Monday Giveaway : Studio Calico

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is being able to share my memories with my children. Their reactions and expressions as they look at their pictures and I read the stories to them are priceless.

Right now I am just loving digital scrapping. It is so quick to start and finish. Love it!!!

My mom has alzheimer's and I am trying to get my memories on paper and to ask her to tell me stories. I am also more aware of making sure I do some memory keeping for my own daughters.

I love keeping a journal, I have a terrible memory so it is nice to go back and read the stuff I may of forgotton. Also cherishing letters and cards that I can look back on when the people have passed and bring back those memories as well. Scrapbooking is such a wonderful way to save those memories along with blogging. Thanks for being so inspirational. Pam

WOW! That is A LOT of comments! The kit looks like lots of fun. Thanks, Ali, for all your interesting and inspiring blogging. Between the blog and your books, I always have lots of inspiration when the "what now?" strikes...

The best thing about memory keeping is documenting my life...the awesome times and the rough times. Wonderful to document the journey and be able to look back and remember.

My favorite part of "memory keeping" at the moment, is my recent realization that it doesn't have to be 12 x 12 scrapbooks with pretty paper. Sometimes blogging is good enough. Sometimes just a photo album is enough. My recent favorite is creating photo dvd's for family and friends.

My favorite part of memory keeping is reliving all the different emotions that go along with good and bad times. My dad passed away a little over a year ago and I am so enjoying looking at old pictures and videos and retelling the stories to my fifteen year old daughter.

oops, forgot to actually say my favorite thing about memory keeping right now...
I think right now I'm really enjoying getting into the artsy side of it: using paint, learning new techniques, being inspired to create as well as save the memories is fun.

I love when my kids look at my scrapbooks and remember things that would have been forgotten, if they hadn't have been documented. I love that I can remember those things too, because I have a really short memory!

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is being able to compare the looks, milestones, and quirks of my two boys. My older son is 5 years, and my younger son is almost 6 months. The older one loves seeing how little he used to be, and he makes all sorts of neat connections between himself and his brother.

I recently got married, and my favorite thing about scrapping and memory keeping now is that its allowing me to remember some fun, sweet, pleasant memories from our wedding day. it went by way too quickly, didn't go according to plan AT ALL, and was really stressful (thanks to some antics from my mother-in-law), but going through the photos again is triggering some happy little memories!

I don't have children yet, and I always remembered when I was little asking so many questions about my parents lives when they were growing up that I felt my future children will benefit from my documentation. So I try to keep up with all that I do with journals to create prompts for future pages and then get to working. Thank you for the chance to win. Hope all is well, Ali! :OD

Hello Ali, hope your day was good. not that i think i stand a chance to win,but always try anyway. i check your blog frequently for tips and ideas. i've been scrapbooking 4yrs and just got into cardmaking. anything to stay creating.

what's working for me right now is to remember all the sweet sayings and sentiments my 5 yo daughter comes up with on a daily basis :D

Love the kit.
Favorite thing is remembering all the fun things when our kids were growing up. They are grown now and I'm going through all the pictures.

My favorite thing is just being able to look through my albums and have a flood of memories come back to me about events in my life. So cool...

Memory keeping allows me to express myself artistically, which I never though I could do and be good at.

Gorgeous kit!
Right now my favorite thing about memory keeping is that it's ongoing. I haven't been motivated to journal or scrapbook in a while, but it feels great knowing that I can pick up where I left off (or just start in the present day) and preserve more memories.

Love this kit Ali! And I love your blog, read it religiously altho this is my 1st time commenting.
My favorite thing about memory keeping is showing my loved ones their photos & that I care enough to scrapbook them. Can I say that the actual scrapping part is just plain old fun too - esp when scrapping with friends.
