documenting life, preserving memories

You ever notice that sometimes we get so concerned with scrapbooking the "big events" in our lives that we sometimes forget the little stuff? You know, you make sure to get all the major holidays scrapped, birthday, etc. But then what about all the little stuff in between that actually mold more of our lives than the "big" stuff?

I've noticed that there seems to be 3 kinds of scrappers, ones that scrap mostly major events/holidays, those that scrap mostly the little stuff, and then the ones in between. And that last one is where I seem to fall most of the time, leaning more towards the little stuff than major events. That's what I love about this hobby ~ preserving memories. All of the memories big and small.

Because when I look back on stuff, I remember little things like when my son at almost 3 yrs old would recite the line from "The Grinch" ~ you're the....the, the, the, THE GRINCH! Of course, he couldn't say it right so it sounded even cuter! Or when my daughter at 2 yrs old said, as we were passing the cows that lived near our house, "tow feepy? take a nap? need a poo-ah?" (translation ~ cow sleepy? take a nap? need a pillow?)

Fun times. Good memories. So when you're scrapping all your holiday events, don't forget to scrap the "little" stuff, too!
