I’ve reached the point in the Asi Album where I’m happy to call it done. The majority of the pages are Project Life style – there are only ten traditional 12×12 spreads – and I like the look and feel of having mixed things up. 🙂
The Best Friend asked me how I remembered so much from so long ago – a perfectly valid question. The answer is simple, if in a few parts … Mum had saved a lot of my letters from 1994 (so it was great to have them to refer to), I’d kept a diary (initially fairly descriptive and detailed then becoming more a series of bullet points) and the more I thought about things, using my photos as a visual prompt, the more I remembered.
I’m not too worried about the sparse amount of journaling included in the album, as thanks to last year’s 100 Day Project, I have a much more detailed written account recorded elsewhere for posterity. 🙂

I bet it was interesting to read the letters that you sent home! What amazing memories you have of your adventures – this is such a great album

Haha, the thing I noticed about the letters is my lack of detail! I probably dashed off a note prior to going on shift or 5 minutes before the last drop off for mail making the Northbound aircraft. 🙂 The youth of yesteryear!

Yeah done! And what a fun project. In re-reading the letters you sent your Mum, have you noticed if your handwriting changed over the years?
Happy Weekend.

Haha, yes! My handwriting is so much nicer now than it was in 1994. 🙂

Oh nicely done. Love the page of tags, especially. And isn’t it funny how our brains just need a little priming and we can remember more and more things we thought we had forgotten. I am working on our France album right now and finding that to be the case, although I wish I had taken more notes contemporaneously.

I have been lucky with how much info I have about my RAF service … if only there were more photos, particularly of me in uniform. 🙂
