Monday Giveaway : Studio Calico

My favorite thing about memory keeping is showing my friends my albums and hearing them say, "You make everything look so exciting!"

Hello Ali,
This is my first comment on your blog. Why not start out with a chance to win something so fun. My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is the energy it gives me. I get so excited thinking about all the wonderful things that can be created. I hope to have more time to capture the little moments in life. Thanks for letting me enter!
Happy Day!

wow! when ali says giveaway everyone hears!
My favorite thing (and I was just thinking about this last night) is knowing that the pages I create will help me to relive and remember the memories I'm capturing on them. I love that idea and I just can't stop thinking about it!
lovely kit!

Love this kit! My favorite thing has to be when my daughter who is 7 looks through the scrapbooks - she loves reading everything and looking at all of the memories that we have shared - especially stuff she doesn't remember!

hey ali, thanks for the link to that TED talk. that was pretty cool. love the stuff in this kit. totally new. yippee!

Right now I am trying my hand at a little hybrid scrapbooking. I have been making photo collages using digital templates, printing them out and putting them on a traditional scrapbook page. It does save time cutting photos!

It took us five years to conceive our first son which made every moment so precious to me. I wanted to save those stories of him growing to try and slow time down a bit. I can go back and "remember when."

I love that my kids 12,10,7 are now old enough and interested in memory keeping with me.

I love being able to relive all of my memories,especially with my boys. They are growing up too fast! This enables me to remember the details of when they were little!

Right now I am loving making minibooks of my kids life. Since I am so far behind 19 years on 1 and 15 on the other. So I like just going though the pictures and doing an event that speaks to me.

Hi Ali,
I love that when I look back at my scrapbook next week, next month & next year.....it will bring back great memories of my two year old (what he said, what he did, his favorite things).

My 3rd child...says the funniest things...that's my favorite thing right now...documenting those things he says...so I don't forget!

My favorite thing about memory keeping is being able to capture the moments my husband and I are sharing with my two small children (Ethan (4) Nora (19 mo)) now so that they can remember later... places we go every week and enjoy like going to the library, shopping at Target, playing with trains at the mall, and visits to the park. Even now Ethan really enjoys paging through the layouts and reminiscing about what we've already done and looks forward to doing more fun things with mom and dad (and his baby sister).

My favorite thing right now is that my 19 year old son has begun to really look through my books and to email my pictures!

Hey Ali,
i have to say my fav part about memory keeping is going back and realping the rewards of it. By that I mean getting to read all the little details i wanted to remember about that person or thing on that particular page. My little one is only 20 mths old but I have so much documented about her already. I know that she'll love to look at it someday just as I do now.

that i can do it any way i want. it can be with just a picture, a word, a story a phrase an item or any of the combination.

Right now, I am taking Karen Russell's photography class and loving what I am learning! It is helping me capture the moments of our life in a more meaningful way. I am totally behind on scrapping the photos, but as you said that is the ebb and tide of life. Loving it all the same!

Seeing the world through the eyes of my four year old is my favorite thing right now. Because of scrapbooking I am so much more in tune to watching my son, Aidan, discover the world in a way I don't believe I would if I were not involved in this craft. And I am able to capture and preserve these moments through photos and journaling so we can enjoy them now and for years to come.

My favorite thing about memory keeping is that I'm taking the time to do it. I didn't have anything left from my childhood and I really miss that. I want my kids to have the memories. They grow-up so fast and things change all the time so it is nice to document those changes.

Best part of keeping memories is reliving them at a later date. All the things I'd forget that come flooding back by just recording them. Sweet!
