone again - just in case you've all lost your directions to add to your blog!
What are everybody's plans for the weekend? I think I'm going to try and talk Dave into taking a drive up to a huge craft place in Blue Ball, PA - I need scrapbooking goodies!!!!!!!

How about sharing that recipe for Meredith's Potato Salad?
I also LOVE to scrapbook - both physically and digitally. I have a scrapbook for each of the girls, one for our wedding and one for all our family adventures.
I'm also trying to work in scrapbook pages for my genealogy book too - like journal pages for interesting characters and pictures that I have. That way it's more like a story instead of just pedigree charts.
