YOUR CREATIONS PRESERVE
This history is one of my VERY FAVES!
It is a preservation of everything you've ever made.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? You query...
Do you craft, sew, sculpt, paint, draw, build, photograph, needlework,decorate...
DO YOU CREATE in any way, shape of form?
I'll bet you do!
Have you ever thought of documenting the items that you've created by photographing them?
Do you have something to show for all the time, effort and talent that you've put into all those projects...all those many gifts you've made and given away all these years?
What you've created is in part a history of you. You are in each one of those creations and taking a quick picture of each item you create (even photography) and preserving it in a collection (either physically, or digitally) is a REALLY IMPORTANT THING TO DO!
Here are samples of things I've created that I've recorded by photo.
Seriously, looking through this history brings back so many memories about the people they were created for, and the times I lived in during their creation. Fun Stuff!
The left picture is of items I've created...
The right picture has samples of photography I've taken.
Your new blog is very timely for me! Not working now and reveling in the time I have to think of things like Family History, Genealogy, Home Movies, and maybe actually putting pictures in my empty photo frames :)
ReplyDeleteI like this thought about preserving our creations. I've been surprised to find that my favourite at work accomplishment doesn't have anything to do with spreadsheets or management systems I created but instead I love remembering the Christmas Party invitations I made every year for five years! Lol. So, I think I'm going to make a portfolio of invitations and ward bulletins.
I also like your no nonsense, clean lined approach.
I love Drew's face, that's the reason for the "funny" reaction. But the blog is very helpful. I have bought a binder and page protectors this week. I have a box of invitations, movie tickets etc. that I am excited to put together. Thanks for the great ideas!
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. Barnett! It's Nikki :) Just stumbled upon this from Hilary's blog and thought I would check it out. I really love these ideas. I too am a hopeless scrapbooker- I've documented everything from high school, college, engagement, wedding, pregnancy, birth of my first son, his first year, and now starting on our home book. I hope that someday my son will appreciate all the work it has taken. I look forward to many more projects :)
