Why I Scrapbook

The picture says it all.

I need to remind myself these days why I do what I do, record memories – preserve them creatively. The memories might be for the kids but the creative outlet and release is all mine. I haven’t had a scrapbook page in almost two months, and that’s the longest time I ever had gone without a page since 2005. I am slowly trying to ease my way back into it, going over my albums, looking at them with new eyes – to find out what works for ME (my creative outlet) and what is important for my family to know vs. what I want them to remember. I maybe complicating things, but since I’ve been doing this for years, it’s time for an upgrade/evaluation :P.

P.S: I am now on the month of September for my Instagram 2011 album. I love how it is going to be my year in review – with all those pictures and trail cameras!

Aggie Aviso describes herself as her family’s storyteller and memory keeper. A mom to two kids ages 14 and 8, she is certainly past the age of sleepless nights and adorable pigtails. However, motherhood stays exciting, more meaningful and yes, more challenging. She takes it all in stride, knowing fully well that moments pass by in a blink of an eye. As Gretchen Rubin famously said, “The days are long, but the years are short.” She has discovered how wonderful it is to have those fleeting moments in time documented in their family books and has made it her personal mission and passion to be able to tell their stories for her future grandkids.
