1. Trains/Thomas and Friends
2. "Cars," the movie
3. Dinosaurs
It got me thinking about all the things in my life that I have been really into. It was fun to look back and remember those times and specific experiences associated with them. Some examples...
1. Dinosaurs: See previous post
2. Nancy Drew books: My dad got me hooked on these when I was really young. We used to read them together before bed.
3. School: not all that exciting, but true
4. Baseball/ARod: My brother, Daniel, and I shared this obsession. We knew every player on every team at one point. I also took him with me to 2 Seattle Mariners games as part of my Senior trip.
4. BYU football: Some of my favorite memories of college involve BYU football. I think I attended every single home game for the four years I attended.
5. Cake decorating: After Christian was born, Jonathon signed me up for Wilton cake decorating classes at our local Michaels. It was such a great time for me to get away for awhile and also learn a new hobby.
My current obsessions include:
3. All things Harry Potter-- I am already excited for movie #7.
2. Blogging-- My blog serves as our family journal and I am looking forward to getting it printed soon.
1. Digital Scrapbooking-- My parents got me Photoshop Elements for Christmas and I have been scrapbooking like crazy. The best part... I have made 10 pages and spent $0. There are so many awesome freebies online. I will eventually have to pay to have them printed, but I love saving time and not cleaning up the mess. Here is one example of a side by side page I did of our Christmas.
It is definitely an interesting exercise to look back at your obsessions. You should try it. I know I would love to read them!

I was a total Nancy Drew addict! My mom got me like 18 books from some used book store for cheap and they were my favorite!
Guess what? I am opening my first Harry Potter book as soon as I finish typing this comment. I know. I know.
I'll have to tell my parents to watch out for fun dinosaur stuff since they live where there is a lot of it.
Great post! I love your digital scrapbook pages. I am really wanting to try it, but photoshop seems so complicated! Was it hard to figure out at first?
super cute scrapbooks
