What is your favorite subject to scrap?

These days, vacations since I'm finally able to travel! But I also like to scrap photos of the colors of autumn. Seems like I do pages about that all the time. Love that so much, I do an annual October Daily album just scrapping photos of the changing colors around me during the month.

I've also enjoyed scrapping photos of my cousin's family but as the kids have gotten older, there are fewer photos to scrap. The mom used to post them on Facebook but now with the kids having their own phones (and the oldest now driving), Mom doesn't get to take as many photos of them! And, with the activities they are involved with, the vacations they would take have been limited so no more photos of them exploring the world!

My dogs were always a favorite as well but as they get older, they don't change as much so not as many photos taken. So I end up not scrapping as many photos.

Autumn is my favorite season as well!❤️
 
I wasn't sure what I scrapped most, as I like to scrap about anything! I was guessing that I scrapped my children and then my pets.

So went back over the past couple of years and found that I scrap these subjects most often:

  1. My children (73 layouts)
  2. Me (60 layouts)
  3. Family (54 layouts)
  4. Love (Me + Jay) (33 layouts)
  5. Pets (32 layouts)
As my husband is fond of saying, "I love me some me." Apparently, I love me as well. BUT no one is more qualified to tell my story than me!
 
I don't have many photos but scrapping is so therapeutic. I don't even care what I scrap, but I need
The challenges to tell me a direction. If I'm winging it I usually end up doing calendars/siggy or cards but it gets old if I don't have some creative challenges.
 
1. is definitely my son aka The Dude
Then I think probably:
2. vacations/trips
3. a tie between food, nature, pretty/everyday things, myself

My dogs used to be in there, but we no longer have one and I have many picture I still need to scrap but somehow it comes to mind less and is a bit sad and painful...

You amaze me! You are so amazingly organized and talented! I am happy that you scrap yourself as well. It is great that you document your life as well as those of your family and fur babies!

I always encourage other scrappers to take photos of themselves. Not necessarily selfies or those using filters, but if you don't like the way you look, start by taking photos of just a part of you . . . like your hands or feet. You could document what lotion you like to use or if you get manicures or pedicures, or about the ways your hands and feet help you on a daily basis, gloves or slippers or fave shoes . . . I could go on and on. After a while, you'll just become adjusted to taking photos of yourself.

I think you are an incredible scrapbooker, and that you are always documenting your fabulous life and that of your family.

Thank you so much, Cheryl! Those are some wonderful ideas to start scrapping myself more. I know it will be meaningful for my family one day! Thank you, also, for your sweet comment. I love to see all of the layouts in the gallery and get inspiration. I also love learning new things to help me be a better scrapper. I am a work in progress for sure. :)
