Each Monday, I discuss my Scrap Happy project based on Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun.
October’s theme is pay attention. Rubin identifies four means of paying attention and I am going to focus on three of those ways:
- Examine true rules: What are the rules of scrapbooking? What are my scrapbooking rules?
- Stimulate the mind in new ways: How might the mind be stimulated in other ways to support my scrapbooking?
- Keep a food diary: What does keeping a food diary have to do with scrapbooking?
Each Monday in October, I’ll tackle one of these items. I hope you come back to read more!
I think most scrapbookers already think about how scrapbooking forces them to pay closer attention to the details of their lives, so I it will be interesting to think about how these tasks apply to scrapbooking itself. Do you think you pay more attention to the details of your life since you started scrapbooking? Comment below or join the conversation on facebook or twitter.
