The great vacations, holiday celebrations and many firsts in life (tooth, firsy day of school, car, accident, graduation, wedding, baby, etc.) tend to get the most attention, with photos and pages of memories in our scrapbooks. But what about the simple, everyday events and memories that are important to you? Scrapbooks should preserve memories, but they should also tell a story; the story about you and your family.

I’ve been thinking about this while I watched my hometown team, the Boston Red Sox, win the World Series. It was a great event to watch and, I will admit, an emotional event as well. But while I was watching all of this, I got to thinking. Why did I care so much? How did my love for baseball and the Sox develop? While I think it all starts with my dad and his general love of sports, I do have specific memories that center around baseball. I remember going to my first Sox game when I was in grade school; my prize for winning a coloring contest at the

local grocery store. I remember my dad and I playing baseball in the backyard, just the two of us (until my brother was old enough to join in), with ‘ghost runners’ on the bases. And even the time we broke the kitchen window! I remember a visit to Fenway Park during high school, when I was actually able to go down on the field with a tour given by one of the players. I remember my grandmother always watching the Red Sox games on television. I’ve been working on writing about these and other memories and plan to put it all together in some scrapbook pages which will, of course, conclude with the stories about how I watched the games and where I was when history, 86 years in the making, was written. The funny thing is, I don’t really have a single picture to document these stories. Sure, I can get a couple of World Series downloads from the internet, but other than that, all I have is a bunch of words. But that’s ok. While pictures are great and do tell a big part of the story, the most important thing is the story. Putting those words down on paper where they can be read and reread in the future.

Using the great resources we have at Lettering Delights can make this process easier. We’ve got everything you need to make a page of words turn into a fun and interesting story to read. I’ll keep you posted on how my project is going, and will be sure to show you the finished product. Until then, remember that if it is important to you, make sure you include it in the story of your life, because someday it will be important to someone else also.

Personal Trainer
Creating scrapbook pages 12 inches by 12 inches is a very popular trend. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to print 12 x 12 pages from your computer? It does require a printer that supports this paper size. If you have this type of printer, the LD Supreme does have the ability to print in this paper layout.
