The Path towards a Thanksgiving Leather Scrapbook

Preserving your celebrations, dinners, and memories of Thanksgiving with your family and loved ones may be achieved not only through the use of photo albums, but also through a leather scrapbook. Scrapbooking Thanksgiving memories is actually all the rage nowadays – the proof: a gamut of scrapbooking materials such as acid free papers, page accents, and the likes sold in bookstores, specialty stores, and online shops. Here are some tips to follow if you want to be successful in storing your moments in a scrapbook:

The very first step you’ll have to do is to choose a scrapbook or an album of good quality. Look for scrapbooking albums that boast of acid free paper as well as adhesives that are ‘photo safe’. In this way, the photos, letters, and other souvenirs you place inside your leather scrapbook are sure to retain their quality even as many years pass.

A good Thanksgiving scrapbook should also have your family’s Thanksgiving recipes compiled in it. It is also required that you take some photos of the dishes once they are cooked. You may also take pictures of your loved ones while they are sampling the Thanksgiving dishes. Another good idea is to take some shots of yourself or other family members while the dishes are being prepared.

As Thanksgiving is an important celebration that entails decorating your home with Thanksgiving paraphernalia, it is also recommended that you take a few pictures of your house that is decorated with Thanksgiving decorations. Place photos of your centerpiece, wall decors, and other objects that add to your home’s Thanksgiving ambiance in your scrapbook. If you have family heirlooms that have been utilized for generations during Thanksgiving, it is also nice to take some shots and include them in your leather scrapbook.

Capturing and preserving your traditions during Thanksgiving is also an important inclusion in your Thanksgiving scrapbook. Make descriptions of parades or TV specials that you and your family never fail to watch during the said holiday. You may also include markers or some materials from any board games you play with your family during Thanksgiving, and place a few inside your Thanksgiving leather scrapbook. You may also proceed to documenting any unusual or funny events during the celebration e.g. a family member who has the habit of falling asleep during Thanksgiving dinner, and the likes. It is also suggested for you to include a record of those members who won the few games you may have played during the Thanksgiving celebration.

A scrapbook of your Thanksgiving celebration documented from the very start to the very end is something priceless. For as long as you utilize a quality leather scrapbook and ensure that you place the correct titles and photos, recipes, etc. on each page, as well as a short description of each and every activity as well as how your family members felt during the festivity, you’ll be able to successfully create a valuable Thanksgiving scrapbook. Of course, you also should not forget to place page accents, and utilize colored markers to make the scrapbook attractive.
