Book of Me
I saw Amanda's pages in the gallery and a few of you asking about it. (PAGE 1 and PAGE 2) so I thought I would go ahead and post since it was she who inspired me to do it.
 I hope that's ok Amanda! HERE is the site about the Book of Me project. There are two books now and if you scroll down you will see the links for Book 1 and Book 2 on the right hand column. I started this after seeing Amanda post at another site and I LOVE it! I find it sooooo inspiring and just really refreshing to scrap about myself and put my own feelings out there a bit ya know? I think as moms/wifes/women we tend to forget ourselves a lot, but remember...we are part of our kids lives and they woudl love to remember some of the things about us too! And we would like to remember too! <3 Here are a couple pages I have done for mine. Excuse the lack of pics! I don't have them yet! LOL!       I really encourage you all to try this! At least a few of the pages ifyou don't want to do a whole book! It's really awesome!

Woot! You totally inspire me! I have loved seeing Amanda's pages, but seeing yours all together like that makes me want to give it a whirl...once I finish up Jack's 2007 album and Max's first year album and...

LOL Kellie! I know....I am behind on albums too *sigh* It's never ending! But even if you don't do the whole book there are awesome prompts and things to get a page or two going if you want! I would love to see a Kellie book!

 I love to make pages about me! I have several in my sketch book that I just haven't had time to get in pixels, lol. But I would love to have some ideas to add to it.

Thank you so much for the inspiration and for the links, Crystal! I was just thinking about making that book yesterday before I fell asleep - as I saw Amanda's pages in the gallery before.
I think it would be really great to scrap about me, finally... I just have to get some pictures of me, am quite short of them right now. Btw. Kellie, your sketch book, that's a book for sketches and page ideas? Hmmm, another idea to steal...

What an awesome idea and gorgeous pages!!! I know I'm always scrapping about my kids, but I bet in the future they'll wanna see some stuff about me and their dad, too!

Thanks for sharing the link Crystal! I'd noticed Amanda's pages in the gallery too and was wondering what it was all about.
What a fantastic idea and a great thing for our kids and grandkids to look back on someday!

I am SO inspired to do this! I can just imagine what a treasure it would be for my kids in the future, or grand kids even. I know I would LOVE to have a book about my grandmothers or mom!
I love this idea very much.

Crystal, you really inspired me! Thanks! Your pages are stunning! In fact I started a "Book of me" project couple years ago, but didn't finish...
 Now I want to re-do my pages and finish!

What a great idea! I can see using this as a longer term project coordinated with CT kits. Sometimes I just don't have the right event/story to go with a kit, but a page about me might work well.

Great pages Crystal!
I haven't started scrapping mine yet, but I have a notebook full of stuff I wrote out for the kids.

Thanks for the link! I've been doing a lot more pages about myself lately (I don't post most of them, mostly out of laziness), so the prompts and ideas will be really helpful.

wowza, these are just incredible, and i think it would be sa-weeet to start seeing these pages pop up in the gallery around here! i would love to do something like this.... unfortunately, i have about 10 projects going at once right now, so I should probably finish a few of those off before starting something new!

So I started mine last night and went ahead and made a seperate folder for it and then when I got up this morning it was gone. The whole folder!! I spent like four hours working on two layouts and making a template :-( I still have the resized pages so I can redo them but man I am so upset!!
