I have started printing out my blog post each day and putting it in a binder.
I have been writing about my quilting primarily, but because quilting is part of the fabric of my life, I often include other things that are going on around me. My postings have become my personal journal. I had a moment of panic thinking that if something happened - a computer crash somewhere in blog land - I would loose everything.
I was showing my son by binder and I jokingly told him that he could inherit it someday. He expressed sincere interest in me leaving this bit of history to him and so I dedicate my blog to my son who will treasure it and will make sure my story lives on forever as part of our family history!
I also print out my blog - but do it a month at a time. I also periodically back it up on an external drive.
ReplyDeletesome one asked me if I printed out mine and never thought about it. But I guess it would be a good idea, since mine, too is a journal of me!
ReplyDeleteI print mine out every day, too. I think of it as my journal now, too.

With all the pictures, I don't know that I would want to print mine out but I do back up the postings especially since I lost the first six weeks of entries (long story) and had to start over.
ReplyDeleteBut as the others said, it is our modern day version of a journal or diary and is a means of preserving women's history.
What a good idea, and if you did it day by day, it wouldn't seem like an overwhelming task..*VBS* Thanks for sharing your idea..*S*
ReplyDeletehow sweet of your son to feel that way. I know I enjoy writing about my quilting and sharing photos..it is a way of documenting our story.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Stash Quilts ring. I've taken time this morning to read through your blog. I've enjoyed my time getting to know you and look forward to reading about more of your quilting adventures.
