One of my goals this year is to be a better blogger – post a few times a week, find a focus for my blog and overhaul the look of the whole site.

A focus…memories, capturing them with words and pictures. Remembering past ones.

Memory Monday. I love this idea! I first saw Katie The Scrapbook Lady doing this. Digging up old memories, making a page and journaling. Remembering what you can. Over Christmas my mom gave me several albums of pictures for me to scan and share with my family. I can’t wait to dig in and see what I find!

I used a 4×6 photo album. On the left side I designed a journaling block and used some cute, aged Christmas paper. I left the right side blank, easy to slip in a 4×6 photo. What a great place to keep those treasured Christmas moments from one year or many years, of your children’s lives or from your own special memories growing up.

Loved it when I was little and still love to watch it with my 5-year-old.

My favorite Muppet is Kermit. Who is your favorite?
