Where You’ve Lived Layout
Nov 16
It seems like in this day and age, the average family moves a lot. In fact, I am about to have my third child, and all three kids will have been born in three different states. Gone are the days (for most people anyway) where you live in one home for 30 years and your kids never have to change neighborhoods, or friends. It can be depressing when yo...

Scrapbook Yourself
Nov 14
When was the last time you did a scrapbook layout about yourself? Whenever I look through the pages of my scrapbook albums, I find plenty of scrapbook layouts of my kids, or other family members. Sometimes, I even find one of myself with another person, like one of my children. But, when I look through the pages of my scrapbooks, I don't find many ...

Through A Child’s Eyes
Nov 10
When a parent passes away, often times this is the first experience that your child might have with death. Most people lose a grandparent first before any other type of family member. I know that my first experience with losing someone I loved was when my grandfather passed away. I was young, and didn't quite understand it. Subsequently, I have los...

Make Your Holidays About Heritage
Nov 8
The holidays are fast approaching and before we know it, we will be sitting around the tables or living rooms of those we love. Perhaps we will fall asleep on the couch in front of a football game after a nice feast of turkey and mashed potatoes, or maybe a game of flag football is in order. Perhaps, our children will be off in another room playing...

30 days of Thankful Layout
Nov 4
A current trend I see going on right now on facebook and other media is to say something you are grateful for each day in the month of November. What a great way to remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Although the food is great, I love Thanksgiving as a time to reflect on all the blessings we do have. And, right now in this economy, sometime...

Life Lessons
Nov 2
When someone passes away, it is easy to think about all the things that person taught you. Especially a parent or a grandparent. But, all kinds of people influence us in our lives. It doesn't have to be a parent that we pay tribute to, but anyone that is a great teacher, and influenced our lives in a way that will change us forever. Adding a lay...

A Layout About Your Locks
Oct 27
Did your Mom ever save a lock of your hair? My Mom did. In fact, in my childhood photo album, I have more than just a lock. My Mom saved a huge chunk of my hair from my first real haircut. When I look at it, I think it's kind of silly, but the part of me that is a mother totally understands wanting to save that soft, fine baby hair and keep it!! ...

Trick or Treat Layout
Oct 25
Have you ever wondered if your parents went trick or treating? Do you have pictures of them in their costumes as children? I know I don't, but I would love to see some pictures of my parents dressed up in their favorite costume. It is said that trick or treating started in North America around the 1950's, but did you know that in some other countri...
