Book of Me Series One - Starts Monday!

Hi all,

We are excited to be kicking off our popular Book of Me series of crops this Monday 2nd March! We have run this in previous years and the feedback was very positive. Creating pages unique to you is hugely rewarding plus it is a great way to make new friends!


What is a Book of Me?

It’s easy to scrapbook big events, your children/family members and holidays. Being a scrapbooker often involves being behind the camera rather than in front. Are you the missing family member in your albums? Creating a Book of Me solves that problem. This is your opportunity to tell YOUR story. What makes you unique? What is your passion? Creating a Book of Me is a fun and non-threatening way to put you and your likes, dislikes, heritage, hopes, quirks in the spotlight.

Have you every wondered what life was like for your Grandmother, Great-Grandmother? Create a Book of Me and record your story for future generations.


“There is only one person who can write this story of your life with all its foibles,

follies, treasures and tears. That person is you.”

Kathleen Adams, Journal to Self



Types of pages you will be creating in the Book of Me workshops:

Past. Things I’ve done, childhood, experiences, past hopes and dreams.

Present. Your life right now, characteristics and personality traits, current roles, likes and dislikes.

Future. Hopes, dreams, goals


Your story is worth telling. Added bonus you might learn something about yourself too!
