Tips: Journaling Tips

Journaling with Few or No Photos

 

Sometimes you have a memory you want to scrapbook and few if any photos to go with it.  You can still scrapbook this memory.  Let the memory itself give you ideas as to how to "decorate" the page, and use journalling to tell the story.  Here are a few questions to get you going:

  • Describe the location - Where does the memory take place? What does this place look like?Describe any specific features of the location.
  • Use all of your senses - What do you see? hear? taste? feel? smell? Using your senses can transport you right back to that time.
  • Answer the "W's" - Who is with you and what is their relationship to you? (or who is not there), When did this happen, Why did this happen or why is this memory important to you? What happened?  Why was it exciting?  Why do you remember it?  
  • Insight - What was the best thing about this memory? Is there anything you don't like about the memory? What did you learn? Did it affect you and help shape you into who you are today?

 

Answering these questions will trigger information that you can journal, to help tell the story of this memory.  Remember, not every page needs a photo.
