today I am encouraged to remember …

  • there is joy in the details of our stories
  • we are planting seeds of Stories that can only be told through our own personal lens, with details and points of focus that are meaningful to us
  • and the story of the Journey-ing is beautiful
  • it is important to leave behind traces of what we love, what we are and what we hope for
  • there is abundant hope in the good things that surround us

And part of that for me is always embracing the Yay and Hooray hullabaloo of {inter}National Scrapbooking Day. This year, as always, the Lilypad Designers have created a fresh series of free downloads to kick off this year’s National Scrapbooking Day festivities!  The Finding Joy collection is rooted in finding joy and gratitude in the little moments, the people who live in our stories, and the places and things we treasure. So welcome to my little bit of the memory keeping parade! You may have found your way here from Liz’s blog as you hop along collecting these inspiring and heartfelt bits.

So hope you enjoy!
