Tunes at STI!

Music tells a lot about about a person and can be a window to a soul. Have you ever scrapbooked with music lyrics? Do you use lines from songs or titles in your layouts? Do you collect and scrap your favorite quotes and thoughts? Music lyrics are a great addition to these types of albums.

We've been trying to add a playlist to our blog to entertain you as you read up on the activities at Scrap-To-It!. If the playlist isn't working when you open the blogsite, give me some time. This is a stretch for me and I may have to get my web buddy to help fix me. If it does work, it might speak volumes about the owner and author of 'Round and Round with Scrap-To-It!" If you are brave -- leave me a comment or two about my selections -- but go easy on me!

In the mean time, be thinking about the kinds of songs you like. Why you like them. When do you play them, and why? Does music stir you or does it relax you? Do you listen to different genres or are you a true-blue loyal to one style? Consider doing a layout or 'book of me' page about your music likes and dislikes. Consider doing one every few years as music changes and often we do too.

When I was growing up, I couldn't get my parents to even try to listen to my music. It actually took a few grandkids to help bring my parents up to speed. I have actually enjoyed having a teenager around to keep me in the loop with music trends. Granted, I don't like all of what he does, but I've enjoyed hearing some great tunes or touching lyrics in what he's introduced me to.

Scrapbooking and music...do they go together? What do you think? Those of you that are older, do you have memories of the music of high school days? Did you and your main squeeze have a song? What did you play at your wedding?

Those of you that are young moms now do you spend most of your time listening to Wiggles and Dan Zane (sheesh I hope I spelled that right)? My kids are really spread apart and for a long while if the radio was on in the SUV it was kid stuff. The teenager and I often opted for silence rather than spend an hour re-running Little People tunes. Luckily my dd has begun showing signs of enjoying what her older brother listens to (which of course means more mom monitoring). All of these are the seasons and phases of life. Do these things make it into the pages of your story? What will be your recorded history? Think about it...and see if music shouldn't be included.
