Hey guys, this is Lisa Day for Big Picture Scrapbooking. I thought I'd take this time to tell you a little bit about the inspiration behind why I created this class!

Recently I was talking with my little sister Staci about our childhood. We were talking about our favorite childhood memories of growing up together and as we talked about these she brought up stories that I didn't remember and some that I remembered very differently than she did! This got me to thinking. How many other things do we remember differently? How many memories does she have that I had totally forgotten about? And then, how many different relationships do I have where this is true?

After one conversation with her I thought to myself why am I not recording some of these stories? And why when I do record them are they only from my side? It would be so much more rewarding if I could hear both sides of the story together, instead of just my version of it, and in turn be able to get a more in-depth look at our relationship. I wondered how much more of our relationship could be uncovered by if we told our stories together?

So I decided...hey, I'm a scrapbooker...wouldn't it be fun to create a mini album that I could use to capture our stories and get both sides of the relationship. This has probably been one of my most favorite projects I have ever done and I am so excited to be offering it to you as Self Paced project class.

In this class, I will walk you through creating a mini album that you can use to gather stories from both sides. I have some questions you can ask to get the memories and stories flowing! I created three mini albums that celebrate different relationship, which I share with you in the class. The three I created were one between my husband and I, which was funny because we had so many similar answers! I did one between me and my little sister and got to find out things that I didn't know she thought about our relationship. And I also created an album for my parents that captured their story where I learned things I didn't know about their relationship and they got to find out how each other felt about things. I could have done this for probably every relationship I have and even captured more than two sides to the story! It is such a cool process and putting it all together in a mini album so we could keep these stories preserved was a lot of fun.

I hope you join me in this class and find out how rewarding it is to reminisce with a loved one and capture both sides of your relationship! This is BIG!
