This Is My Story May Week 1 & 2

In this video, I'm sharing two meaningful layouts from my This Is My Story album series: The Women Who Shaped Me and Planting Seeds | What I'm Growing in This Season. The first layout honors four special women who influenced my life—my mom, stepmom, and both of my grandmothers. Through photos, journaling, and interactive flip flaps, I share some of the memories, lessons, traditions, faith, creativity, hospitality, and love they passed on to me. The second layout naturally continues that story by exploring the seeds I'm intentionally planting and nurturing in this season of life: love, time, prayer, creativity, and faith. Through photos of family, friendships, My Paper World by Shell, my creative pursuits, and everyday moments, I document the things that matter most and the legacy I hope to leave behind. These layouts remind me that memory keeping is about more than preserving photos—it's about preserving stories, values, and the people who helped shape our lives.
