Note it. Appreciate it. Write it down.
The things I hear you say to the kids on my behalf…
“Guys, get away from Mom’s door. I don’t want her to feel rushed.”
…while I was finishing a scrapbook project before leaving with the family.
Me: Do you need me?
You: I always need you. You’re a need and a want.
Me: Sorry to bother you again.
You: Oh, don’t worry about bothering me. It just means I get to see you again.
I’m still working on the actual scrapbooking of this part, but I’ve been dong a lot of the photo-capturing and journaling!

We come here about every other week. I have lots of pictures here!
A Favorite Activity

We love live music and going to concerts. Here we are outside Dodge Theater waiting to see Slightly Stoopid play.
You don’t have to share the particulars. I didn’t…
Somehow we’ll make it cause that’s what we do. –Red Hot Chili Peppers
I think vacation scrapbook stories are even more interesting and meaningful if you focus more on how your personalities come into play in the vacation.
Or how the vacation might affect the relationship.
New Starts and Joint Discoveries

This trip inspired the idea of mountain-biking through the desert trails. We’ve been biking most every Friday since this trip except during the most extreme points of winter and summer.
We ate at our first vegan restaurant — Loving Spoonfuls! We loved it!
This trip was the start of a whole series of firsts and a fun new exciting time in our life together.

Money talks. But it don’t sing and dance and it don’t walk. Long as I can have you here with me I’d much rather be forever in blue jeans. (Neil Diamond).
In October you walked away from The Man. The suit and the tie disappeared and the jeans came out. We depend now on our creativity and drive. We gave up a lot of monetary luxuries. And we are happier. Life is more fun than ever before. The past three months have been a honeymoon for us. Life is so very, very good. Love you.
Turns out today is the last day of the world. So I thought I’d provide you with a list of “Lasts” prompts for a page about yourself. Better hurry if you’re a slow scrapbooker!.
You can also print it up and give it to each of your family members for a fun little mini-book. Or, perhaps you’re having a Last Day of the World party tonight? You can give the list to each of your guests for a fun activity!
(Why didn’t I think of that before?)
Along with my own answers.

Scrapbooking About Yourself
Did you know that when you sign up for a Paperclipping Membership, you’ll get instant access to almost 170 scrapbooking video tutorials, plus two more every month? Find out more here!
I don’t know why it is that we have so much to scrapbook about our children, but can’t so easily find topics we think are worthy for ourselves.
Here are forty-seven questions you can scrapbook and answer about yourself. Combine a handful for one page, or devote a layout to a single question. I’m using these questions in the book I’m currently altering, based on Dedra Long’s tutorial in our Altered Books tutorial.
1. What’s the story behind your name?
2. What was happening in the world when you were born?
3. What is your earliest memory of home?
4. What was your favorite hiding place as a child? What is your favorite hiding place as an adult?
5. Describe your favorite outfit as a child, and as a youth. What about now?
6. In your opinion, what has been the most significant world event that has taken place during your lifetime? Why?
