Challenge - Week 2 "Life ... Staring Me"

We each have many roles we play in our lives, mother, daughter, sister, friend, worker, taxi driver, employee. What are your roles in life? You could do one page that lists your many different roles, you could then flesh it out with subsequent pages about each or some of those roles. You could do a page about the specific role you treasure, struggle with, never wanted, always looked forward to.

Just remember, these roles, while they may not define us, most definitely help shape our lives.

Happy Scrapping!!!!

Challenge - Week 1 "Why Me?"

Let's start at the beginning - no, I'm not talking about baby pictures. Journal about why you want to do an "All About Me" book / journal / blog. What is the legacy you hope to leave? Very broad topic and hopefully one that you have thought about some already.

Alrighty folks - let's see your stuff. Post ideas - scan in pages - link to your blog post. Let's start leaving a legacy.

Happy Wednesday!

All About Me

We are going to work on leaving a legacy for our decendants. While we need to tell the story of our children's youth and our family's adventures, we also need to document us - we are usually the ones behind the camera, behind the scenes, behind the planning. Put yourself out front with one page a week and at the end of a year you will have an heirloom that your family will treasure.

Join me on this journey and challenge of a page a week. Whether it's traditional scrapbooking, digital scrapbooking or creating a special journal that you attach picutres to. I will try to post pictures here of my pages and would love to share yours as well - e-mail me your creations and share them for others inspiration.

Each Wednesday we will issue a challenge with a topic for the next week - for those of you local you are welcome to join us at my house on Wednesday nights to scrapbook, if you can't make it check in here and keep up. I will post the first topic this Wednesday that way if you want to join us here you can come prepared with the photos and embellishments appropriate for the topic.
