Memory Monday Index

After taking a little break for the holidays, I'm ready to start Memory Monday up again. I have a lot of fun ideas for this regular blog feature so I thought this would be a good time to take an inventory to see what themes I have already posted in this series. The idea behind the Memory Monday weekly prompts is to motivate me (and my readers) to dig up some past memories and record them in some way (blog, journal, scrapbook, etc.)

1. Take an old photo and journal about it like it happened today. A great little trick to fight writer's block.
2. Pick one word and let it inspire you to create a scrapbook page. Also a good way to document the one little word challenge that Ali Edwards does each year.
3. Scan something. Chances are you have a lot of photos that are not in digital format. I know I do!
4. What are you doing today? Document the details of an ordinary day.
5. Someone who made a difference. Write about someone who has made an impact in your world.
6. Where is your memory? What would happen if you lost your computer? What if you lost your old box of photos?
7. Idea Notebook part 1 - how do you keep track of your inspiration? Also see part 2.
8. Talk to your subject. One of my favorite journaling tricks.
9. What can you stop? Make a list of things you DON'T need to do.
10. Unfinished. Document the process of making something.
11. Top Five. Use social media and quizzes to help you record your memories.
12. Making Comparisons. This is one of my favorite Memory Monday posts!
13. I love lilacs - smells trigger memories.
14. Pictures I have never seen before. Ask (or even beg) your relatives to share their photos with you!
