I'm too lazy to do a dedicated 'Book of Me' but I do document stuff about 'me and mine' in my scrapbook layouts!
For years I haven't been able to do pictures of myself- just kinda had a blank about it!!!
However in recent years I've found it easier- I'm still not able to connect with those pictures so i record the memories i have about them!
I'm not a deep and meaningful journaller- just cannot do it LOL not my style! So I go for When, Where, Who and fill in any extra snippets I remember as i go!
This was my first Tim Holtz Ideology splurge!!
Did this on Holiday with minimal supplies-metal, October Afternoon paper and GLITTER!!
Again another 'done on holiday' LO so quite minimalist (for me!) Both this LO and the previous LO- have lift up flaps (Prima tape as hinges) so that I could journal lots of memories for a 4 year period.
This was a LO I did for a blog - challenge to use non scrapbooking ingredients!
Paper is wrapping paper from Paperchase, fabric is from a gown my Mother wore in the 1960's!
Lovely Basic Grey paper was perfect for this '73 picture.
My brother scanned and emailed me lots of images from slides. I hadn't seen them for nearly 20 years and didn't remember a lot of them- so these were a real treat!
We moved LOTS when i was a kid- this was my third home by age three- so it's lovely to record the homes and friends I knew back then!
QK revolution Abigail and Washington Font as title.
Oooh this was reading of the LAST Harry Potter book- I wanted to record the excitement and the MAGIC of reading these books.
DCWV paper and various stamps!
Ha-ha I remember this visit to my Grandparent's house vividly- I was in a FOUL mood and did NOT want my photo taken- Granpa- tricked me by saying there was an ice cream van...as you can see I wasn't too convinced by his story!
I was having a circle thing!! geometric is not my comfort zone- I'm more of an 'On the Wonk' scrapper but it was fun journalling this memory!
My knitting obsession that emerges every winter!
Used plain white card for this- SCARY!!! So to fill in those objectionable blank spaces with stamps and watercolour pencils!!
LOVE the piccies of 'little Miss Acorn' with my knitted bag on her head!!

great layouts of yourself, my fave is the last one, it all flows together really well, and is bright and funky.
