It would be worth the drive....nobody in my family or friends scrapbook and they think I am crazy for doing it...but they all love when I give them finished books for gifts.....
My mom is kinda getting into it...but usually she picks out the pictures and I do all the rest....
I have made books for both of my sisters kids(my 1 niece stood up to my wedding so I made all the kids one for that-my niece and dh's niece and nephew)....when my sister was preggo I made a book for the baby....i have added her baptism pics and will add the 1st birthday pics now that she had her birthday...plus made one for my dh's nephew for his baptism....and prescrapped a book for my cousin, all done except for the pics that she needs to add and any journaling about the event- i included pages for first haircut, first tooth, first bath, first birthday and a place for her to add the date and journaling....she loved it.
