    So AAM pages are some of my faves to create. I do them for scrap therapy or to document myself for my kids when they grow up. I think so many of us focustomer on scrapping our families that we forget about ourselves. Our kids and loved ones will love knowing who we are and we're over the years! So I challenge you to get some AAM pages done. Maybe even an album!!! You can do scrap therapy, have your kids interview you, scrap some of your favourite things or things about yourself that you love or are pet peeves. I promise your family will love it!!

    As well, @carilyne had a great idea, we often only document special events and forget about our day to day ordinary life. These are things that our kids, loved ones, friends will love to see as well. The small things in life is actually the big things!

    @carilyne and I are going to start a bi-weekly AAM+Document the ordinary prompt challenge series. I hope I can get some of you involved, this could become a very cool album for each of us!!!

    Hoping I stay organized so I can join in! It's so important that we tell our own stories, not just those of our children ~ totally agree with that!

    I like to do AAM pages too! My plans for 2016 included my own sort of AAM album and finishing up my WITL project for those ordinary moments. :)

    Ohhh, I am so glad I found this!! I have been seeing the layouts but didn't know what it all meant! This sounds like so much fun, and like you said, we never scrap our everyday moments.

    Sorry Anne, as much as you love it, St Patrick's Day is not an ordinary moment. But we could make a challenge. I'm sure I'll find out why there are leprauchans hording gold everywhere soon.

    Hubby is working out of town tonight so I am planning on being creative. Any ideas for an AAM challenge? It's been awhile...

    I'd love to get some prompts for these, too. Maybe there could be a brainstorming session somehow and a monthly list cobbled together? Sort of like they do for photo prompts? Weekly or *gasp* daily ones perhaps, grin. I'd help all I'm able!

    Sorry! I dropped the ball on this. Summer is SO busy for us.

    Here's the prompt for this week. I would like to do one every Sunday:

    One quality you love about yourself and one quality you don't like

    aaaaaand GO!!

    Actually I will start a new thread for these

    I haven't really thought about doing many layouts about me. What a good idea! I used to journal a lot...
