Journaler

Do you keep a journal? Why?

I used to be a journaler. I would write every day without fail all the details of my life. Ya….that lasted about 3 years and then I went to college. There was not much time for a journal anymore. So I decided to start doing something else…well more like continue on with something I have always done. Ever since I was little I was a pack rat. I would keep anything and everything! A few years ago I decided to start scrapbooking all of the stuff I had been keeping. I have four books full of all of the stuff I have kept over the years. Here are some of the things that make it into my scrapbook. Movie tickets, pictures, cards, concert tickets, brochures, stickers, wrist bands, notes, fortunes, name tags, business cards, wrappers, appointment reminder cards, tags, handouts, flyers, etc. I really love doing this because it is definitely more fun to look back on these books than it is to read about it. It is a visual journal (: I hope that I continue to do this throughout my life because it will be exciting to share with my future family and friends.
