Scrapbooking in Freemont California

"Pages Through Time", located in Freemont California, has one of the best scrapbooking ideas I’ve ever seen. They will host your child’s birthday party, or your child’s scout meeting. What a fun way for the kids to be entertained and take home a wonderful project.

Through the years, I’ve had my kids’ parties at a bowling alley, a pizza place, and even the ice skating rink. I’ve never had the opportunity to have a birthday party at a scrapbooking store.

In addition to hosting birthday parties, Pages Through Time also offers Studio Time, where for $5 you can come and stay as long as you like during normal business hours.

There are plenty of photo opportunities in Freemont. Ardenwood Historic Farm is a living-history park depicting farm life from the 1870’s to the 1920’s. Since this is a working farm, check their calendar of events to see what is happening while you are there.

Lake Elizabeth is an eighty three acre lake in central park which is 450 acres. There are playground areas, picnic areas, a golf range, a dog park, fishing, tennis courts and more. This large amount of acreage creates many photo opportunities.

My last suggestion is the Shinn Historical Park and Arboretum. The visitor’s center says "The buildings in this park represent three generations of ranch family life. Built in 1876 by pioneer and nurseryman James Shinn, the redwood Victorian ranch house is a treasury of authentic furnishings and memorabilia. The cottage, one of the oldest frame houses in the Santa Clara Valley, was built in the 1840s. Surrounding these structures are five acres of beautiful trees, rare plants and shrubs that Shinn collected from all over the world."

I’m sure Gina from Pages Through Time can make additional visitor recommendations for your stay in Fremont.
