Ala Gypsy: The memory keeper

Oh yes, that I am....a memory keeper.

When still living with my parents, my mom could never understand why I can`t throw everyday stuff away........because later it will be important.......serviettes of a great outing, tickets from an enjoyable show or trip, cards, pictures, magazines, ribbons, papers, buttons........it`s junk.......no it`s not........it`s my treasures, my memories and later all will tell a story of my life and the great moments

I`ts only recently that I started organizing them so that I can scrapbook them, work them into altered art, into a journal..........into a story. As I work through them now that I am moving spaces around, I recall so many amazing times and people and I`m spending way to much time in yesteryear..........my deadline is Friday!

I`m still knee deep in boxes and piles and "stuff", but it`s mine.........it`s my memories......and i`ll keep them
