My Family<\/strong> (pages 26 & 27) <\/span><\/p>\n

**This is a double page layout**<\/div>\n

\u00a0You must include journaling and at least one photograph on each page, although the more you include the better.
\n<\/em>
\nThis week we look at our Family that we have now.<\/span><\/p>\n

This could be your immediate family, your extended family or your surrogate family.<\/p>\n

Instructions
\n<\/strong>Write a short sentence\/paragraph (or a long one) about each person in your family and what they mean to and bring to your family.
\nIf you belong to an extended family don\u2019t forget to include everyone, or at least a group photograph.
\nThis is your family now, not your family when you were growing up.
\nIf you are part of a blended family don\u2019t forget to discuss this aspect of life and how it shapes your family (you may choose to use hidden journaling for this one).
\nIf you don\u2019t have a photograph of someone try not to exclude them, simply write about them anyway.
\nIf you only want to include the family that live under the same roof as you, that is fine too.
\nIf you don\u2019t have a family photograph this is another good opportunity to take one, and don\u2019t forget to use the camera self-timer so that your are in the picture too.<\/p>\n

Journaling Help<\/strong>
\nA lot of you have been asking how to write your journaling. The best advice I can give is to write about the page what you would tell someone about the theme, question or photographs. Sometimes I imagine what I would say about the page to someone and then that discussion\/dialogue becomes my journaling. (It\u2019s a good idea to do this in your head or on your own \u2013 we don\u2019t want people thinking we\u2019re going mad!)<\/p>\n

Tips and Hints for completing your book:
\n<\/strong>* Keep collecting\/copying every photograph with you in it
\n* Don\u2019t have any or many photographs of yourself\u2026.Take some! Take lots!
\n* Get a notebook or cheap exercise book and write down anything about yourself as it comes to you
\n* Use stuff you love (scrapbooking supplies)
\n* This is a good opportunity to use up your stash
\n* You could use your favourite colour scheme
\n* Try something different on every page
\n* Experiment on every page
\n* Use your own handwriting
\n* Scraplift if all if you want
\n* Be honest
\n* Use your own style of scrapbooking or try something a bit different
\n* Do the pages as simple or as elaborate as you choose
\n* Use hidden journaling to conceal sensitive or personal information<\/p>\n

REMEMBER: This is your book about yourself and that means you get to do it how you want!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
