Many of us possess photo albums that are of the highest value to us and which allows us to walk again down paths long since traversed with just the flip of a page. Dipping in and out of memories as though it all happened only yesterday – until we realise abruptly that our treasured memories are, in fact, from years ago, and we no longer remember where that snap shot was taken, or what year is encapsulated there in paper form. The best way to rekindle those special memories is to log all your photographs, each one, in a scrapbook, though it might be easy and quick to write a brief note upon the back of our photographs.

Scrapbooks present a wonderful way of raising the storage of photographs and other memorabilia to a more personal level. There is little doubt that retaining keepsakes from important events or occasions is the ideal way to recapture the essence of a particular moment once it has passed us by in time, but it is only in using a scrapbook that the story really comes to life. It is in old shoeboxes that our special memories often wither in, clumped together into confused bundles, where their special meaning fades. We can suffuse life into our memories once more and bequeath the joy we once shared to a whole new generation by gathering them all into a scrapbook.

A scrapbook does not differ much from our own storybook, storing particular items that capture the meaning behind the memories. The straw you kept from your very first date with the man you’ve now been married to for over twenty years, that’s a precious memory, but think how the memory of that date comes alive when you scrapbook that straw with a photograph of the new couple, and include your thoughts from that special night. How much more meaningful will this memento be to your children and your children’s children when they receive it as a part of the whole story of your love? A small plastic tube of no special significance and found at the bottom of an old box is now a living memory, conveying a lot more than you ever thought it could.

A scrapbook can be used to store your memories in the most precious and personal way. Don’t keep your life to yourself; share it with a scrapbook, and relive your memories through the eyes of others.
