The Motivation Behind My Scrapbooking Journey

Confession: Scrap booking is intimidating to me.  I am not really naturally creative.  Following directions...that's me! So putting pictures together with words and ribbons and bows and....I'm getting tired thinking about it.

But I had some things I felt compelled to do through scrap booking.  I really want to put together the pictures when I visit my in-laws each year, because we don't get to see them as often as we'd like. I believe that my mother in law will appreciate the pictures this way, she'd look at them often.

Also, I feel the need to document what we're doing in our family. We are the first to ever, or at least in a long time, to attempt home schooling, gardening, Islam and working a business as a family; what I call a deeply conscious life. Having reason to do or not do everything. Nothing is done without thought.

I guess scrap booking will be like this blog for me. I'm doing it for myself, but others can see it and enjoy it if they like.

It feels necessary.
