Monday Giveaway : Studio Calico

hi ali!
id love a shot at your giveaway..so..my favorite thing about memory keeping right now is that it is always there for me. no matter what is going on in my life, i know i always have this fun thing to do whenever i can squeeze it in--i always have something i can look forward to doing on any given day...and that makes me happy. :)

as my young children get older (even days make a difference) reflecting on how they've grown and all they've accomplished is so rewarding for me and them!

My favorite part always changes, but right now, my favorite part is when I chose which photo to use, and I can reminisce over all the memories that are flooding over me going through all the photos.

It's hard to pick one thing, but I'd have to say that look on my kiddos' faces when they look at a mini album or a layout page that celebrates them.....they are just giddy and there's nothing better than knowing they feel loved :)

My favorite thing right now is receiving heritage photos recently and organizing them and finding out who those people are!

right now my thing is journaling, or rather progressing in terms of writing, and being bold about it LOL,does this make sense for someone out there ? I'm taking a summer on-line class with Shimelle "My Freedom", and thru 10 different themes, we're learning 10 different ways or styles of writing, this is so exciting and new ! I'd love to get one of Calico's, for great new project this class has inspired me ! Take care !

Still trying to leap back into scrapbooking for our family, right now, I am enjoying blogging about our memories. I think this will help me figure out the types of things I want to document in our albums too! It might just be the kick start I needed.
So, pictures and words are what I am going for right now. I will work on the rest when I can get there.

I love that after I scrapbook the words that went with the pictures, I have a chance to share those memories with my kids and we can talk about them like they just happened yesterday. I also love sharing my memories with my students for writing prompts (4th grade).

My favorite thing right now is taking the photos. ;-)

Oh - it has to be the memories! I LOVE to look at the photo and remember the moment. Whether its a recent photo - yesterday, last week - or if its one of my dds, many years ago. I love the warmth that a photo brings. It gets even better when its on a great page or a fun mini album.

I love capturing our daily moments. My son is 18th months and it seems like he is changing so fast I love capturing the simple moments of him playing. BTW Studio Calico totally rocks :)

Right now my favorite thing about memory keeping is having the excuse to create. I work full time outside my home and have a husband and two daughters to take care of when I'm not at work. Sometimes it is hard for me to take the time to do something for myself. When I am able to scrapbook, I get time for myself and I get to fulfill that creative side too. I love creating things!!

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is learning new methods of conveying the essence of the story. Why was that moment important enough to document?, telling enough of the story, and learning to express my true self. Thanks for every little thing that you do Ali.

I am always saying that I don't like change. Then I look at my scrapbooks, my kids, etc.. everything around us is always changing fast. Life is fast. I want to remember all that I can!
thanks!

I love making mini albums focused on summer fun...maybe because summer is so short here!

My favorite thing is keeping track of all these sweet, fleeting moments as my first child grows - the little things that I know I would otherwise forget.

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is that it is taking me to a place of peace and quiet. My world is crazy right now, financial difficulties, a child with a difficult diagnosis, a friend dying of cancer. I had let my scrapping slide to the bottom of my to do list over the past year, but I have recently immersed myself in the escape of memories. After the kids are in bed I am going into my scrap space, shutting the door and forgetting everything outside. My creativity gives my mind a rest. I feel that I am happier with the pages that I have completed lately that the ones I have done in the past. Thanks Ali, you are a big inspiration to me.

My favorite part of memory-keeping is documenting my daughter's journey (soon to be 13 yrs old) while she is making huge steps in developing the wonderful person she is to become!

I'm in the midst of redecorating my art room. Am so grateful for this creative space. I feel inspired to document summer memories since I love summer so much--esecially pool memories. Just completed two mini books as gifts and am glad to see the recipients of these books so happy.

Travel memories and great memories with our now grown children are the most fun for me now. Who knows when gas prices will end our gypsy motorhome days?
