Power of 10
Life’s too short not to dig in and leave your fingerprints all over it. Scrapbook photo albums can forever remind the ones you love just what it is that you find so lovable. An album you create showing off your adventures today might someday prove to your children that you were – at one point – cool. An album tomorrow can lift you up and remind you of the things you had to celebrate today. Don’t wait. Don’t be afraid. Jump in and leave your mark. Let the world know that you were here. Find out just how much difference an album – and the process of making it – can make in a life! Try getting started by spending some time with a pad of paper and these 10 real-life prompts. Once you’ve answered all 10, you’ll have the framework for your very first real-life album. That’s all there is to it.
Tell us about a time in your life when you were…
1. Really happy. Was it just one of those days where
everything comes together? Or was it a special event?
2. Really scared. Fear takes many shapes. What were you
scared of? How did you handle the fear? How did it turn
out? Did you learn anything from it?
3. Really busy. There’s good-busy and then there’s just BUSY.
What kind of changes in your life created the time crunch?
Were you exhilarated or exhausted (or a little of both)? How
did you handle the pressure?
4. Really sad. Was it a loss? Were you hurt by someone
important to you? That kind of soul-gripping sadness is hard
to escape. Do you remember the steps you took back to
happiness?
5. Really amused. You’ve told the story a dozen times – to
anyone who’ll listen. And even if all you get back is blank
stares, this story just cracks you up. Take the time to get it
straight and tell it once for the ages!
6. Really angry. Even the most even-tempered of us has had
that moment. Were you proud of the way you responded?
Tell about it then, even more importantly, tell about the
moment you chose to let it go.
7. Really embarrassed. You know this moment. It’s the
one that still makes your gut tighten and your forehead
sweat whenever your mind accidentally stumbles across
the memory. But we all have that moment. (And you’ve
got to admit, it was kind of funny.)
8. Really lonely. On your own in a strange new place?
Or right at home…but without the one who makes it
feel like home?
9. Really proud. You did it! There were a few moments
where even you weren’t sure, but you came through and
no one can take that away. You should be a little proud.
(OK, that’s enough. Don’t go getting a swelled head.)
10. Really tired. Happy, sad, scared or proud, at the end of
the day, you made it to the end of the day. Tell all about
your longest day.
Use your answers and your photos to stitch together a
story of your real life. Keep it simple. Speak from the heart.
Embellish your pages or don’t. It’s your story.
