What Matters Monday, May 31, 2010
Monday, May 31st, 2010
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be here with all of you for this week’s What Matters Monday! As today is Memorial Day here in the States, I thought we’d talk a little about honoring the people that we love in our scrapbooks. It can be so easy to get so caught up in getting your events and special moments scrapped that we forget about ensuring that we’re honoring those around us in our pages! As a mom of 3, I tend to scrapbook fairly consistently about my children and our day to day lives. What I’m not as good about is creating pages about all of the people in our lives – family, friends, co-workers, etc. – who make our lives so rich! They are such a huge part of our lives and yet we often forget to honor them in our pages! It’s people that matter the most! It’s people that bring us the human connectedness that is essential for our growth as people and that contributes to our quality of life .
I thought we could all use a gentle reminder that we need to be more mindful of ensuring that we include everyone we care about in our scrapbooks, particularly if we want to create personal, meaningful scrapbooks! In an effort to give you some inspiration as you think of how to include those you love into your own scrapbook pages, here are a few pages that I’ve created which focus on the people that I love and how much they mean to me.
