Journaling- 397 words:
Why do I scrapbook? Well, I started out scrapping 21 years ago, when Josh was born. I wanted to remember every little moment with him, especially since I have always been creative and enjoyed playing with paper and scissors. As our family grew to include Abby 18 years ago then was completed by Mollie 16 years ago, I continued to enjoy taking photos of my 3 sweet kids day by day. I took a bit of a break from scrapbooking from 2008-2011, then started back scrapping digitally. I had been frustrated with the mess and space taken up with my crafting supplies, but that was resolved when I moved to scrapping with a computer. No more need for glue or storage needed for all the little bits and bobs, except for the occasional upgraded computer and of course external hard drives for all the supplies!
I love being able to look back on memories captured years ago, with journaling from that time, and I also love to take photos from a time gone by and narrate them with insights I have gained over the years. Taking photos has been a way I can try to slow time down a bit and hold on to my babies a bit longer.
I looked through my Google Photos to find a few photos with all three of my kids and couldn’t choose just one- so here are 8 photos I love of all the kids over a lot of years. Starting with the Halloween Costume photo, Josh was a whoopie cushion, Abby was Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ and Mollie was a cowgirl in 2010. Going clockwise from there, are all 3 for Abby’s graduation in May 2020. Next, we have all 3 camping in Tennessee at Fall Creek Falls on spring break. Below that is a Christmas portrait in our home in Virginia in Dec 2006. At the bottom is a Spring Break trip to Dauphin Island Alabama in 2016. In the bike helmets, the kids are at my parents’ house in Gardendale in summer 2007. The last 2 photos are on our front porch in Alabama, one from 2007 and one from 2010.
I am glad I can look at these photos and remember where we were in each shot, but I am most happy that I have captured some of those memories in the pages of my scrapbooks.

      What a wonderful page! Loved reading the journaling and reading the notes about each of the photos. (I wouldn't be able to pick just one either!) Great design!
