Re PartsofMe's comment-these are my own conclusions
IF you scrap every moment:
1) Where the heck are you going to store them, ESPECIALLY if you have more than 1 kid?
2) WHO ON EARTH really wants 15,000 pics of themselves???
3) Is it BLESSING or BURDENING those you thought/think you were scrapping for? (My visual is a kid being sent "out of the coop" with a U-Haul full of scrapbooks OF THEMSELVES - not a pretty sight!!!)
4) Does anyone care besides you??? (sadly, I've realized that MOST OF THE TIME the answer is NO!!!)
I could go on, but hopefully this at least triggers a pause & reconsideration of the "scrap every moment" line of thought.
I now mostly scrapbook FOR ME the things that I want to remember, mostly that make me laugh, but that ALWAYS invoke an emotional response IN ME!
Got that memo from Kathy Zielske (sp?) about 5 years ago & it has made ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD! (& . . . I don't really care what they do with them when I'm gone, cuz they are FOR ME, RIGHT NOW!)
