Hi M.,
I have the perfect solution for you! =)
Please check out my website at http://www.Story2Tell.com. It is an online book publishing system that is exactly like scrapbooking - only it's all online!
When I used to scrapbook in the traditional way, it was difficult because I did not have a room dedicated to all my items...so I always had to pull everything out and then put it all back again. That takes time and then it takes time to figure out what to create. With a little one in the house, you also need to make sure everything is out of reach.
With the online system, anytime you have a free moment (usually after all the kids are asleep!), you just log in and then start preserving your treasured stories.
Once you are done creating your book, it is sent to be published. You will get a beautiful hardback library bound book that generations to come will be able to read about. There are all sizes to choose from as well as creating your own cards, posters and calendars...all online! The 5x5 size is perfect for grandparents! =)
Here is a link to a demo on how the system works:

You can create your own account from my home page which is absolutely free to do. You can then try out the system. However, to have access to all the Scrapbooking Girls papers and embellishments (thousands to choose from!), the cost is a monthly fee of $19.95 (renewing) or $24.95 (one time). The cost is so much less than if you were to spend on scrapbooking supplies the traditional way.
For more information, please contact me through my website or email me at ____@____.com. I know you will love the system and seeing your first published book will be priceless.
