DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKINGScrap your family food traditions

Hello Shabby Shoppe readers! This is Rosy dropping in for a little inspiration post!
With the holidays here, I’ve been thinking about all of the fun family traditions and more specifically the food traditions! Chocolate covered pretzels, party mix and lots of cookies are some of the things that go along with this season in our house, but food traditions are not only at Christmas time.
Every family is different in the foods they like and eat over and over again.
Does your family bake a special kind of Christmas cookie? Do you have sour kraut on New Year’s Eve? Do you eat pizza every Saturday? Do you have a special recipe that’s been passed down through your family? Those are the kinds of things that I want to document in my scrapbook pages! My family’s habits may change in the coming years and I want to be able to look back and remember how we did things today.
Here are a few scrappable food traditions that I thought of to spark your ideas for what YOUR family’s special little traditions might be.
-
a special food combo (like pickles with pizza :)
-
a special family recipe
-
favorite holiday treats
-
your special holiday meal
-
a favorite restaurant
-
your child’s favorite meal
-
a common weekly menu
With these things going through my mind I created a page to document my family’s Sunday afternoon popcorn tradition.
…and a more seasonal page about our favorite Christmas cookie.
Thanks for stopping by…and we’ll see you back here on Monday with Layout of the Week! Have a wonderful weekend! :)

This is a great idea. For the four years we lived in one state we went to the same restaurant we ate at the morning we’d moved there to celebrate each anniversary. I’ve scrapped those trips and it starts each new year of the album from that state.
Plus, this is a great idea to take pictures of parents/grandparents with your children. I always think how special it will be to look over after their passing.

Great inspiration Rosy – we make the same Christmas cookies every Decemeber and you’ve inspired me to take photos while me make them this year and then scrapbook this tradition. I love your popcorn photos too :)
