An admission (and some layouts)

Some of you know that we also have a family blog that Adam keeps updated, and after reading his last couple posts I have to admit that he is a much better storyteller than I am. I really don't have a lot of patience for reliving past details - details being the operative word. I am about as un-detail-oriented as one can get. How bizarre that this is true about me, and I'm a scrapbooker! I start the Type+Writer class at Jessica Sprague today and I'm hoping to learn some good tips for more colorful, meaningful journaling.

Here are a few miscellaneous layouts from the last week or so - credits under each.
