Family Resemblances and More
We often see scrapbook layouts where the similarities are emphasized with family members – as the sayings go…”like mother like daughter”, “like father like son” or “two peas in a pod”. We are most likely to focus on what makes us alike – parents and children, siblings – whatever the relationships – there are sure to be many likenesses either in physical appearance or behaviors – so this is a common theme.
So here’s a challenge for you. Document some of the interesting and unique ways that you are different than someone in your family too – for example interests, hobbies, beliefs, lifestyle choices, careers, etc. Try putting together a layout that shows the contrasts as well as the similarities…this will give your story a whole new dimension and make it a little more surprising.
Cheers and Happy Scrapbooking!
