Ok, ladies…fess up!! When was the last time you did a layout about yourself?? I know this is something not alot of people like to do (myself included) but its probably one of the most important things you can do!! Do any of you like to sit back and look through old photos of your parents or grandparents?? Would you like your children to do the same thing?? I think it’s such a fun thing to scrap about myself at this point in my life because my kids won’t remember me "now" when they are old and have children of their own…When I scrapbook layouts about myself and my life as it is "right now" I’m preserving a part of myself that I can share with my children as they get older. I have also found that it can be very theraputic as well…It seems that the layouts I do about myself are the one’s I’m the most emotionally attached to. So, with that, I pose a challenge to all of you to get in front of the camera and not just be behind it….Take your own picture in the mirror or at arms length or with a timer…be silly, be artsy, be emotional, be thoughtful, just try it….You might find you enjoy it!! Don’t forget to include your own handwriting if possible and your age and year….Now hop to it!!
