Little events and happenings...

Hello friends! 

 Welcome to my blog. Here you get a glimpse into my life by the stories the photos tell that I scrapbook and journal about. My life is marked by little events and happenings, by beautiful serendipitous moments. I have always had a fascination with photos. As a little girl I would stand and stare at the photos in my grandmother's photo gallery in her house.

 I remember one photo in particular, it is of her grandmother. This beautiful regal young woman adorned in her Victorian dress sits on a picnic blanket, holding a little baby, my great grandmother. I remember the young woman's eyes, they had a piercing quality. Today, that photo still hangs in my grandmother's house, but the face of the striking young woman has all but faded away. All that is left is a ghostly figure, a stiff Victorian dress holding a faceless baby. Her face is gone, her identity has faded away, all that is left of her is her story. That got me thinking.  What part of me will fade away? 

I started memory keeping when I was in primary school. It started with a very basic diary, with every entry starting with the very original ' Dear Diary' ( face palm). And so, very slowly I started documenting the little events and happenings. The small basic diary turned into bigger diaries which in turn became books and books of ramblings, ideas, happy moments, sad moments, boyfriends, friends, x-boyfriends, x-friends. It grew and grew, until the day I started dating my husband. I gave him all my books and he read through all of my ramblings. I figured that if he had to get to know me, what better way to help him along than my books? 

 So here we are, almost 11 years later. I wanted to document our life together, but I wanted something more visual. I had dabbled in scrapbooking in my early twenties, but being a student, I couldn't support the hobby. So when our first child was born I began documenting his little events and happenings with scrapbooking. If you have ever struggled to get into scrapbooking have a baby and then it will be very easy to scrapbook! The cutesy papers and adorable embellishments will have you hooked in no time. So, welcome to my blog, here you will get a glimpse into my life by the stories the photos tell that I scrapbook and journal about! Enjoy!!
