Those that love scrapbooking generally end up saying what an awesome idea a scrapbook would be. The only problem here is that you need to rely greatly on what people already have. You will need to start with the day you were born or you could start from the time your mother feel pregnant or the day her and your father meet.
Either way this will require you to talk with your parents and find out what life was like for them back then and how they come to the decision to have you. Ask them if they have any photos from back then that you could use. Now many people don't like to see their photos chopped up and that's ok. You can photocopy them or upload them to your PC and then get them printed. So there is no need for anyone's precious memories to be destroyed for your project.
You next step is to look at when you were born. The time you were born and on what date and day. How much you weighed, how long you were and what hospital or if it was a home birth where your parents lived at the time. Hey you might have been in a hurry and born in a car. Once you're done that you might like to look back in articles at the library and see what the headlines where in the papers and what was happening in the world back then.
Between now and your next mild stone you have Christmas, birthdays, mother/fathers days and Friends Birthdays you may have attended. So you may have to call on some of these people to help you along your journey.
Then move on to your next mild stone which for most of us was starting kindergarten. If you're like my children, you might find that your kindergarten no longer exist, and has been pulled down to make room for progress. So remember your good old social networks like Facebook where you can look up to see if there are groups on there for your kindergartens year. There is also Google search. Don't just stick with your friends as there are always other avenues. The council building might also have kept history from back then.
Again focus on the important things that happen in between now and when you started your first day at primary school. Don't forget to take a look in the library for old newspapers to see what was happening in your world around that time.
Continue this progress for your high school years, if you did your debutante, your 18th and 21st birthdays, when you first left home, if you got engaged, got married or divorced. If you have children or any other real significant times in your life during these times.
