Pictures | 25th Birthday Scrapbook

For my 25th birthday, I took on a pretty involved project--documenting the important people, places, and activities in each phase of my life. With my 26th birthday on the horizon, I am setting that as a deadline to finish up the scrapbook. Gotta push through in these final weekends.

I broke down my life into phases for the book:

• Early years
• Elementary School
• Middle School
• High School
• College
• 4 months post-grad in Sweden
• 1 year in Long Island
• 2 years in Boston

In each phase, I created a spread with photos from each year, and I'm writing in popular movies, pop culture fads, music, technology, etc. Beyond that, each phase has pages for my family, friends/people, the activities, the places, travel, and important memories.

It has been really fun to see how all of these categories have morphed/changed/stayed the same over time and to take a trip down memory lane to remember events from each phase. Here are some photos from the scrapbook.

Here is the title page:

Here is an example of the page that is at the beginning of each phase:
