journaling:
I started scrapping almost nine years ago when my little guy was in NICU. It was a way to fight the insomnia and to ease my mind a little and document the time and document what my daughter had been doing. Once my little guy came home i kept scrapping so that we can have a beautiful artwork to remind them of their experiences. The good the bad and the struggle to do their projects or to share their creative minds and be able to show them the times of their childhood and make it so they can see it and read it and for their children to be able to see and all know the story. it is the details adn the smiles that keeps me scrapping. I love when we look at the pages and the kids would read about their story. They love to say who is that and then when they read their faces light up when they say that is me. I did that or look at me.

When I was little I always wanted to scan the old pictures so I would know who they were and the story of them but now I am all about taking those photos and have my mom tell me their story so that when she passes away my kids and their kids and all of our future family will be able to know where we came from and what our family did and lived heritage is important so we see what triumphs and challenges our family went through and how it helped make them who they were.
