Why I scrapbook
The short answer is because memories fade. It is simple and true over time memories dim. Now for the more extended answer of this question lies deep in my heart. My father passed away when I was 14. Of course I remember my father and I have memories of times spent with him but over the years my memories have faded. It is sad but sometimes I feel like I really don't remember who he was. It has been a long time. That is why I scrapbook. My children will have a legacy confined to the binds of my scrapbooks. It is all in there for them. I pour out my heart in those pages. I want them to remember all the times we've had. Not just fun times but hard times, troubled times, and important times. Through my scrapbooks I want them to know my wishes and hopes for them and how I adore them. Plus scrapbooking is fun! I enjoy the creative outlet. I could just scrapbook all day (oops-sometimes I do). Scrapbooks have also been found useful in therapy with Alzheimer's patients, so I figure I am covered-you know, just in case.




I will upload what I have been working on tomorrow. It is late now-I am going to bed.
