I encourage you…

…to start an album.

It can be organized, eclectic, year specific, WHATEVER you want.

It can be filled with your family, your plants, your animals, or random pictures that make you happy.

My mom had tons of them. Organized and neat. I loved going through them growing up.

I always wanted to start one, but never got around to it.

Halfway through this year I bought a Polaroid and Fujifilm Instax. I take a few pictures randomly and haphazardly stick them in this album.

It has wrinkly pages (I don’t have patience to get them flat) and there is very little rhyme or reason to how they are placed, but I love looking back at the pictures.

The back of the album contains pictures of my grandma and grandpa, my mom, and my dad - as well as pictures of when they got married.

Pictures of me as a baby, toddler, and child.

Childhood pictures of me with my parents.

My dad has passed away - this album has put all of my pictures in one place and I can flip through them when I miss him 🖤.

I will continue filling it and start another one when it’s done.

Eventually I will print pictures I have on my phone and in the cloud to add.

Do you have an album or scrapbook?

... Read moreCreating a memorable photo album can be an enriching experience that allows you to reflect on precious moments. Start by selecting a theme for your album, whether it's family memories, special events, or just random snapshots that bring you joy. Don't be afraid to mix styles; a variety of formats can bring character to your scrapbook. Consider using a Polaroid or instant camera to capture spontaneous moments. If you're worried about perfection, remember that the beauty of these albums lies in their authenticity. Wrinkled pages and unconventional layouts can tell a unique story, making it all the more special. It's essential to continue adding to it over time; as you gather new memories, you'll create a keepsake that grows in value. Lastly, don't hesitate to get creative with decorations or labels to add an extra personal touch. Engaging with your scrapbook can trigger fond memories, ensuring you never forget the moments that matter most.
