Yesterday & Today Begins In One Week & A Giveaway

I would like to document the grand adventure that my parents took my 13 year old brother and I on (I was 8) across the country - in a station wagon pulling a tent trailer for 3 1/2 weeks in 1970. I still ask my mum, "what were you thinking?"

Wow! This is a great idea.
I think I would tell a story about my Grandfather. He lived overseas and he passed away before I got the chance to meet him. He was very musical and was the life of the party--my Grandmama made a comment that I was very social like he was, so I want to discover more about him.

I think my first post didn't go through...I'd like to document the ugly truth on how my 14 year old brother ended up in prison for life...he is now 24 and i think my kids are old enough to understand.

I would like to document Christmas - the combination of traditions we celebrate in our family. It would be great to do this throughout the fall and really put me in the mood for the holiday season.

My mother passed away suddenly last Saturday I would love to chronical her life as a testament to her.

I would like to tell the story of spending time with my grandfather as a child - riding the Case tractor. Thanks Ali for the chance to win a spot in your class

I have next-to-nothing from my childhood...only one magnetic album of pictures. I would like to try to incorporate these & document some stories of my growing-up years.

I would like to share how both of my great grandmothers have influenced my life and how lucky I have been to have known each of them personally.

Hi! I'd like to document my relationship with my siblings and their kids. I'd like to become more connected since we live across the country from them.

I'd like to document how my marriage made it possible for my life to be saved when I had kidney cancer.
:-)

I would love to document the relationship that my sister and I share. We have been best friends our whole lives, and have gone through a lot together, and I think it's important that those memories be in my scrapbook.

I want to document my mother at my age. We both bought our first condos at the same age, we both were painting our kitchens at the same age, we were both married at the same age. It would be fun to see the contrast between the photos of us each doing the same things across the years. It would really be a chance to document that relationship.

I'd like to document two things:
- my passion for Art History. I think it would be neat to do a scrapbook full of paintings that inspire me, photos of me in various museums I've been in, and stories about how the paintings impacted my life.
- my experience with Spina Bifida. It sometimes feels as if I wrote it all down, expressed it somehow... I wouldn't feel as if I'm carrying around this *history* with me all the time. It wouldn't feel like such a heavy burde to remember every little detail if I could get it out on pages, along with xrays, images, doctors reports, etc. I'd like to turn it into something beautiful and cathartic.

My grandmother raised me... and she would be my subject. Her name was Olive. I found this real book somewhere called "olives... the life and lore of a noble fruit." Yes thats as silly as it sounds, but i would love to alter this book and used it as a base to scrapbook all my memories of her, the lessons I learned from her, and special things about her I want my children to know. She was just so much fun, and full of love... and silly too- she loved children with a captial L. I've wanted for so long to start on it, and now have the time to. It would be really great to have the help and inspiration of a class like this to do it.

This class looks fantastic!
I want to document some of the stories of my childhood--growing up in a rural community, Sunday post-church brunches with my grandparents, the people who were like family to me, my friends, the community and school activities, etc.
I haven't documented many stories about my roots, and I think this class would really inspire me to look back on where I've come from and how that's played into my values today.

I've always wanted to document the story about my grandma who I could never really hold a conversation with because she only spoke spanish. Starting in Jr High, I made it a mission to learn spanish in hopes I can speak to her. It wasn't until a month before she passed we actually had a real conversation. Only after she passed, I started learning who she really was through my aunts/uncles, etc. I'm the first grandchild of 33 kids (none who spoke spanish). I would like them to know about our grandma. I think I can do that by documenting her story.

I think I would like to document how I became the person that I am, coming of age in the late 60's, surviving parents that struggled emotionally and how that informed my role as a mother.
Thanks for the give-away.

I would tell the story of how spending time on the grandma's farm influenced me.

I would like to document the story of my "fake grandparents".

my growing up years
