Looking Back…
For my last open inquiry post, I decided to look back at some scrapbooks my mom made when I was little. When I was younger, I remember how much I loved pulling out all the scrapbooks my mom made over the years and slowly going through them, analyzing every picture and carefully reading the text…

Something Simple but Sweet
I made this page for my boyfriend and I. I have been so used to creating elaborate pages with ribbons, stickers, paper, gems and more embellishments, but I felt a lot simpler when I made this page. I was also feeling very low-energy, so I didn’t want to overcomplicate things. For the top page, I…

This week in tech we all presented our group research presentations. I really enjoyed seeing everyones presentations and especially how each presentation was only 3-5 minutes. This way, it felt like an elevator pitch, so we could see just a glimpse into everyones presentations. Everyones presentations went very well including my own. It felt like…

Another Page Down!
I have successfully completed another page of my scrapbook! I seriously underestimated how long it takes to complete just one page of a scrapbook. Maybe people who don’t overthink every piece of ribbon they glue down are a bit quicker, but I have learnt to enjoy the process of it all. I feel so much…

Getting Started
I have slowly started assembling my scrapbook over the past two weeks. Originally, I thought I had to have a theme or a topic to scrapbook about, but after I printed out a handful of photos from the past eight months, I quickly realized a theme does not necessarily matter! At first when I got…
