When I was an early teen my mom got into Geneology big time. Like she threw herself into it any extra moment she had, which probably wasn't a ton of time as she was still raising a few little ones. But still...I learned then the value of keeping some sort of history going.
My mother-in-law also got bit by the Geneology bug, but it was a few years after my mom. However, my mother-in-law had a bit more time and resources and really also dived in.
Most recently, my mother-in-law has been working on compiling life histories for her parents and grandmother as well as her and her husband. She writes the stories in the My Memories program and adds pictures and embellishments where she feels they are necessary. She then orders photo books for anyone who wants the history.
All that to say, I understand the importance of writing your own personal history. And yet, I'm one of those people who are at a loss at how to even get started. It's something I've also heard from various people throughout the years.
Well, one of the many, many designers in the scrapbook world has started a series to kind of help you along with telling your own story. She's written a blog post to get you started and has also created a collection to get started: My Story.
And here's a little looksie at the page I created for the start of this series:
