25 Things

I could quite possibly have done this “25 Things” to death. 

But I don’t care!

I seriously love it.

The 25 Things Tag (which probably began as one of those emails we all get) has been going around Facebook quite strongly for the past week or so.  Now while some find these things a little annoying – I personally think they are so much more fun (and friendly) then sending virtual plants, flowers, drinks, etc to each other.  (Though I am never one to turn down “Good Karma” or “Hugs” ). 

All you do is list 25 random facts about yourself.  They can be silly, serious, short, long – what I love the most is that there are no rules and no questions to just answer.  I find it so fun and interesting to read what my friends first thoughts are about how to describe themselves… how one leads into another… and what their overall picture is of themselves today.

So… it got me to thinking about what a great tool such a thing is for us as Scrapbookers, and that led to a mini-album! 

(You can read a little more about this project at the AC Bailey Blog )

Do this!  Especially if you have a block when it comes to “All About Me” pages.  If you’re having some trouble coming up with just 25 random things, consider narrowing it down to 25 Things I love – or hate – or “like about hockey”… you know, whatever!   You could even check out a book like List Yourself:

which contains so many ideas for even more.  (Psssst… just click on the pic to see some inside pages on Amazon – instant free inspiration!). 

Now I also feel I must once again shout from the rooftops that taking the time to record things about yourself is never, EVER self-absorbed.  It is so important to your inner artist (yah you have one), and future generations.  If you ever think no one wants to hear it or will be interested, you are mistaken.  That is my soap box.

So with that said I’ll leave you with this final list of 25 Things – which are pretty matter of fact and yet just another 25 of what makes me, me.  And if you list yours on your blog, or on Facebook, I want to know too!
