When we think about memory keeping, we often default to the big stuff—birthdays, vacations, graduations. But what about the little things? The quiet victories? The days you chose to rest. The moment you showed up for yourself with scissors and cardstock, even when your energy was low.
Those are the wins that truly matter. Especially when you’re healing. Especially when you’re growing. This post is your gentle reminder: your small wins are worth documenting.
🎯 Why small wins are worth capturing:
- They build momentum
- They validate your progress
- They keep joy and gratitude in focus
- They remind you: you’re doing better than you think
💗 What counts as a small win?
- You made something just for fun
- You cleaned your craft table
- You printed out three photos
- You showed up and made one journaling card
- You rested instead of pushing through
📸 Creative ways to document them:
- A 6×8 layout titled “Today I Did This”
- A row of 2×2 photos with captions like “Tiny Triumphs”
- A “One Sentence Journal” using Stampin’ Up! journaling stamps
- A flipbook or tag ring of “Moments I’m Proud Of”
- Add an “I’m proud of…” tag to any scrapbook page
“Last Tuesday, I finally organized my cardstock scraps by color. I used the new In Color folders and labeled them with mini tags. I added a small photo of the drawer to a 3×4 card that says ‘Order is a kindness.’ It felt SO good.”
Conclusion & Call to Action:
Your small wins matter. They’re not filler. They’re proof of life, movement, and self-compassion. So don’t wait for the big stuff—scrap what matters today.
