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!

What a beautiful way to describe what it means to scrapbook. I can't imagine it's ever been said any better. I'll remember your words the next time some one asks me why I scrapbook. Thank you for sharing.

Wow... it's amazing how a "simple" collection of photos (LOs) combined with words can be so incredibly moving and bring on so much emotion. That first photo of Simon & Anna is amazing ... the kind you make a great big canvas of and hang on your wall!!! Love this post ... I did a page recently on "why I scrapbook" and it took some time to find the right words. You just made it look SO easy!! ;)
