Yesterday & Today Begins In One Week & A Giveaway

My grandmother was always someone I called my "favorite person in the whole world," right up until her death when I was in high school. I have never documented our relationship and want to make sure I do that soon... :)

I have so many stories to tell about my childhood that go beyond putting them in a photo album. My mom has been giving me old pictures so it would be a great time to take this class.
One of my most precious stories, I want to document and journal in a meaningful way is about my grandmother. I want to tell about her reaction when I was born. She threw up the money she was counting when she learned that I had been born and she was now a grandmother. I want to use other photos and words to describe my relationship with her. and what I remember about her.
Looks like a great class. Jessica Stoops

I would love to be able to share the stories of my childhood and my family - how we became who we are today, as well as the stories of my husband's family since they are all immigrants. I think that the stories would have a nice contrast while sharing our ethnic backgrounds & traditions.

I would love to document the story of the house I grew up in. I was brought home as a newborn and saw the place go through many changes and renovations both inside and out as I grew up. I moved out all too quickly just 4 years ago when my parents split with hardly time to reflect and say goodbye. I have all the pictures over the 20 years I lived there and I haven't felt ready to tell the story until recently given the bitter ending as my home. Despite that, it provided a place of comfort, many happy times and fond stories that I now feel ready and would love to tell. It was not a house, but a home.

This sounds silly, but I would like to document the story of my hair. I have big crazy curly hair (and always have). My childhood pics are so funny- I always look like a mess. My first dog was Sandy (from Annie)and everyone always commented on my hair. My son now has my curls...I laugh and cry about it at the same time! It would be funny to document the hair through the years, and now show pics of my son.

Ahhh. Where to start?! Stories about my great-grandparents (who lived until I was 30!), my grandparents, my parents, me, and my husband. Stories to pass down.

There could be so many. Recently I was thinking about documenting the births of my 2 boys (they were both early). And since they never got to know him, I'd like to put something together about my grandfather who passed when I was young. He was always very special to me, and I know the boys would love to know something about him.
Thank you for this great opportunity!

The memories I have of my grandparents while I was growing up.

I'd like to document why I became a teacher. Since I spend so many hours in a classroom now, and spent so many in one to get to this point in my career, it deserves to be documented.

I was just thinking about this yesterday while driving to pick up the kiddos. I had painted my nails the night before so I was admiring ;) them on the steering wheel and I immediately was taken back to the very first bottle of nailpolish I ever got! I remember it perfectly and it was probably 30 years ago! Yesterday I was thinking how great it would be to do a layout of that special day. I even remember the color!! It was called Heather Grey!! Thanks for the opportunity!

childhood times spent with grandparents

I would like to document some stories about my grandmother who has passed away. Like how she always served me ice tea in the sail boat glass and she made us toast with brown sugar and butter for breakfast. The special name she called me and more...

I need to tell about my grandmother always being my "standing ovation."

My childhood and those people who made an impact on my life.

I would love to document all the stories and memories my children have with us and their grandparents. I didn't have the chance to create wonderful memories of me and my grandparents because they died when my mom was 16. Two years later she had me. I only know them from a photograph... I want my children to remember their grandparents in a wonderful way....what were they like? It would be a great way to explore my own childhood, my mothers childhood and my grandmothers as well... so I get to know more about them (and me)and document it for my own children.
I live in the Netherlands... I hope it's possible to join...!

I'd love to talk the engagement of my parents would be interesting to transcribe your story:)

I'm currently undergoing IVF treatment...hoping my dream to be a mom comes soon, and I would like to document this.

I would document the strength my mom showed by raising a family in foreign countries.

I would like to document my journey as a mother to two wonderful children. From the beginning to the present and keep going into the future. I can not think of anything more special than being a mom.
