I Scrapbook

And everyday moments.
And days gone by.
To rememberminutes that pass by in an instant.
And what it was like when it was just three of us.
To capture stuff like this.
And this.
And this.
And this.
And this.
To tell my story.
And his.
And his.
And hers.
And ours.
To pay closer attention toeveryday life.
To create and play and experiment.
To embrace life.
[ The above was adapted from my Keynote presentation at CKU's in 2008 ]
And just a couple quick updates:
(1) I will doing a chat at Cocoa Daisy on Sunday at 3pm as part of their weekend crop.
(2) I signed up for Twitter in June 2008 and am finally in a posting groove. I added the recent update widget over on the left or you can follow me here.
(3) Designer Digitals Quarterly Sale began last night and runs through 6am Eastern Tuesday. 30% off everything in the store plus 16 hours of chats and freebies on Saturday.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Ali,
Your list in today's post is an inspiration, a motivator, a reminder of WHY I scrapbook. It's not about WHAT it looks like, WHAT products you use, but about people, love, connections and life.
One of my favorite little poems hearkens back to the "soul" of scrapbooking:
If of thy mortal goods thou are bereft
And from thy slender store two loaves alone are left,
Sell one, and with the dole
By hyacinths to feed the soul.
Scrapbooking feeds my soul. And that of others, I hope.
Okay, so I use this to justify spending grocery money on scrap supplies! LOL!
I also buy the hyacinths.
LOVE the pics of Simon and Anna. LOVE. Have a great family weekend!
