where do you go?
I came across this layout recently (it's published in CK's February 2005 issue and based on my sketch for that month). I'm so grateful I did this layout. It was from the time that we lived in Cleveland, Ohio and now, of course, we no longer live there. It's so fun to look back and see all the places that we saw on a daily or weekly basis.
It got me thinking. And I want to challenge you to do a similar themed layout in your scrapbook. Whether you live somewhere temporarily or you're a long-time resident. These places you go, they make up part of what your life is. Get it recorded. And if you do ... e-mail me the layout. I want to see! (bhiggins@ckmedia.com)
Hope you've having a great day.

I love your simple and beautiful layouts, Becky! I've been wanting to do a layout about our home and town for awhile now, so this could be fun!
I have a question that kind of has to with your post a few days ago about picture storage (on your computer). Do you attempt to scrapbook every (or practically every) picture you take? If you don't, what do you do with those photos that don't make it to the scrapbook??
Thanks!
I love that layout Becky! I'm going to MA next week to visit my grandfather and my hometown, and I think I'm going to scraplift that to do a "my hometown" layout. Thanks!

Hiya Becky - this layout is PERFECT - I am going to use it for a circle journal about where I live! It also touches me since i grew up in Cleveland too
This is just what I needed! Thank you as always!! You seem to always come through for me! ;) We are two months outside of Match Day-you guys probably remember what that is like! We live in Columbus, OH and there have been a million things to do here and if we leave here in June and start residency somewhere else, I want my kids to remember what kinds of things we did here during med. school. Now, I just need your help with a favor...tell me or show me how to scrapbook four years of my husband in medical school into one layout !!!! ;)
You gave me some inspiration. It might take me awhile but I'm going to do this. Wish I had done this where we used to live so we'd have the memories, but I'll start now. thanks
This is one of my favorite sketches by you! Love the simplicity and the strips on the second page!
I remember doing this sketch, now I want to do your idea! I moved 11 times in the first 18 years of my life! I would have loved something like this for all those places!
I love your layouts Becky. So clean and simple. My kind of layout! The color choices are perfect. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is perfect! A beautiful layout and an awesome topic! I can't wait to drive around snapping shots of all our favorite places!!
I really like the idea behind that layout. I might need to do one of those myself. Thanks
for the inspiration!
LOVE the challenge, LOVE the layout, I'm going to do it!
I remember all these places! Thanks for the Cleveland flashback.
Becky,
I loved this layout when I first saw it. I've been planning on doing this layout for quite a while - I think this is a fun, yearly layout to complete. I took all the pictures for my layout a few months ago, but just haven't done it yet. Maybe I will so I can send it to you!

I remember this LO from CK and it inspired me to do a similar LO for a book I was doing when we moved to a new place. I devoted a whole book to our old home and town and one of the layouts was about our favorite places there. I love to look back on it now! Thanks for the great idea, Becky!

I remember this layout well. I LOVED it, it's one of my all time favorites.
I made one immediately after seeing yours and it's still one of my all time favorite layouts. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Love this layout Becky...I also am a Cleveland (suburbs anyway) girl and lived there till I was 11. Still in Ohio, but away from the hustle of the big city anyway...thanks for the memories!
hey, that car seat looks familiar!!! :)
Becky, I remember that LO--loved it then & have had the best intentions of doing one of my own. thanks for the challenge to do it! :-)
I REALLY loved that LO and remember it well. I live not too far from where you lived in Cleveland....LOT's of COOL things to do there. But I am SURE that you don't miss the Ohio winters and the snow....
I heard you live in or around Peoria...I also live in Peoria and am so sad Recollections closed. Do you know of any scrap groups in the area? I would love to belong to one. Do you teach any classes in Peoria? I ask because I heard you live near Peoria.
Have a great day.

Good morning! I have been anxiously awaiting the school kit (along with so many others Im sure!) and waited up until after 1 a.m. Eastern to order. I thought I must have made a mistake with the time difference and finally went to bed. However, when I got up this morning, its still January's kit? I was wondering why and if we will see your kit before the end of the day? Thanks so much for any answers you can provide.
Where is the Feb KOM? It's now Feb 1 and it's not on your site or Lisa's?
Where's your kit? I stayed up well past 1 to get it but got tired and went to bed and just tried to order yet its still January's?? I really want this before it sells out. I hope I don't miss it while at work.
Hi,
I'm another one that stayed up really late last night waiting for it. Now this morning it still isn't there. I wonder what time they will list it today? I don't want to miss it but I hate to spend too much time waiting also.
just waiting for the KOTM also:)
Super idea - thanks for "re-sharing" it! Today is a snow day and I need something to do =)
mmmmm love this idea - will give it a go!!!! hope the locals dont wonder why I'm taking photos of the local market and other sites etc!!!!!!
