The Blog

Scrapblog is a great way to record your experiences through stories, music, photos and videos. According to dictionary.com, a journal is defined as “a daily record, as of occurrences, experiences, or observations”

Journaling can sometimes seem like an afterthought when you are working on your scrapblog layouts. The photographs on your pages are only telling part of the story. I encourage you to sit down today and pull out your favorite photo, an index card (or piece of paper), a pen and write down all the reasons why you love your photo. Is it the people in the photo that you love? Does it remind you of a time you shared with a friend or an unforgettable vacation? What story comes to mind when you see your photo? Then create your scrapblog based on your notes, send it to your friends and family. I’m sure they want to see your photo stories come to life.

I was looking through my flickr photos for the one photo that I feel like is my “favorite.” I kept going back to this photo that my husband took of my nephew and I, just a few hours after he was born. It’s my favorite because it reminds me of the moment he came into the world. A lot happened in the hours before this photo was taken. When I look at it, the photograph seems so peaceful despite the chaos going on just moments before the snap of the camera. All the nurses, doctors, lights, medical instruments and the buzz of the hospital are replaced by the simple, sleeping sounds of this new little life.
