Why I Scrapbook…

Let’s be real—my three girls aren’t getting a yacht when I go. At best, they’ll get a box of glittery paper, a random flash drive labeled “important!!” that contains exactly one photo and 47 fonts, and enough scrapbook albums to fill a small library.

What they will have, however, is a story. OUR story.

They’ll know how fiercely I loved them.
They’ll remember the way Grandma’s house smelled like baby powder.
And, they’ll be able to look back at baby photos, awkward phases, big wins, and silly moments—and hear my voice in the journaling.

That’s why I scrapbook.

Not to stay caught up. Not to be fancy. But to leave behind something they’ll actually want to keep.

If I can give my girls laughter, perspective, and a glimpse into who I was—and who they were to me—then that’s worth more than any trust fund, in my opinion.

💬 What About You?

Why do YOU scrapbook?

For me, scrapbooking gives me a way to process life in real time.

When things feel messy or overwhelming, I can sit down with a photo, add some paper and a little journaling—and suddenly it feels like something good can come out of the chaos.

Turns out, paper, scissors, and stories are surprisingly good therapy.
(Also cheaper than actual therapy… unless you’re shopping during a new catalog launch. Then all bets are off!)

💛 The Legacy I’m Building…

I don’t scrapbook because I have an abundance of time—
I scrapbook because I want my people to know who they were, and how much they mattered.

While I can’t promise my girls a six-figure inheritance, I can promise a few 12×12 albums bursting with feelings, fonts, and stories that prove they were always my greatest adventure.
