Monday Giveaway : Studio Calico

My favorite thing is that my kids love to look at the books. I love how it jogs their memories of things that we have done or places we have gone to.

Even though it is not super-trendy right now, I still make sure that I include at least the date of the photos on all of my pages. I think those record-keeping details are really important.

My favorite part of memory keeping right now is FINALLY having it sink in to my little brain (thanks to your Life Artist book too by the way!!) that I need to be focusing on the words that go with the pictures! It has given me new inspiration and excitement for what I am doing!

Making albums about my vacations. Let's my family and me relive them over and over.

I like to make the books but don't usually have pictures - but I was ordered to take alot of pictures on my vacation by my scrapbooking friend Madeline so I could fill up my books.

My favorite thing about memory keeping is being able to document memories and traditions for my family. I use scrapbooking as journal keeping.

my favorite thing right now is using what I have to create things I love! Like so many others, I could open a store with my "collection" of supplies. Lately I have been making a dent in my stash and I LOVE it!

There are two things lately, one has been the papers and other bits from our life, like all the fun papers you collect on a vacation, the stuff you can't go purchase at the store.
The other has been capturing my oldest daughters artistic ability, by making her a portfolio of her art work right now,at age four. I would love to do this every year, and combine it all into one book.
Thanks for doing the giveaway!

My favorite thing has to be recording the little moments with my son. Like the other day at the store, we were talking to a lady with a bit much eye make up, and he said to her "You have poop in your eyes".... this is why I scrap book!

Two fave things about memory keeping: 1) I don't have to feel guilty if I'm not ON IT every single second. Living life is part of the process too. 2) I love when I do come across something that sparks a memory, like a photo, or scrapbook page, on the wall and have that instant welling of emotion and connection.

My favorite thing is sharing the pages I make with my kids. They think it is so cool to look at the pages of themselves. And now my oldest son wants to scrapbook with me.

favorite thing about memory keeping right now: acrylic mini books!!!! :)

I want to keep memories because I forget even important happenings very fast. So I always want to remember what happend in my life, how the love between my boyfriend and me growas day by day. If I am old, I want to have a opportunity to look back at my life, see the good and bad things that happend and what in the end caused the person I am.

Oh, that looks really great and so jummie. I think it is important to keep memories not only for yourself but also for your family. And it is really relaxing......not having all those pictures, newspaper articles etc. everywhere:).

It is really helping me see and appreciate my son's progress. Whether it's the normal milestones as he grows or the ones in speech that we really fight for, I can look back and enjoy the journey.

How cool to read so many comments reflecting such a great group of readers.
My favourite bit right now is seeing people come in my house and head for "their" albums. At a big family do five girls from both sides of our family, who had never met before said, "Oh! You're the girl who...." and went off to play already friends. Such a cool moment.
Sharing the moments and learning more about my family as I ask their points of view - so good to have that change of perspective.

My favorite thing right now is just playing. I'm trying not to be perfect in what I create but to just tell the story and play with all of my fun products. Basically, I'm trying to really just enjoy my hobby!

your favorite thing about memory keeping is right nowrecording the everyday little moments and stories. I want to be reminded and leave behind the little nuances that were us and made up our lives, besides the milestones of growth.

My husband and I have lost several loved ones the past couple of years and it has changed the way I look at scrapbooking. I no longer see it just as a chronology of events, but now try to portray everyday life along with the big events and traditions. That's my favorite thing right now - taking pictures, scrapbooking, and journaling to preserve my feelings and emotions about the people in my life along with the events!

I love being able to make something that hopefully my future children, grandchildren, and so forth will look at. I want them to be able to get a sense of who I am and what my life was like through my pics and stories.
