Hello everyone! This is Deb and I'm happy to be here with my first post at write. click. scrapbook. I'm sharing today one of my most favorite benefits of being a scrapbooker. This wonderful hobby makes me more aware of the life I'm living and therefore, reminds me to make memories along the way. It's not that I'd be a total homebody if I wasn't a scrapper, but let's just say I'm not normally the adventurous type.
So when my husband suggested horseback riding on our recent trip to Bryce Canyon, I was a little apprehensive. The trails are narrow with steep drop offs in some places and we all know riding a horse is not the most comfortable way to travel. But then I thought about the awesome memory my family would make and I thought of the layout I would make to document it. That was all it took. I was in. Okay, I did ask if there had been any fatalities and thankfully, there had not.
I most likely would have gone on the ride even if I wasn't a scrapbooker, but the added incentive didn't hurt! Here's my layout documenting the amazing adventure we had riding horses in the canyon.
I made a couple more layouts while I was in adventure mode. This one is about a six hour canoe trip from a few years ago. My boys don't think it counts as adventurous because there were no rapids. I disagree.
And one more from last summer when we visited a waterfall and my guys got to jump from a rocky ledge beneath the falls.
I hope I've inspired you to get out and make some memories to document whether they be of the adventurous kind or nice everyday moments!
