Welcome
to lesson 5!
Our
lesson this week is dedicated to helping you create visual
harmony and order with your new non-chronological approach
to storing completed layouts. When you figuratively 'wrap
up' your completed pages in a colorful and inviting navigation,
you feel an incredible sense of guilt-free order and freedom!
The All About Trey album in our library is introduced
with this collage of delightful personality shots of Trey!
I am
tickled to report that the philosophy behind this whole
Library of Memories approach is starting to sink in! I so
enjoy reading your Aha moments on our message boards and
I love poking around our gallery to find really cool pages
celebrating unique personal connections. Yep, the evidence
is starting to trickle in...
Here's
a recent post from Blayne W. on the Ask Stacy forum:
I
wanted to share a blog post I wrote when I realized an
upcoming daddy/daughter dance might be the last my teenager
will attend. Is she too old? Will she take time for dad
next year? Overcome with emotion while listening to Stephen
Curtis Chapman's song "Cinderella" I was able
to come home, find pictures spanning 8 years within about
2 minutes and write my post, which will soon become a
scrapbook page. Now, the feelings are not lost in the
moment, but recorded for her to read.
I
would have been unable to put this together while I was
still feeling all the emotions of that day with my previous
"un"organizational system. Library of Memories
does take quite a bit of effort (you warned us!). But,
I really do feel it's worth the effort. I love the story-telling
aspect of scrapbooking, but in the past couple of years,
the overwhelming number of stories I want to tell and
my inability to locate the pictures I need has paralyzed
me. I feel confident now that I can tell my stories!

Your
patience with this process will pay out big dividends in
terms of your potential to scrapbook in more meaningful
ways. Because you are beginning to connect with and record-even
in short snippets-the most authentic aspects of your life,
you will have a greater sense of satisfaction with this
amazing hobby. This satisfaction in turn generates more
energy for life, which of course makes life more enjoyable
and therefore more likely to inspire meaningful scrapbooking.
What
a wonderful enabling cycle of inspired creativity!
I know
it may sound overstated, but I've felt it and I really,
truly believe it.
