My favorite thing is being able to record many things I would have forgotten, it's easy to do with 6 kids. I'm always amazed at how much information I can get onto a single sb page.

Great kit - your giveaways are always so generous! Right now, my favorite part of memory keeping is actually scrapping with my kids. They now have their own 8 x 8 albums and enjoy picking through my "extra" photos and my supplies to create their own pages with memories. We ask for opinions and help from each other with our layouts. Not only are we bonding by sharing, we are creating memories in the process! I create on my own, but I really do enjoy having my girls with me at the table when they join me.

Hi Ali! I think my favorite thing about memory keeping is how the family will enjoy each photo and scrapbook page/book in the future years to come. Even though I do get a lot of "please get that camera out of my face looks" right now....I know it will all be a joyful passtime to gather as a family and look back at the memories later!!!

I am currently creating a "Letters to Jade" scrapbook for my newest granddaughter. I have been writing letters to her since I learned of her impending birth. I plan to give it to her when she graduates from high school. I am also, updating my "Letters to Jenna" scrapbook. She is 6 years old and I have been working on hers since before birth, too. Thanks for constantly inspiring, motivating and challening me with your wonderful ideas! cheryle

I love to feel free to create. To try. To do wherever I feel to.
thanks for the giveaway!

Right now, the most important thing about memory making is spending time with friends and helping each other document our memories. I hang out with some of my girlfriends from church and it's so much fun reliving memories and sharing them with each other. It's a great time for fellowship and also a great way to create new memories!!

My favorite thing right now is mini-albums. I'm working on one for 2007 summer vacation. I like that all the memories of one event are contained in one album. I keep them all in a basket in my family room so it's easy for my kids to flip through them when they want.

Ali, memory keeping is so important to me now. My son just turned 2. We know he will be an only child and want to preserve and cherish all the goodness of his childhood. The first 2 years went by so fast and I am sure the rest of his childhood will fly by. We are taking as many pictures as we can and I am writing down as many stories and memories as possible. There is just not enough time to scrapbook everything but at least we have a blog and a journal to record it all.

my favorite thing about scrapbooking is learning more about myself as I journal, design, create and share as well as the friendships I am forming because of my hobby.

I love how inspired I am to scrapbook photos and stories of my son's life (he turns 3 months old today). I'm so glad I will have these pages to remember the big and little moments and what a miracle he is!

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is not only enjoying the current memories and documenting them but looking back at pictures when my children (now 28 and 18)were young and remembering the event or that moment and documenting them.

Wow- thanks for the opportunity! I think my favorite thing about memory keeping is just that: I am storing my memories in a safe place, so when my brain fails me, and I forget the squinched-up face my baby would make when he was 1 year old, I can refresh my memory by flipping through the scrapbook.

my favorite thing about memory keeping right now is the joy i get from watching my 18 and 16 yr old daughters look through the albums and pages i've made over the past few years (trying so hard to remember the little things they did/said when i wasn't a scrapbooker!). what fun!

My favorite thing about memory keeping is the ability to look back on all the wonderful moments we've collected in our lives. As time passes, so does our memory of the event. Documenting the moments keeps it alive.

My fave thing is seeing how my boys love looking through the scrapbooks. They think it is so cool to see themselves as babies. And I can tell it makes them feel special.

My favorite thing about memory keeping is th feeling that progress is being made, accomplishments are plentiful, which, as a mother sometimes eludes me.

Helping our soon-to-be adopted child to know his/her entire family through memories captured in photos and journaling is my favorite part of memory keeping right now.
I love to create scrapbook keepsakes for family and friends to treasure their special ones and favorite memories. But now, more than ever, I have a passion for capturing even the smallest of memories that I don't want to forgot to share with the adopted child that will hopefully soon bless our home and our lives!
Thanks for being such and inspiration Ali!

My favorite thing now is digital templates! They take the guesswork of LO design out and more time to get the LO finished to collect more memories!!

Hi...
Loved the post about the photo booth, so fun! Like you, I'm a big "mini book" person, and by making them, I enjoy flipping back to them and remembering that time in my family's life.
thanks..
