I've asked many individuals why they spend more time running
errands, working out at the gym & browsing social media than they do
scrapbooking & documenting life's most important events. What it comes down to is what matters
most. When you reach the end of your
life would you rather have pictures and journals of some of your greatest
memories, or a wrinkly body that once avidly visited the gym. For me I would rather have scrapbooks to
enjoy and share with my kids and grandkids.
Probably one of the main reasons individuals give me for not
scrapbooking is TIME. Days can go by so
quickly that you often find yourself wondering what happened to the time. I just discovered an amazing product that has
helped me find TIME to scrapbook even amongst all the crazy busy things that
happen on a daily basis. It's called WE
R Memory Keepers!! It is seriously one of the greatest lines of scrapbooking
supplies out there.
The main reason their scrapbooking line was invented was for
crazy moms like me. Their products are
designed to make it easy to scrapbook in the few extra minutes that you have
each day. When I discovered their line
of products I decided to put it to the test and see if it really helped me to
get my scrapbooking done.
When
Steele was born I purchased the We R Memory Keepers photo sheets which come
with picture separations already in them from http://www.craftdirect.com/we-r-memory-keepers.html. I purchased their line of journaling cards
which are designed to fit perfectly into the page protectors without any
cutting or gluing. I then got to work
trying the best I could to document his first year of life.
The
journaling cards made it easy to write down experiences as they happened. I left a pile of them in my night stand. At the end of the day I would take a few
minutes to write down either something that happened that day, my feelings
about being a mom, or even something exciting he learned. He just barely turned one and as I pulled out
my pile of written journaling cards I was so shocked to see how many I had
actually done. Not only did I have a lot
of cards that were written on, but I also found a lot of information on them
that I had totally forgotten about.
Just
recently I began putting his 1st year of life book together. I love how easy We R Memory Keepers makes it
to scrapbook. All their products are
designed to slip into the page protectors easily and flawlessly. If I would've discovered this line years ago
I maybe would have scrapbooked more in my earlier years of life.
If you
spend your life focusing on things that are not as important you will regret it
later down the road. Take the time today
to scrapbook pictures of your children, write down memories as they happen
& take lots of pictures. This will
help you to remember the good times you had throughout your life.
