Journaling
is very important – tell your story and share your thoughts.
Hand
journal (or type). People often ask
which is best. While typed journaling looks nicer, think about how special it
will be for future generations to look at written items in your own handwriting!
Journaling
should be who, what, why, or when.
Dates
are important but it’s ok to generalize.
Words like Fall 2005 or simply,
September 2005, with no specific date,
are better than not recording a date at all.
NEVER,
EVER use ball point pens on the back of pictures.
If
it’s important to you, it belongs in your scrapbook. When making my son’s first scrapbook when he entered the
Marines, I included little personal notes tucked into small envelopes on the
page. It conveyed my feelings at
the time about his life and what he was doing.
Do
the journaling by hand or computer and then cut out. Don’t journal
directly on a sheet of paper – it is too difficult to fill area correctly and
you may have to re-create your page around your journaling.
- The
mere sense of living is joy enough.

Emily
Dickinson
