If you like to scrapbook photos, and you keep or make your own Book of Shadows...combine the two!

I do have a journal-style Book of Shadows that I record the bulk of my stuff in, but I do have a Pagan Scrapbook of pictures of pagan events, and such. This year I am doing an altar for all the sabbats...my first time honoring the sabbats like this, so I am taking pics of each one to scrapbook.

I am also creating scrapbook BoS for my girls and the things they have been involved in, spells done, etc.

I will post some pics when I get the time but they pages look awesome and it is a memory book as well as spell book for the girls! I will continue it until they are 18 and then give it to them as a gift.

I have a typed BoS for all of my spells and information, the stuff I write and the stuff I find. I decided to make a special BoS for the stuff I write myself though, so I'm scrapbooking that one. I haven't incorporated actual pictures yet, I hadn't really thought about it, lol.
I love the scrapbook/spellbook idea for your girls. I had thought about doing something like that when I have kids.

It's been a lot of fun, and the girls love watching their scrapbook BoS grow.

There's also an on-going thread on this very topic here: http://www.cauldronliving.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=forum&board=craftsanddecorati ng&op=display&num=1514&start=0

I really want 2 get a organize Bos but I don't really have it yet. I want 2 to be something 2 hand on through my family. If my child wish of course. I just not sure where 2 put things or even where 2 start! But a scrap book of my Witchy Life I never thought of. I'm sure thinking of making one now. Thanks 4 the tip[grin]

Windora, may I suggest you start here? http://www.cauldronliving.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=viewnews&id=110

Thanks Themla, I just can't find a book I feel is right & if I do it's to big 4 my pages I alright have. I'm really picky I guess! LOL

Lol, my problem is that I'm wishy washy. I keep going back and forth on which book I want to keep it in. Which leaves the pages I've already made kind of up in the air.

The thing about the scrapbook that I like is that (once you pick a size of course) you can switch the pages around as much as you want, which is great if you aren't sure where to start. It worked for me at least

In that case, I'd concentrate more on gathering my research and information to go inside a Book of Shadows and putting it on pages that can go in any number of books. That way, you put less pressure on yourself and allow yourself more time to find what book/cover appeals to you.

I still can't find a book that feels right, Everything I use have a special feeling 2 it I can't explain is been years & still no luck
