ScrapaGoGo Blog Hop

Welcome, welcome
to ScrapaGoGo's
National Scrapbooking day Blog Hop.
Big Hi to all who have joined us from Rebekah's blog.

On a day like today-NSD
it makes me think why I scrapbook...
I love the creative outlet,
I like telling stories
but most of all I love the concept of future generations
getting to know me & my family
through the pages I make.

Who's that Girl ??

When I look at this photo
I know who the babies are.
My Dad & his twin sister.
But the Lady ??
I've no clue & there is nobody left to ask :(

I don't know all my ANCESTORS
but hopefully through scrapbooking
future generations of my family
will know theirs.

Please leave a comment about why you scrapbook
to be entered into a prize draw.
Time now to hop on over to Sarah's blog x

  1. Morning Sheena,
    Happy National Scrapbooking day! Hope you're getting the chance to be crafty today.
    We have photos like that - although I still have quite a big family on my grans side so there is usually someone who has an idea.
    loves Chloe

    Anyhoo, happy national scrapbooking day :)
    What a gorgeous photograph!
    I scrap as an outlet - but i love capturing memories and telling stories about my family - mostly my son :) :)
    and it's great just to get time to myself to play with colours and make a mess :) :) :)

  7. I love old photos! There is always a mystery to each one. My second favorite hobby, after scrapbooking, is genealogy. Enjoy the day!

  10. I scrapbook so my boys can look back at photos from their childhood and have some more information about what they did, whare they were and what we were doing - instead of boxes of slides which I have got - many of which don't even have dates on them.

  11. Happy Scrapbooking Day!

    I scrapbook as a form of art - I love being able to present my photos in such a fabulous way, and it lets me express my creative side :D

  14. I;m the same as you, scrapping to preserve memories for the family for the future. I know I could just add lots of notes to photo albums, but they wouldn't be as interesting to look at. I now our albums are looked at more often now they are scrapped rather than just boring plain pages with photos on.

  15. I love scrapbooking because I KEEP the results of my artistic efforts (as opposed to card-making), because it preserves memories and stories - not just for me, but for my children too.
