My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is the joy it brings me and others to have a record of our lives. My 2 year old loves his "picture" books! Just wish I had more time for it.
Really love your thoughts, training/tips, photos (Simon is adorable!) & fun from your blog too.

For me, "memory keeping" through scrapbooking means that I'll never forget the little moments and the big moments in my family's life. The days, months and years may pass, but I'll always have my albums to keep the memories alive and fresh.

My favorite thing about keeping memories is, the fact that I get to look back and remember how I felt that day, see how much my family has grown, and most of all I'm keeping my life recorded for those who will miss me when I'm gone.

What a fantastic giveaway...love those kits!What I'm enjoying most about memory keeping right now is letting myself be inspired to create layouts with random photos & not restricting myself to working in chronological order. Freeing myself from that rut is great fun!

My favorite thing right now is how my family is brought even closer together over finished and ongoing projects. Remembering our lives together in such a personal way, and in a way that hands down family heritage is just plain awesome. I have just started scrapbooking this year, and LOVE it!

I love watching my kids and family looking through the scrapbooks and remembering the times and moments represented in them.

My favorite thing about memory keeping is remembering the nice moments, the family, the friends, the places. As someone once said "To remember is to live again".

My favorite thing about keeping memories is, the fact that I get to look back and remember how I felt that day, see how much my family has grown, and most of all I'm keeping my life recorded for those who will miss me when I'm gone.

my favorite about memory keeping is how it always brings me back to the moment to 'feel'. I often pull out my journal just for fun read...it reminds me how my children have grown and all the changes we've been thru. it's the emotions it bring that keeps me journaling.
i love using all the clear stamp journaling blocks avail. out there to journal.

I just want to capture life and remember it! I also want to leave things behind for my future family to know about me! Thanks for the give away!

Hi Ali. My favourite thing about memory keeping right now is documenting real life with my husband and step sons. Someday, when they're grown men, I want my stepsons to be able to look back and see what they meant to me (through good times and bad), how I say their dad, what it felt like to become part of their family, my thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc. Right now I'm just Nicole, the woman who married their dad and became their step mom, but I hope when they're older they'll get a glimpse into who I truly was and just how much my life changed when I fell in love with their dad, and them.

Holy Majoly- I don't have a chance in you know what!!! Look at all these comments. WOw!! Ok I scrap for my sons to carry on our family stories. And so that they will remember long after we are gone.

My favourite thing is going back and reading the journaling on albums I made when my son was tiny. It reminds me how many details would have been forgotten without this precious craft!

My favorite thing is how it makes my boys feel when they see me create a layout all about them. I have 5 boys between the ages of 21 and 11. No matter how old they are they love seeing preserved memories from their childhood. They've sat down going through album with many "girlfriends." It's fun to watch them light up as they share their past.

My favorite thing about scrapping.. is that when I am scrapping away.. I sometimes look at the picture of Tanner as a toddler and get taken instantly back to that day I took the picture.

WOW there are ALOT of comments!
My absolute fave thing about memory keeping is thinking of my children sharing our albums with their children, and hopefully even their children's children! Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it! :)

It is crazy to see so many comments but I just thought I would add mine to the mix.
For me right now I would say that it is the whole concept of capturing my kids, my husband, and my family right at this very moment in photos and then telling them in almost every layout how they affect my life. It is that relationship that I want to live on forever, so that if we are not together they always know how I feel about them.

I'm totally loving hybrid scrappin! Mixing digital with traditional makes it sooooooo easy & quick!!! Oh yeah, did I mention FUN?!
Thanks for the chance.
