S/O Do you go back and look at the pages/albums you've made?

I scrapbook for the creative outlet and for memory-keeping. I mostly scrap events;weddings, holidays, vacations etc. I'd say my family and/or friends and I look through my albums a few times a year.

One of our traditions is to look through all my DD albums every year when we gather for Christmas. It's fun to look back and see how we've all changed, the different things we've done etc.

I do, seeing the pictures and remembering the details are part of the fun of scrapbooking for me.

I do - sometimes to look for a specific photo or story and sometimes just because. My family looks through them also.

I do. And it's not always for memories. It's to remind myself of just how far we've come with the kids, especially ds. Sometimes I need to be reminded of the battles won...it gives me the strength to fight the new ones.

I look through all my scrapbooks, several times a year.

Reminiscing and memories.
Sometimes by myself, sometimes with someone else.
Sometimes it's just random, sometimes friends or a Family member will get talking about something, the good old days, remember when?, etc... and I will pull out one or two scrapbooks looking for the photos/layouts pertaining to whatever we were talking about.

Therapy.
Sometimes, especially as I've aged, I feel like life is passing me by and that I haven't done much, but when I start looking through my scrapbooks, and looking through my journal at my bucket list and what's been checked off..... it makes me feel better, because it reminds me that I have done a lot (more than some, less than others).

I am thankful and grateful, that I have my scrapbooks and journal to look through. Especially because sometimes memories fade or get pushed to the background. My scrapbooks help me remember things I forgotten about. 

When the dgk's come they often enjoy going through my scrapbooks. I love seeing/hearing them looking through the pages and sharing memories.

As each dgk has graduated from high school so far, I have gone through all the albums with pages about the grad, made copies of those pages, and gave them a scrapbook of the copies as their grad gift. Finding those pages and putting those books together is a big job, but I really enjoy sifting through those stories. Two years ago a couple of the girls helped me extract and label pages for their sister and cousin, and they made the job fun. the recipients appreciate those books, too. The tradition started when my oldest dgs requested a scrapbook as his grad gift. Last month my 16 year old dgd was already telling her friends about how she would get HER book in a couple of years.

Most of the time my albums live on their shelves until I need to check back about a date or other detail. Sometimes something one of the younger dgk's does reminds me of an older sibling or cousin's stories and I go back and check. Sometimes I just need to smile at the memories.

My husband likes to grab them from time to time to look at, so we look together.

I scrapbook our trips, and am (still) working my way through the ticket scrapbooks.

Occasionally. Either for inspiration or if I’m looking for something.

What a gift that you have those, that you were able to share them with others at the visitation, and that you are sharing this with us today.  Thinking about you and praying for you.

I look at mine too. Once in a while the kids will look too. Just for the fun of it. I'm really glad I made them, too.

Yes I enjoy looking through my albums for most of the same reasons others have mentioned.

I love looking back at the vacations we took & places we've been as well as just everyday moments. My son is the focus of a lot of my pages but as he has grown (he's almost 20) I've focused on myself and DH more for my pages & I enjoy looking at those as well. My son & DH also like to look at my books so I'm glad I've stuck with this hobby!

Not often. Scrapbooking has become more of a hobby to play with paper. Sometimes it's hard to look at certain years. I have to be in a good place to scrapbook or even look at albums.

I look thru my albums. A lot of times it will be sparked from a conversation w/ my SO about something we did, somewhere we went and trying to remember dates, people, etc. Scrapbooking actually helps me remember things more vividly because I can usually recall things based on the photo I scrapped and knowing what album it's in.

truth be told, i'm in it for the creative outlet and not so much the walk down memory lane.
