Honoring Our Loved Ones
Hello everyone! Let’s talk about scrapbooking today. While scrapbooking as a hobby is about SO many different things, part of it for me it is about honoring our loved ones.
It is remembering family members who have passed as well as documenting our current lives. I personally love looking at older pictures and seeing the way people used to dress or remembering how our house looked growing up.
It is also fun to see our loved ones in a way we might not remember them. Finding a picture of a younger version of them is a treasure.
This is why I scrapbook – because someday I might not remember the little details or a younger family member will get to see pictures of relatives they don’t remember.
I want them to have those special photos of our extended family. And of themselves. Pictures need to be printed, shared & enjoyed.
Last Friday was my grandmother’s birthday. She has been gone for 22 years now so I am glad I have photos to remember her by.
I started this blog to encourage people to save, organize, share & enjoy their photos and family stories.
This is why. People we love will pass away and we may not always remember all the little moments, but having the memories documented helps.
If you are interested in preserving your memories but don’t know where to start, please let me know – I would love to help!
