The Book Of Me Review
by Andrea Steed
(Aug 3, 2002)
Do you look through your scrapbooks and see photos of your husband, your kids, your good friends, your pets and your home? All of these things mean so much to you, and are important to document and display. However, if you’re like most scrapbookers, there’s someone missing…YOU! Well, you say, sometimes there’s no one else to take pictures, and besides, what would I say about myself in my scrapbooks?
Angie’s heartfelt welcome message at the beginning of the book is enough to empower any woman to feel worthy of an album all about her. Scrapbooking is about passing down a legacy and telling the story of our lives and who we are. The Book of Me is the perfect stepping stone to sharing your story with your family and friends. The book is divided into 15 chapters. Each chapter focuses on a different role that you play or time in your life, and offers many different subjects to make your album complete. By the time you go through each chapter, you will have covered your whole life, and will have shared important aspects of your life and a deeper understanding of who you are. Each chapter includes layout examples, journaling prompts, definitions of the role it focuses on, quotes related to the roles, lists of Internet resources and suggestions for layouts. It’s a very easy-to-understand book, with bulleted lists of ideas, which makes it easy to reference when working on a layout. Just flip to the chapter that you’re working on and you’ll have instant resources for the subject you’re working on. I really enjoyed reading through this book, asking myself some of the journaling prompt questions, and taking a closer look at what I’d find when I put my thoughts and traits on paper in a scrapbook. I’ve been working on my childhood album recently, and will use many of the ideas from this book to help kick-start my journaling so that my album shows more than just my face, but shows my soul as well.
