Monday Giveaway : Studio Calico

Hi Ali. My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is getting down on paper, or the computer, or as most often happens, on the calendar, things my boys say, things we do, people we see & places we go, so that when I get to journaling in their scrapbooks, I won't forget! Thanks for the great giveaway. -Melissa

Ali,
My favourite thing about memory keeping is allowing my children see who i am and how i see them. I was able to view a journal that my nan had written when she was a young woman, and the impact it had on me and how i my view changed of her after i read it. I hope that through memory keeping my children will be able to see that part of me also and how much joy.pain, struggle and LOVE i have in my life.The bling is cool, the paper is cool and it all helps tell the story.

my favorite thing right now is the freedom i have in making my documentation exactly what i want it to be. i love that about being a digi designer! :) whatever i see in my head, i can make with my hands. LOVE that! :)

My favorite thing about memory keeping RIGHT NOW is that there is so much inspiration in my life I don't think that I could ever run out of stories to tell and ideas to pass on through my scrapbooking. I love that, when I sit down to tell a story, the words and feelings just FLOW OUT OF ME as if in an effort to make room for what is to come. :-) It's kind of like getting an ever-replentishing fresh dose of 'promise of the future': the more that I let out, the more that pours back in.
Ali, I look forward to your new blog entries EVERY DAY - thanks for the opportunity to win this kit!
Happy Monday!!

I love watching my family look through their books. I can tell I am doing a great thing for them and for me too.

my favorite thing is watching my girls go through all the books I have made for them and them getting excited. Also I have to add another, my hubby, he is always so proud of what I have done and greatful that our family has these records of just our daily lives for generations to see, just like his great grandma's did for him.

My favorite thing is that I am finally enjoying the process. Reading blogs and books like Life Artist and Photo Freedom have helped me take the pressure off and every day I just go with the flow. :)

i love being able to relive an event or experience through my art.

Love that kit! Right now my favorite scrappy thing is enjoying the fruits of my labor. I've been doing it long enough now that I have so many great pages to reminisce over and share with other people.

My favorite thing right now about memory keeping is creating an even better memory by making it in mini-album or creating layouts using those memories (photos, brochures, receipts, etc.). It is far more appealing than just looking at photos. I find myself looking at it far more often than if they where just in a photo box. Also, I like listening to my family and friends comments when they see what I've created. It makes me feel good and so loved...:)
Love the picture of you and Simon (he has grown so much). Thank you!!

to see the changes in both my kids (3 and 11 months). so fun to see them both growing and changing in everyday ways.

I love simply being able to make moments in time stand still so I can cherish them forever.

My MIL passed away the beginning of May and I was given packages of photos that were in her room. They are mostly of my daughter when she was small. I have loved going through them and remembering that time. It is a special gift to have them.

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is my daily life that I probably wont remember in 10 years. like favorite starbucks drink or my favorite shoes...

I am enjoying telling my story, reliving my moments and having serious amounts of FUN!

Right now it's the photos. We moved 2 months ago and while the unpacking, painting,and general work involved in the process hasn't allowed me to scrapbook, I have been able to document through pictures!

My current favorite thing about memory keeping right now is capturing the everday stuff of life. Not just the big moments. One picture has many different stories to tell and I love to hear the different stories that my kids and other family members have to share. Now if I can just document them all!

My husband and I were looking through older scrapbooks the other day....watching my daughter grow and mature...being able to see the growth...that is a favorite part of scrapbooking.

}My favorite thing is the whole creative process, each time is different for me when I sit down. I can't wait to look back on my stuff in a year or even ten from now!
p.s. the kit rocks & so do you!

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is getting all the good stuff down on paper. The everyday stuff with me and my husband, with my family and friends. The stuff I want to remember forever.
