Baby's first year of life is packed with wonder. From smiles to crawling, the excitement is nearly constant. While you may be filling in the blanks of a baby book, wouldn't it be nice to have a unique account of your child's first year?

 When Karen Webster of Provo, Utah, was invited to a National Scrapbook Day workshop, she wasn't sure what to expect. The mother of a 6-month-old, Webster was intrigued by organizing piles of photographs she had accumulated since the baby's birth. "More than anything, I just wanted to get out of the house," she says.

Webster soon developed an obsession with scrapbooking, continuing to schedule time twice a month to work on her book. By the time her baby celebrated his first birthday, Webster had a heartfelt collection of photos, poems and journal entries attractively arranged in a scrapbook. As a bonus, the time she spent creating the book gave her a chance to relax and a feeling of self-accomplishment.

According to Marilyn Conner, owner of Southern Splash Scrapbook Supply, in Weslaco, Texas, finding supplies is as easy as logging onto the Internet or taking a drive to Wal-Mart. Once you're there, you'll want to find an album, paper, pens and stickers.
