Scrapbooking

I had a day off this week, and intended to start sorting out our cellar - since we moved in, it has become a little like Monica's mess room in Friends. 

My friend had bought me a lovely scrapbook for my birthday, so I thought I'd make my first scrapbook. I keep tickets and mementoes from holidays and activities so there is finally a real use for them! 

I kept so much during uni that I couldn't face starting there so I began with 2008, the year after I finished university. I've done up to 2012 and hopefully can fit some of 2013 in there. 

It took an surprising amount of time to sort this all and stick in. The cellar looks marginally better. 

Now for the next scrapbook...
