A little Space like Home: A Scrapbook for Someone Special

I love to scrapbook.

I also think it's a lovely way to make someone feel loved, valued, worthy.

I've used scrap booking in many different forms to give someone a sentimental gift, for the 30th, 50th.

But most recently I've made a scrapbook for someone simply to say, thank you for being such a great friend.

Even though they live interstate, I was skillful enough to rummage through their photos and scan a collection of memorable shots, without them even knowing.

This someone, I know they read my blog, not daily, but adhoc.? So if you're reading this, maybe this post is about you.

And if you're reading this and the baby in the pictures above looks familiar, well you can expect a little parcel from the postman in the next 24 hours.

I was hoping to have this ready for this person's birthday on the weekend, but I was a little behind schedule.

But really, it's not a birthday present anyway, it's a just because present.

I've filled this album with gorgeous shots, not just of this someone, but of photos of them, with all the special someones in their life.? Precious moments caught in time that I hope will remind them of a good life lived so far and the prospects of exciting things to come.

Telling someone their valued, or important to you, doesn't have to involve a scrapbook.? It may be as simple as taking them to the movies, dropping around a handful of magazines if they need to put their feet up, or perhaps even a telephone call.

Have you told anyone recently that they are important in your life, and that you value their friendship?

If not go for it, I know it made me feel just as good for making the effort.

Cheers

Mandy.
