The reason I scrapbook is for enjoyment, for stress release, for creativity, for brain function, for passing the time when there is nothing interesting on tv (scrapbooking is always more fun when the tv is on) and to preserve the memories of our lives. Specifically our childrens lives because in the years I have been at it, I only have albums for the kids, not myself, not the hubbster and not my overseas trip. I plan on starting these, I really do, but when I have some amazing paper, I always scrap a pic of the kids. For their albums. To be given to them on their 21st birthday - or maybe not. I wonder will they truly appreciate all the blood, sweat and tears? I have put into their albums??
I haven't tried digital scrapbooking as yet. Hmm, I'm not really sure about this. I like my pages to have texture, and depth, so I stick to the "old fashioned" way. I am not a tidy scrapbooker. Because we are in temporary accomodation on the farm, I have some of my "stuff" in a big plastic box, and my table is overflowing with the rest of it. As I have mentioned before, I will have my own kid free craft room in our new house and I honestly think I am looking more forward to that than say .. the new kitchen.
I never put away as I go, rather clutter up to the point of chaos. Heres a photo:-
- Note the unrelated wine glass and gym gloves in the top right hand corner. Guess which gets used the most. Here are some pretty pics:-
