Slow down and savor everyday moments.

I read this on Stacy Julian's blog and thought it was worth sharing:

Time moves so very fast and most of the time we do too. But, we can choose (with practice) to slow down and to savor simple everyday moments. We can pull out our cameras and take pictures and we can live with these pictures and let them work magical things inside of us. Doing so will make us more grateful, more content, more aware and more happy. There is so much that is overwhelming and challenging in life. Efforts to capture and share your memories should be neither.

Enjoy your day.
Take pictures of things that make you happy!

Why I Scrapbook

Summer will give way to fall, fall will fade into winter, winter will blossom into spring and summer will start again. So is the dance of life.

I document precious moments and people by creating scrapbooks and photo albums.
I understand the importance of gathering and creating lasting and meaningful times and memories.
I know in my heart that all things change and not only do my books share the constant evolution, they honor what was and they give us hope in what will be. They are a reminder that for everthing, there is a season.

The art of scrpabooking reminds us to embrace each moment with the mindfulness, dignity and passion it so rightly deserves before it gently fades into what it is next meant to be.
