Sometimes when i think about why i scrapbook or when someone asks me why i scrapbook. I get this overwhelming feeling in me to tell them why i do it. It's passion for me. Mainly because when my mother and father pass on one day, all i have are photos of them. I do try to listen to stories of the past, but what would be so much better than that????????? Words with those photos! Add a little art and WOW! That is why i scrapbook. My boys already look at their scrapbooks. They love it! And they don't just look - they ask me questions. THAT is the gratification that i get from scrapbooking. And one day, when i'm gone, they will have the photos and scrapbook pages that i put my heart and soul into......... And they will have something to hold on to and read about their past with me, their daddy and their family. I am so passionate about this! Can you tell yet? And for those of you that say "I'm not creative." It's not about creativity, it's about what you feel. PUT THAT ONTO A PAGE! Even if it's only words and a photo stuck on with double sided sticky tape. It would be worth it to your family one day when you are gone........
Well, one more reason.........you get some quiet time alone - even if for a little while........
So, with that said-stay tuned, because i'm going to begin posting some of my layouts. Maybe it will inspire someone to start this wonderful craft called SCRAPBOOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!
