Collecting Memories

Lately, I've been trying to write in my journal more often. I've just felt the need to document my thoughts and even the mundane happenings in my life. I guess I feel that if I had to save something I would save my journals, letters and photos. 

This is my current journal. It's getting pretty fat because I always glue in little bits like clothing tags, movie tickets, stickers, little notes, all sorts of ephemera I collect.

I have about a third left and I hope to finish it soon. 

I took this photo of my pretty journals and notebooks that are ready to be used and filled with all sorts memories.

Do any of you like to keep memories? Write in a journal? Keep all your letters and little notes? I have boxes of these. Maybe I will take a photo of them sometime.

Anyway, I have a giveaway going on over at Sandy a la Mode. Go and check it out to win a headband, a pair of earrings and some mini note cards of your choice!!

Memory Keeping

First I want to say congrats to my middle brother Alvin who proposed to his gf Melly on the weekend!

So now there are going to be two weddings in our family next year. Eepp!! Almost an excitement overload. (As a family we seem to really love play grounds). It's crazy to think that after my wedding a few months later my brother will be getting married too.

This week I'm doing a huge clean of my bedroom, the study, wardrobes...pretty much everything with my things. Whenever I clean I always get a bit nostalgic as I usually find old meaningful items like journals, letters and other little bits. It got me thinking about keeping memories.

I'm a journaller, letter writer and memory keeper. I have boxes of little items that mean something to me and I keep all letters, cards, notes and journals. Except there was a time I went on a rampage and got rid of my journals from age 12 to 18. For some reason I went a little crazy and didn't want to keep them. Now I regret my decision to throw them out and wish I could look back on what I wrote.

So I thought I would share a few memory items that I like or would love to buy.

A. Kikki.K Cloth photo album

B. Kikki.K Memory Book Love

C. Kikki.K 365 Diary

I adore those photo albums with the black pages and the white paper between each sheet. I would love to get one of the Love memory books and fill one out with Jason. And that 365 diary is a great way to write a little something each day. When I journal I like to add pictures, stickers, movie ticket stubs, little bits of paper and other things.

I had to add this picture in. I definitely know that I would love my bridesmaids to be wearing the same colour but different styles. The more I see pictures like this the more I love it.

Have a lovely week and thanks for all your comments!
