I love that I can get things documented in scrapbooks and when I look back at them later there is something that triggers a memory and feeling that I have forgotten. That's the best feeling!

My favorite thing about memory keeping is the existence of digital cameras. I would be broke trying to get great shots of 3 young children on film! I love capturing an emotional shot that goes with what I want to say.

sorry - me again - didn't realize we were supposed to answer a question! my favorite thing about memory keeping is reliving the memories every time I flip thru a book....and all the fab people I've met with this hobby.....um....lifestyle........

My favorite thing about memory keeping is knowing I'm creating the memories to begin with. Knowing I have wonderful family & friends, and knowing that these are times I want to treasure. :)

My favorite thing is leaving my story so my kids have a true sense of life and the experiences of a woman and mother; I want to share the good and the bad. I also want them to know that they are loved and treasured and to be able to look back on our albums and recall their childhoods.

I love the process of creating, being in the moment when scrapbooking. What I love even better is sharing that process with others and allow them the opportunity to try it too.

My favorite thing...
Is that's okay to go through 'seasons' in scrapping just like life. So if I'm not getting as much 'done' that's ok...it's supposed to be fun not a 'have to' kind of thing! :)

My favorite thing is recording memories. After losing my dad 2 years ago and my 29 year old niece last month I am seeing how important it is to have the memories recorded through photos and journaling.

I am working on a Travel Journal that I am obsessed with! Even though I started it a little late (we've been married 15 years) I made a new travel journal starting with our Honeymoon. I decided to use ONLY WORDS to tell about each trip we've taken. I am loving going back and remembering all the fun places! My advice to anyone--Start NOw!

My favorite thing about memory keeping at this very moment is letting the pictures tell the story. To capture an image that leaves no room for words that I can decorate and scrap to help remind me of the memory is exactly what I love!

Hi Alie,
Love you site. I am inspired daily! Thank you

My favourite part of memory keeping is being able to glimpse at the past & the present & use that as a spring board for the future.

My favorite thing about memory keeping right now is that I have allowed myself the freedom to not be chronological anymore. I love pulling out my favorite pictures and combining them in ways so that we can remember the moment or the face instead of telling myself to "wait" to scrapbook it when I get to it in the time line.

My favorite thing about memory keeping is reliving the memories when I am making the pages. Time flies by so fast and getting to go back to those happy times again makes it all worthwhile.

I also forgot to answer the question...
My favorite thing abut memory keeping is having everything in a safe place in with a bit of creative outlet.

My favorite thing is that I can start and stop... without feeling guilty. While I'm not currently scrapbooking pictures right now, I am writing in my journal and taking pictures. Then, when I decide to sit down and scrapbook, I have ideas and material already there.

Sweet giveaway! I have been wanting to try a Studio Calico kit. My favorite thing about memory keeping is looking at our scrapbooks with my boys. They love looking back at old pictures and we have so much fun laughing and reminiscing.

Right now I am really into creating minis of my 3 yo for long distance relatives so they don't miss naything of his life. I know they really love it and i love doing it for them.

Growing up, pictures usually wound up in a big box somewhere with no information about the photo...or the people in the photo. Doing the memory keeping gives me an appreciation of the memory and gives life to the stories.

Knowing that whatever adoptive issues my kids may or may not go through in the future they will always have docmentation of the love we have for them and the miracle that they are to have been placed in our lives. I am so blessed and they are my true blessings I want that to be the number one thing reflected in my albums. smiles, Amy

Right now I am in the process of gathering old photos to make albums for each of my siblings and my mom. So my favorite thing right now is going through old photos and laughing and sometimes crying. Seeing pictures of the 80's wall bangs, clothes that my parents wore in the 70's and pictures from two week road trips that we would take out west every summer. It's great.

Hi Ali!
My favorite part is looking back at older scrapbooks and realizing how many memories would have been lost had I not documented them! I love to say "don't you remember..." and if someone says "No", just pull out the scrapbook - then I hear "Ohhhhhh yeah! Now I remember!" LOVE IT!!
