The title kind of says it all...are there any stories or memories you haven't scrapbooked yet? If you feel like sharing, what is holding you back?
I want to scrapbook more about my childhood but mostly my father. My biggest hold up is putting my thoughts together and deciding what stories I want to tell but mostly because it makes me sad.

Along the same vein I have two placeholders pages in my albums for both my grandfathers who died in the same week… one day I’ll get to them but for now, even though it’s ten years later, it’s still a little fresh…

I should probably scrap the photos of my time in college- it was one of the happiest times of my life.
I'm terrible about journaling and remembering stuff. I did put a lot of things on Facebook, however, and I'm always happy to read what I posted in the past when it comes up each day. I screenshot and printed out things my nephews said then, or I thought about them then. I keep meaning to scrap those but I keep forgetting. I'd like to pull out a photo of the child and the photo of the quote and scrap them together. I have enough to make a whole album.
This is a good reminder. I might start that project today.

my wedding... we had a small wedding-moon event in Hawaii, nothing matches color/theme wise. I don't have any Christmas photos from my childhood. I don't remember seeing any growing up, and if there were any, whoever has them isn't sharing The college years. I think I did one page. I have a few photos from that era so no excuse.

of course...so many stories, so many photos, so little time, lol. (and I say that as someone who has more crafty time than most). There are trips I haven't scrapped, I haven't done much of my childhood, memorial pages for way too many people...

Visiting my daddy's grave was a huge to-scrap for me & I finally got that done last year. I had a good college experience while it was happening but a big falling out with my college crew afterwards that has kept me from scrapping those years. The memories get fuzzier and fuzzier the longer I wait & it will require more work to do as all of the photos are pre-digital but it's probably worth coming up with a plan to scrap a few of the biggest events/highlights from those years before I forget completely.

I have several but mainly it is just taking the time to actually print the pictures and do it!!!
They feel like huge undertakings... I just recently got back into the scrapping world... like covid recently...lol
But I have several BIG vacations we have taken that have pictures to print plus real life ephemera, maps and bags and stuff to go thru... <sigh> a project for another day... lol

Just jot a few of the main stories you want to remember in a little note pad thing and stick it with your photos or wherever you will be able to find it... at least like the main peoples names and places.. just to keep be able to keep track if you do ever feel like getting around to it..
