Yesterday & Today Begins In One Week & A Giveaway

I would like to document my childhood and the closeness with my Grandparents. It's something I would love for my children to one day have to read so they could understand more about my life - before they came along.

I'd like to record my years of being a semi-professional magician, from the age of 10 until my mid-twenties, especially the relationship I shared with my great uncle who taught me all my magic tricks. Time to start passing along the tradition to my own daughter!

I would like to document my role as a mother in light of my own mother. Things about my childhood that now make more sense because I am a mom.

One thing that I would like to scrapbook about is my dad's Army career. Your workshop looks great! =)

I just received some scanned photos of my paternal grandparents and great-grandparents. And I really want to put those pictures into stories for my girls, so they'll know where they come from.
My grandfather passed away in March and we found many of his documentation of pictures in words. He wrote many details in the back of his pictures: the who, when, and why. Very intentional and purposeful about his life.
During the funeral service, the pastor showed a calendar, full of my grandfather's handwriting, documenting the every day details. Quite an amazing story keeper. I'm looking forward to get my hands on the calendar (my family lives in Indonesia) and get a glimpse of his daily, beautiful life.
Thanks for the opportunity, Ali! Would really treasure the opportunity to join the class!

I would like to document my childhood memories of the people that shaped my life when I was young...
Thanks for the chance to win!

When my Grandpa died a few months ago, I receieved the gift of all of the family photos from my dads side of the family! I have a lot of stories to tell about amazing people, but I really want to focus on my dad who died of cancer when I was 16. I especially want to document the things that he always said he would tell me when I was "old enough", Vietnam, his brother who also died of cancer as a teenager, etc and fill in the gaps of what I don't know about my dad. I need all the help I can get! Thanks for the opportunity!

How my husband and I met.

I would love to compare my story with that of my great grandmothers. I have several lovely pictures of her in everyday life...pictures that have always made me pause and ponder what she was thinking and feeling in that moment. I have a shot of her sitting on a balcony with a lovely dress surrounded by her best friends. My goal is to find simliar pictures of me during my lifetime that mirror my grandmothers. I think its fascinating to think that human beings really haven't changed all that much...we need kinship, love and family. My grandmother struggled and felt and experienced all of the emotions I am feeling now. I love to think of that!!!!

I'd like to document on "Becoming Authentic" — i.e., on becoming and being the real me. Oh, how I'd love a spot in "Yesterday and Today"....

I'd like to document my "faith journey".
Thanks for another really great giveaway Ali!

I'd like to share the story of being a mother. It's so much more than I anticipated when I was trying to get pregnant :)

I don't know who my biological dad really is, there are two possibilities, and I knew one of them, the other passed when I was very young so I would love to document on that touchy, confusing subject so that my kids know what is going on. Too many secrets that have to get out!

After feeling poorly for years, I was just diagnosed with a fructose and lactose intolerance. I feel like I need to document the journey to help come to term with what it means for the rest of my life.

I photos of me as a baby & a toddler along with some current ones that I want to use to document that the smile is still exactly the same... 45 years later.

I was critically injured fighting a fire in 1997. As a young firefighter, it was a devastating injury that cost me my career in the fire service. While I only spent a few short years as a firefighter, I found it incredibly painful to move on and find new work and new meaning for my life. I decided that I had to take that incident and use it to help someone else who might experience a similar incident. I started a non-profit organization that helps injured emergency service workers as well as the families and fire departments of firefighter who die in the line of duty. I want to be able to document this work but it has been painful for me to think about how I could document my past as a firefighter, my accident, and now the work that I do. I think this class would be perfect in helping me sort through all of those memories. Thank you!

I would like to record my school years. Or my older family members that have already passed now and I don't remember much about.

I have a few random childhood memories that I would somehow like to tie together, and sorry but i do not have any photos for this - I really need help :)

Since I am close to 60 and started scrapping 3 years ago, just about anything in my life. But specifically we did some extended family vacations that I would like to document. Good times!

I would like to document the story of my adoption.
