Do you have a Scrap Book?

[cherryowen]

In the old fashioned sense?

Stuff you've kept for memories.

Could be anything; a piece of paper with a message on / a brochure of something / a map. Whatever.

Back in 2004, when I started dating who is now Mrs O, I - for no apparent reason - bought a "book" type thing that allows documents to be sealed in cellophane on each page.

This is one "page" :-



The train tickets from Villafranca to Verona, and the entry tickets to Verona's amphitheatre both from (I think) 2004. The Buffalo Grill receipt on the right was from Verdun which was our last overnight stop before Calais the next morning.

Or a photograph album as the rest of the world calls them.

I’ve got an old box that I chuck tickets and interesting stuff like holiday maps in

Makes me realise how much cool stuff I’ve done

Hopefully one day my grandchildren will find it (before lobbing it in the skip) and realise I did cool stuff too!

I don't have one.

Keep the odd ticket from big events.

England Wales Rugby
Access pass for a private Air show
Henley Stewards enclosure pass
Aston Martin owners club Silverstone pass

Photos mean more to me, so most stuff gets binned. I certainly wouldn't keep meal receipts.

yep got the exact same. i keep all my tickets (gigs, football etc....), festival wrist bands, flyers/ leaflets for things we’ve done/ seen on holiday, business card type things from restaurants, ski lift passes/ piste maps, hotel room keys, vegas casino match boxes........ basically any small memento that i can take/ steal/ acquire

I also have a photographs/ pictures. Altho they are mostly digital and stored on the computer (backed up else where also!!) every 6-12 months i make a point of printing a load off. I just love flicking through photographs and bringing back memories

[alorotom]

Nope. Nothing like that gets kept. I have digital photos of the memories and that’s what matters to us.

Tbh I can’t remember the last time I had a paper boarding pass, ticket, etc... at all so wouldn’t have anything to keep anyways

I don't have a scrap book, I do generally keep tickets from places I go (gig, football), buy a programme if I feel like it.

But couldn't tell you where most of the stuff is I've kept, I know I refuse to chuck it away at a house move or clear out though.

I always save tickets and use them as bookmarks.

At present my ticket for the Eise Eisinga Planetarium in Franeker (Friesland) is steadily inching its way through Proust.

I defy any of you to tell me you've ever been there.

In the tent I use to go camping there is a ticket to every f1 or motogp race I have been to ... likewise in my ski boot bag the lift pass from every holiday.

No, I don't see the point. I guess many like to think their families will be interested in them, I doubt it though. For many what you treasure and what your family treasures are often very different.
