CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#48)CAPTURING MEMORIES

Happy Monday!

With Summer Season in full swing I thought I would share a few ideas on how you can capture your memories with more than just photos.

Whether you are going away on a vacation or having a stay-cation, you can keep these tips in mind to help you remember those moments, scrapbook them & document them.
1- Get a recyclable bag or plastic shoebox to hold all your paper memorabilia from your trips and/or adventures whether they are local or far.
2- Keep receipts, ticket stubs, maps & guidebooks from your tours, activities or destinations.
3- Buy postcards of your destinations, jot down the date & a quick note of how you were feeling, what you did & other details you will want to remember.
4- Grab menus and/or business cards of the places you have been. Circle what you ate and just jot down the who, what where & when of it all right on the back of the card or menu.
5- Keep a notepad with you at all times or within arm's reach so you can write comments, observations & anything you deem story worthy along the way. This way you can do so when the story is fresh in your mind.

Hope this ignites a few ideas of your own to help you preserve your precious memories.

Have a great week!

  1. Hi Sonia,
    Great ideas for documenting your memories!! I hope all is well by you and that you are having a great summer.
    I was busy this summer working part-time with my sewing instructor teaching kids how to sew.
    E is having surgery on his arm tomorrow for a torn bicep/labrum.
    All my best,

  2. This is such a great tip! It is the only way I remember everything that happens on our vacations 1-2 years later. I use my notebook when I am scrapping my vacation! Thanks for sharing this idea!
