I can remember when I was in my pre-teen days and I would tuck and save ticket stubs, package wrappers, and even cloth swatches from special times. I would take a camera to about every event and get together. You should see my senior scrap book! It doesn't shut, not even close! It's more of an "L" shape and stored in a box of it's own. lol I LOVE looking back through it. Fast forward a few years to about a year before my first child, Sydnee. I was just married, we were moving into our first apartment, it was the life I had hoped for. I started scrapping it. I documented everything. Soon my daughter came, so did mounds of photographs of her! Two more children later, a home, and a stronger passion...I know why I scrap. I scrap because I want to relive, share, pass on...memories and happenings that can only be relived, passed on, or shared through documenting on something that is archival safe. Hence...Scrapbooking! I don't understand why some people DON'T scrap?!?

ReplyDeleteAmy,
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh about the senior book. Mine looks the same way! And that was long before I became a scrapper.
great blogging! Oh we should get together and share our senior books...LOL "L shaped"...LOL!
ReplyDeleteScrapbooking is so much cheaper than therapy...I think. Sometimes I wonder! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh at the senior book thing! haven't heard anyone mention those in years & years! I occasionally take mine out & look at it. I have to hold it together with a big ribbon because all the seems are ripping.
