The link to this layout was passed around a local scrapping group that I belong to and we were commenting on how some people will scrap anything LOL. I'm not sure I could've done it myself, because that stuff isn't acid free or archival safe ;) (yeah yeah...I know she washed it off before inserting it in the layout, but still...).

I missed that part, thanks Britta. I was really only kidding about the acid-free/archival thing. If you could see all the metal and "contraband" that I include in my layouts, you'd know how sarcastic I was being ;) LOL.

well I agree with you-I mean one thing is metal and "contraband" (which I am all for) and the other is, well, um, doody!LOL
I think some people like the attention scrapping/describing/talking about bodily functions gives them. Not my bag baby, but whatever floats your boat (or whatever floats in your toilet I guess):p If she had just put the x-ray or whatever, her layout would not have gotten the excitement level it has. I wonder at what point she said,
"Oh, I need to scrap that my kid pooped out a penny!" LOL:rolleyes: ;)

I think this scrapper has way too much time on her hands! It's all I can do to get the major events scrapped--if I scrapped every emergency room visit, I'd have to devote a whole room in my house to the albums!
Yep, that page is definately one you frame and hang up at the wedding reception...you know, the boards you put up...couple as babies...then and now. The in-laws will be so proud of their DD...the whole family will just shake their heads and say, "she got a real 'crappy' deal!"
I just showed another one of my scrapping friends. She's a mom. When my dh gets back, I'm showing him too. He'll probably fall over...laughing or something.
All I have to say is I'm pretty darn glad that my mom isn't into scrapping and wasn't at the point in my life. I don't think I swallowed a penny, but I did swallow diet pills....lots and lots of them. Had to have my stomach pumped and everything.
Now I think including the story in the scrapbook was ok. I know I would have done it! I mean this was a scary moment for them with a little baby..........however, I would have stopped BEFORE the diaper picture!
I agree with the above that scrapping the penny along with the story would be clever, whereas the pic of the blown-out diaper was just not my style at all. We all know that "doody" happens with a baby in the house, but that doesn't mean I want reminders of it in living colour. For me, scrapping a dirty diaper photo is akin to scrapping pix of the insects that infest your home. 'roaches happen too, but not in my scrapbook layouts!
That's just my humble opinion and I'm glad the mother of the penny-swallowing child is happy with her well-designed layout.
I couldn't help but laugh. This poor mother must have been so relieved that there was to be no surgery after all. I don't know how far I would have gone with but i say - to each his own! It didn't bother me one way or the other and I'm SURE it WILL bring a laugh or two when he gets older - maybe she could dress him up as a Piggy Band for his first Halloween! Now THAT would be fun!!!!
Well it really is a kind of funny layout. I can relate, I have told my DH if we had picture phones he would probably get pictures of dirty diapers all day. I mean I feel like all I do is deal in SH*t, I scoop up after the two dogs, that is a lot of sh*t in it's self, then I change the 16 months old diaper and there are days, and the 4 year old is always doing the "mom come wipe my butt".
It may have been a nicer picture is she had turned it into a black and white and left the penny copper. And I am not sure I would have wanted that penny bad enough to retrieve it and wash it!
Now this brings me to wondering if I should have photographed my son's bright pink crayon diaper last week? It scared the hmmmm out of me at first. I take off his diaper one morning and there is this perfect bright pink blop, and I am like what the heck did I feed him that was that color. Then I remember the day before when I heard my sister say oops he is eating the crayons, relief.
Some People Will Scrap Everything!
Love It!
