Telling our Story

Where are your photos?

Ten years ago, mine were in plastic tubs and shoe boxes.

My daugter and I went away for three days to sort and file them.

Then I started to make scrapbooks!

When I started to make books, I was in search of a hobby. 

A "me time" thing.

And I desperately wanted to get all of our photos sorted and in a safe place. 

What I discovered through this activity was a passion for

story telling.

A passion for the history that ties generations of a family together

or the lives of good friends together.

A passion to discover what is unique about my story

and live it and record it.

In case you think I'm finished with our story, don't worry

I still have plenty of photos that aren't in books stored here:

and here:

Blogging is another great way to tell our story!

I fell in love with blogging thanks to a good friend

who records the story of her life

with her (almost) one year old munchkin as she blogs. 

I feel like I journey through the pages of a scrapbook

as I read her blog.

You can visit her here.

It's not the HOW that matters! I've discovered so many great blogs, seen photo albums

and digital books...even watched home movies!

What I think is so important is telling our story.

How are you telling yours?
