wk 1 - why I scrap
I scrapbook to get the stories written down, with or without photos, so that I will be able to remember the little and the big things.
I know there were 5 of us kids, and what seems so utterly important to you as a kid, is a single drop in a huge 5 gallon bucket of memories for Mom - but it makes me sad when we ask her “Mom, do you remember when?” - and she doesn’t remember. She just had so much more going on that the little things that we remember - just weren’t memorable events for her.
I want to continue to create something that I can look back at that will help me to be able to say “I remember when”.
Maybe that is silly, but it is important to me… now - who did you say you are? LOL
The pages are some of the memory pages Carla & I have made for Mom. The binders are my new this year (2011) sorting and organizing venture for my scrapped pages.
TFL!

Really beautiful page. The one of five children was true to me too and my mom didn't remember anything of my childhood. Luckily my older sisters are a bit better at remembering. I commend you for your honesty.
