I decided to start fromt he beginning – when I was – but before I had any thoughts I remember so to speak.
This is one of a double page but I don’t know how to add more than one image!
The other page and the details are on my blog

Warning: Long Entry!
I signed up for this new class very excited to be trying something new but I still had the Christmas journal “hanging over my head” from Shimelle’s class in December! I had decided to make it easy (:-)) for myself by making the journal into a whole scrapbook album and using 12×12 pages – a total of 37 plus cover. You can imagine that this was taking me a bit of time. So I decided that I was not “allowed” to start working on this class until I finished my album. And guess what??? Last week I did just that – all 38 pages are now complete and ready to be placed into an album. I have to admit to taking a lot of inspiration from Shimelle’s prompts and even page titles but I am still pleased with it. I made every page a different design, colour scheme etc as I am relatively new at scrapbooking and wanted to play a bit – some pages have of course turned out nicer than others! But I am so pleased with the result and I had so fun trying out different styles and new techniques and I get a real sense of satisfaction from it when I look at it. Thanks Shimelle!
You can see my proud pile of pages here and I have also set up an album at my blog (http://lisahausmann.blogspot.com/).
Of course, after completing this, I was just itching to start at the “When I grow up†prompts that were sitting waiting for me. When I saw that I should write a storybook, I was a little worried and wondered if this was really something I could do, as I am not really as creative as I would like to be. I liked the idea of using photos as the heads of dolls but it would have taken me SO long to do that, so I just cheated and found photos where I could relatively easily cut out the whole figure. This was so much fun for me as I have never done anything like it before. Once I had the writing done, it really came together much quicker than I would have thought even though I seem to spend so long just looking at the product and wondering how to put it all together! I kept the embellishments to a minimum because the book had come in its own chipboard box, but even so, it ended up too thick to fit. But that is OK because now I have a box that I can use for something else in the future and my mini-book will be out in the open.
I am as pleased as punch that I got this done as I am the eternal procrastinator! And I am just tickled pink with the result! Once again, Thanks Shimelle!

Hi Shimelle, doing as requested. I have my cardstock,
patterned paper, ribbons, pens, stickers, stamps, photos
and lots of stories. Now I only have to put them together
and I’ll have an album to treasure.

Scrapdolly here – I made the cover for my book and I am not sure I got it right in that it is not very childlike, but i like it.
I wrote quite a bit of my story already as notes to work from and the story – or a part of it – is on my blog under the mini books section in the categories. I was pleased that I wrote all this down – it was wonderful reminiscing like that. I am now really looking forward to starting to compile my book.

Here is my complete story book. I had totally forgotten about this dream of mine until I started working on the prompts. Briefly the story talks about how I wanted to be a ballerina and dance in Swan lake, but that when I started taking modern dance classes I realsied I wasn’t that good at it. So I stuck to my local music instead. It was fun doing this book!
