I shared this post on the My Mind’s Eye blog.  It’s in celebration of {Inter}National Scrapbook Day.  Be sure to visit the My Mind’s Eye blog and leave a comment on my post, Trisha and Anam’s posts to be entered to WIN the MME collection of your choice!

I scrap both to REMEMBER and be GRATEFUL for the little things.  The good, the bad, document what I’ve learned and look forward to the future.

1.  It’s my 10 second “pause before I speak”.  This layout is of my youngest son.  He decided that it would be fun to play in my acrylic paints and spread Hauser Green (great color) over the counter – and himself.  Instead of yelling, I thought about how I wanted to preserve this memory.  So, I ran and grabbed my camera.  He and I cleaned up the mess and all was well.

2. To be more involved.  It makes me stop sunbathing to take pictures like these:

3.  ENJOY the moments, count my blessings and remember when they happened!

My Little Valentine's Never Enough (Featured products: Love Me Do and So Sophie)

4. Express my feelings, hopes and desires for my loved ones.  Life is too short, you never know when you won’t be able to tell them how you feel.

5. So my loved ones will know who I am:

6. And, to remember things like this:

I hope I didn’t overload this post.
