What Matters Monday – YOU Matter!
Monday, September 22nd, 2008
If you open your scrapbook and look through the pages, what is the subject you scrap the most? Is it your spouse, your children, family or friends? Maybe it’s a pet or the places you go? I scrap my children and my family. I scrap the events that are important to us and the moments we share together. To me that is what matters most. As I look through our wonderful ScrapMatters gallery, it seems like I am not the only one that does that either. So it must be what matters most to you too.
But how often do you scrap about yourself? To my children, I am what matters most (or at least I like to think so 
and how much do they really know about me or see my picture in our family scrapbook album.
It was fun being the spotlight yesterday and letting others get to know me. I also thought what a great idea for a layout or special page in my scrapbook. I have been thinking about this as well after my oldest daughter commented, while going through our family scrapbook, that I wasn’t in it. Except for my birthday, Mother’s Day and major holidays…I really wasn’t.
Years from now, when posterity is going through our records, I am afraid there will not be much to know about me…except that I loved my family enough to take the pictures and record (scrap) our life. I know, I know…it seems a little weird to scrap about yourself, right? But that is my challenge to you this week, interview yourself and scrap it! Add a picture or two if you want, but give yourself a spotlight in your scrapbook. And as an added little bonus, if you decide to participate, then please post to this thread in the forum and in the gallery as well, in order to receive this beautiful little mini-kit from me.
This was my example below…some of my favorites and things about me that maybe my children don’t know. But you can add anything you want that represents who you are and what you are all about. Keep scrapping your favorite subjects, but don’t forget about yourself too! I can’t wait to see all the “About Me” layouts in our gallery this week.
