One thing these last 18 months taught me is that memories matter! Making memories, cherishing every memory, and make an effort to plan new ones. Seeing every moment as a page from a scrapbook!
Scrapbooking has always been my hobby. It's a way to savor events in my life and that of my family. It started when my own kids were young. It was fun making a scrapbook for each of them through their school years and sports years. I quickly progressed to "doing" a scrapbook a year - the year's activities (other than school and sports!) every holiday, trips to the zoo, family get-togethers. As the kids got older and my husband and I started to go on vacations more, I added another "themed" scrapbook - vacations. That brought me up to about 3 books a year. Life happened, work happened and I put those memories on hold for years.
Life has changed so much over the last 10 years! I now have 3 grandsons - that's 3 more scrapbooks a year! I never thought I would get them all done until 2020! While being quarantined had its limitations, I used the extra time to focus on the memories and worked on the books. I finished several the past 18 months and it renewed my energy and passion.
With that said, I am incorporating my Scrapbook business into Seasons of the Home. I've been a Creative Memories consultant for a number of years, admittedly I was mostly my own customer lol! Stay tuned as I grow that business. I started a Facebook Page for beginners and the most seasoned scrapper.
