Words for Wednesday!
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008
Hi Everyone!
Denise here with my first blog post…and I am so excited to talk about words.
I love scrapbooking, not only for the opportunity that we have to capture our lives in photos, but also in words.
For me, a page isn’t complete unless I have written about how I feel about the subject, or what I thought about the moment, or given some other commentary…because somewhere down the road, when I look back, I not only want to remember what I was thinking at the time, I also want it to be a legacy for my children and for their children too.
So, today I want to give you challenge. I want you to scrap about words. I want you to write about something funny that someone you love said. But, not only about what they said, but the funny, cute, or endearing way that they said it.
For example, I love that my oldest daughter called hamburgers, hang-a-burgs, or that one of my little ones calls yogurt, o-gurt, or that my sweet Korean grandmother can’t say an American cliche properly, no matter how hard she tries. I find it so sweet that she will tell you that she “is broken” when she means to say that she is broke.
Here is a layout with the Sunset Garden Kit by DigiKeepsakes about they way that my three-year-old daughter says the alphabet. I love it! And I want to remember it just this way!
So, let’s write it down.
I’ve started a thread here in the forum for you to share your layouts. Everyone who participates will receive this AWESOME alpha by our very own Brittney of Britt-ish Designs as a participation prize.
Remember, after you post in the gallery, post in the forum so that I know you’re playing along. Everyone who posts before next Wednesday will recieve the alpha! After that, it will be only be available for purchase through the store.
I am looking forward to seeing what you have to say!
Hugs,
Denise
