Monday Giveaway : Studio Calico

My favorite is creating pages that my family really enjoy looking at.

My favorite thing about memory keeping is watching my two daughters and my family going through the albums remembering those special times that we shared together.

Keeping track of all the cute new words my two year old is learning - I don't want to forget a thing, so I write everything in my planner :)

Count me in! My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is knowing I am preserving my thoughts, feelings, experiences, and photos for my posterity. I feel that is so important. Thanks for the chance to win!

My favorite and always have been is that scrapping is simply my way of keeping our family journal with pictures. What could be better than that? ;)

What a beautiful kit! My favorite thing right now is keeping track of all the little things my son is experiencing so we can share the memories with him when he is older.

Favorite thing: That I am having fun!

I lost my mom when I was only 4 years old. There weren't many pictures of her or myself growing up. I love scrapbooking because I can pass onto my own kids their "history". Someone mentioned earlier how they love to see their kids faces as they look through the albums--that is what I love.

My favorite thing right now is sharing the pages and esp stories with my kids. We love looking through and hearing/seeing the stories.

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is the excitement that my kids have about my scrapbooks! They are so excited for me to scrapbook their activities - they are so used to it that they will ask me "do you need this xxxx (like a ticket stub,e tc) for your scrapbook?" - the best part is that they know all of this and they are only 4 and 6 years old!!

My favorite thing right now is that I'm documenting more and more "everyday" things...like making cookies, shaping things with clay, whatever the kids are up to. I so wish my mom had taken pictures of our family doing these little things. I also love that my girls just asked recently to get out their adoption books and wanted to sit and look at them with me...nothing sweeter!

My favorite thing about memory keeping is making connections - realizing how much my oldest son is like my youngest. Or discovering that my daughter has many of my habits from my teenage years. I took Stacy Julian's LOM class this year and it has been absolutely thrilling to start seeing all these most important memories.

i loooove that no matter what i create my family will always love and cherish whatever it is that i am creating. that means that in the moment, i can create for myself, i can play all i want and have fun with it, still knowing my family is going to love what i have created.
love that.

right now that i am a f/t sahm i have all these "ideas" floating around. i want to keep each and every moment. i'm making mini albums so i can jot and adhere pic to paper so it can get done. sometimes i feel like i'm running out of time. i have an 11yr ds and an 8yr dd. time flies.....

What a great kit! Hope to get my paws on it:)
Nothing like a great give-away to ease the Texas heat!

My favorite thing right now is making sure that I'm preserving all of the little everyday things that my kiddos are doing - they are only little for a short time and I don't want to miss 1 little thing!!! I document everything :)
I adore that Studio Calico kit and wasn't able to get one...it would be perfect for my Sweden trip pictures!!!!

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is organizing and remembering. I've been trying to get my space, my supplies, and my photos in some sort of order. I love looking through my unsorted pictures and just remembering. I love scrapbooking the moments and seeing some of these old photos let me reminisce about this or that. An instant in time that I will never forget. My second favorite thing? Sharing these memories. It's such a rush to finish a page and share it with someone who was in the moment too. I love to see their face light up or burst out in laughter or tears because they, too, are reliving that moment.

My favorite thing is doing less of it! I have given myself permission to do fewer layouts in my children's books. The layouts that I do have more meaning and story to them and I won't have to house 18 scrapbooks for each of my three children.

I recently did some of the albums holding my families genealogical history. We had gotten everything together back in early 1990's but then grandma died and then my mom. Now I am doing the albums and I don't know the names etc. So I am glad I did these and am in the process of doing more, so my children and theirs too will have the stories to go with the pictures in an album.
Just the random thoughts that come from observing photos.

My favorite thing right now is getting to share the memories I'm keeping with others. In fact, I'm making my cousin and his wife an album of their wedding right now! It makes me so happy that I can do this for them!
