An excellent way to remember everything you’ve done is to keep a travel journal. This is a journal which is usually devoted to one trip at a time. You’ll write and add mementos and memories into the journal so that you can look back on it with pride and happiness.

I have been scrapbooking for over 20 years and have dozens of albums but this one that I made for our trip to Seattle is absolutely my favorite!

Newspaper clippings are part of everyone's life and often make great additions to a photo album or scrapbook but if they aren’t preserved properly it will deteriorate over time. 

I've recently been working to get all of my photos organized and if you're like me you have boxes and boxes of photos that include piles of duplicates.

By adding photos and decorative elements to the journal I was already using, I was creating my first memory journal.
