A Gentle Memory Keeping Reminder

I've been listening to episode 11 of Paperclipping Roundtable this morning and I was very inspired to say this again. Whatever you are doing is good enough

    I have always said this. If you try to copy someone else all of the time, you will lose yourself; and your pages won't seems as authentic!

    Thank you! I needed to hear that, too. It's easy to get overwhelmed by everything that we're NOT doing, that we HAVEN'T gotten to, I totally need to print this up and put it on my bathroom mirror so that I remember it every single day.

    Ali,
    This sums it up...It is why I read your blog. Thanks for consistently reminding us of the "obvious" in meaningful ways. I'd be a former scrapbooker mired in what "should be" if I hadn't taken a class from you and heard this truth. It does wonders for my sense of success and accomplishment. Thank you.

    Definately good enough.
    Want proof? Take an album somewhere -- to the office, to a family reunion, to a party. . .I find my family & friends are so amazed by this "hobby" of mine.
    Scrapbooking enriches lives.

    So true.
    I think I have it under control at the moment.
    Oh, if the file size of that image of yours was any bigger, I would have printed and framed it for those moment when I tend to forget... ;)
    Thanks for the reminder!

    Everytime I need scrapbooking therapy, I read through, "Life artist." Thanks for keeping us grounded.

    Thank you for the reminder. Too many times we get caught up in the page looking "perfect". Paper, photos and words is all we really need!

    Sometimes it's hard to think that when I see some of the wonderful layouts done by other people, but I have fun doing what I do and it's relaxing, so what I do is good enough, even if I do occasionally beat myself up over the layouts I've done. :)

    I so agree! I've had a hard time in the past with comparing myself to all those beautiful layouts in magazines. They are my memories and I'm going to document them the way I want to!!
