Monday Giveaway : Studio Calico

my favorite part of memory keeping...chelsea age 15, will age 11, and bradyn age 3...how they all look back over their books and laugh and cry and remember! would not have another hobby ever that can stir up those emotions.

Oh wow- I have so many trips I could finally scrap with that GORGEOUS kit! My favorite thing about memory keeping right now has been starting an album for my soon-to-be born niece or nephew (first baby in our family). Can't wait to meet the new addition to the family!! :)

My favorite thing right this moment is the fact that I will be able to move into a new scrap space this week! It looks almost exactly like I drew it - 4 years ago!
Thanks, Ali!

My favorite thing is the sheer joy my 5 year old daughter gets from looking at photos. It is the biggest motivator I could have for getting things done.

I love to travel, so my favorite part about memory keeping is being able to look back through my travel scrapbooks and re-live the amazing moments and funny mishaps.

We are expecting our first child in December. Although I have always scrapped for the enjoyment, it makes me feel good that I will also be able to pass on our history.

My favorite thing about memory keeping is that you can take a beautiful picture and make it even more beautiful. I love displaying my artwork for others and to cherish the moments in time. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome kit!

My favorite thing is that I can be reminded of how good my little man was...before he started practicing for his terrible twos and getting his eye teeth in at the same time!! LOL!!! :D

ooo, that kit is yummy!
my favorite thing is that i'm taking a break right now. and it's okay to take a break. once my kids get back in school i eagerly look forward to immersing myself again.

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is capturing all of the everyday moments that will be lost in the shuffle if I don't take the time to record them. It is these special everyday moments that make life sweet.

I'm creating art journals with folders, scraps of memorabilia - a program, a ticket...and then using paper, paint and embellishments to portray how I FEEL...some of my best ideas come to me during a cultural event...like dance...I always bring a notebook with me and will write in the dark...

I'm 57 years old and have joined the generation of women who are beginning to experience loss in their lives - loss of parents, either thru death or their loss of memories and have realized how many of their stories and experiences are now lost because they were not recorded in one way or another. I look at my beautiful 6 year old grandaughter and realize how much I want her to know about me and the world I experienced. I try to record things with her as the audience listening to the story telling.

sharing the story

My favorite thing right now is seeing my children look through my work. Seeing how excited they get at photos of themselves from a few years ago and asking about the places we went, the things that we did, reminds me why I do this.

my favorite thing like so many others is watching my kids look back at what I have recorded..no matter how young or old(ages 8 to 2o)...they're eyes light up and they always have such a beautiful smile while flipping thru the pages...a memory I'll keep in my mind forever.

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is the joy it brings me. Looking back on days in my life spent with family, friend or myself makes me happy. I scrap to be happy and enjoy the captured moments.

My pages are a real pick-me-up. Sometimes I get in a little funk and I think I haven't accomplished much or done enough. When I look at my pages, I realize that's SO not true and I feel better.

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is the memories I am scrapping about my husband and I ....almost 2 years into marriage, no kids, still figuring out the world together. We have great times together and I think when we have kids in the future they will appreciate seeing what their parents were like before they came along.

Ali... my favorite thing about memory keeping right now is trying to keep track of my feelings and emotions. I have an 8 month old an I don't want to just tell him he was a good baby, I want to tell him how he made me feel when he did things and my emotions about being a mom. I want to remember the specifics, not just the general events.

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is the joy it brings me. Looking back on days in my life spent with family, friend or myself makes me happy. I scrap to be happy and enjoy the captured moments.
