Scrapbooking the First Day of School

Sending your kids off to school that first day is special; be sure to capture it for your scrapbooks! Here are some tips that will help:

1. Take a photo in the same place each year.
We do ours by the front door. This allows me to see how the kids have grown over the years.

2. Capture the "everyday" things about school.
My kids take the bus, so I'm sure to take photos at the bus stop, even if I drive them that first day.

3. Make the day festive.
We hang streamers from the kids' door frames while they are sleeping. Of course, the streamers are in their school colors. We've also decorated the mirror in their bathroom to help them start the year on a positive note.

I hope this helps you have a great first day and capture the special moments!
