Tell Me More ...
2/1/2008 12:00:43 PM (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00)
Greetings from the home office, and happy Friday!
Earlier this week we asked you if you felt your interests were being served in the pages of MM and online. We got some great
responses in the forum
and I want to share a couple here.

After reading Patty's post, it got me to thinking about my own situation...active grandmother with three grandchildren. Most of my scrapbooking focuses on my grandchildren, which gives me infinite pleasure, and MM is full of inspiration in that category, but I think I'm going to start doing more about myself and my husband. So, MM, here's another demographic you might want to think about...Empty Nesters.

There is a slowly-growing trend towards encouraging scrapbookers to do LO's of themselves and I think it's refreshing! We all wear so many hats in our lives, and every one is worthy of some attention in our layouts. Whether spouses or children ever come into the equation, someone, someday will be intrigued by how we lived and what we were like. I'd hate for my children or grandchildren to look back at my work and not see what a full, fun, challenging and satisfying life I really had, beyond being a mom.
We'd still like to hear from more of you.
Come to the forum
and tell us what you love about the magazine, or what's missing that would make your scrapbooking time more meaningful.
Peace and love,
Patty

I totally totally totally agree with Coffeeaddict. It wasn't until I was a young adult, 15, 16, 17 that I realized my mom was also once a young adult. When I would ask her about her young adulthood, having little babies, getting married, what styles she wore in college she never had as much information as I wanted. I wanted MORE answers. I wanted ALL the answers. I wanted to peek into a piece of her life that I missed, she probably did too. Our days speed by so fast - my memories are everything to me. So I have always made an effort to record off facts & thoughts about myself so my kids can later learn to know the 28 year old me. And the 30 year old me and so on. Thanks MM for listening! :)
