It's ME!

Like most scrapbookers with gorgeous kids, scrapping photos of myself comes 2nd. I think it is not because our kids are cuter but it is more on our self criticism. My jaw is too big, my mouth is huge, I am too fat. I can go on forever with all the wrong things we can see in ourselves but we should all consider the reason why we are scrapbooking.

11x8.5 using Basic Grey Paper Cottage collection

Sometimes I think that I scrapbook to remind myself how amazing my daughter is, how each milestone is priceless, and how she grows up so fast. However, I need to remind myself, what if one day I am no longer here. My daughter would love to see and remember her mom's life not totally hers. She will love to see the memories with the imperfection of her mommy. She will treasure anything that will remind her of me. So, I should always consider to scrap my photos and my stories.


Thanks for viewing!

i think it is great that you also scrap about yourself sometimes. I should also do that more often. When we are old and grey and outr kids get kids of their own I am sure they would like to see what we were like right now. Great page also . Love the colors and composition

WOW LG this is so beautiful! I tried my hand at scrapbooking but was never good at it. So whenever I see anything like this I am totally jealous! Saan ka pala bumibili ng supplies mo dyan? When I was there for a visit I didn't see a lot of craft stores. But lately I've noticed that there are a lot of very, very talented scrapbookers from the Philippines. So I was wondering where they got their supplies. :)
