My Heritage

We are who we are because they were who they were. . . (Author: Unknown)

This is a collection of my heritage scrapbook pages.  

To use the words of Heritage Scrap:  

Heritage scrapbooking revolves around the story, as much as the image. It is a multi-media journal for the future generations to be able to look back and really understand our world and the lives before us. 

I guess that is why I love sitting down and working on my heritage scrapbooking pages.  There always seems some deep emotional attachment to the photos I am working with.  Working with the subjects in the photos connects me to the person, the experience, the memory, the story that needs to be told.

I consider myself lucky to have some treasured old family photographs which I love dearly.  I am saddened by the fact that they are so few and that there are gaps in the years where there are no photos at all.  But I have heard recently that many scrapbookers have no old family photos at all, so I consider myself one of the lucky scrappers that has the privilege of doing up a family heritage album.

So I'll start with a layout of my beautiful gracious mom and handsome sporty dad.
