Celebrate Me!

The core of a Book of Me scrapbook is the journaling.  It’s hard to tell your stories without words.  But that doesn’t mean that telling your stories has to be hard.  Journaling can be easy – just use lists.  You can quickly and easily create short albums about yourself based on themes – your dreams, your goals, your favorite things, childhood anecdotes.  Just jot down some quick lists and you’ve begun to tell your story – the story only you can tell.

Here are some quick ideas for list topics you can add to your Book of Me scrapbook:
