Random Memories<\/strong> (pages 20 & 21) <\/span><\/p>\n

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

This lesson is about recalling some of the memories that don’t necessarily fit under a particular category\/topic or there may not have been enough room for. This is a good opportunity to use tags for each story\/memory or simply write reams and reams if you want. Include all those little bits of information, pieces of time and flashes of emotion that we carry with us through life.<\/p>\n

I am going to include some memories that are very happy and some that really are hard to describe. Like the time that my Dad defied nature and saved my life, even though he didn’t know how he did it and time just seemed to stand still. Another is when we got the car bogged in a storm going to the farm and how we managed to get out as a family working together. Then there was the time that I woke up outside the tent in the middle of winter when we were camping at the goldfields (I had rolled out sleeping bag and all). The memory of the first time my son fell off his motorbike and how fast I ran to his aid (whilst taking a photograph at the same time, and it isn’t too blurry afterall).<\/p>\n

Document your own memories from childhood, adulthood and parenthood that have left their mark on you.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to include a photograph (with a date) on each page. They don’t have to be anything to do with the memories documented either.<\/p>\n

Tips and Hints for completing your book:<\/strong>
\n* 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><\/div>\n
