Scrapping

I like to scrapbook. It is the only sort of crafty thing that I can do! I have many albums of our family already done. I am currently working on the family 2007 album. I recently finished an album for my niece. It was her college graduation and my parents asked me to make an album of her entire life! I finished it about a week before graduation, said a prayer, and sent it by UPS.

I am not a scrapbooking snob, but I only use Creative Memories albums and mostly their papers, etc. This is what I started with and I like the quality of the albums. I occasionally buy some paper elsewhere, but my albums are 95% CM. CM stuff has never been true 12x12 like most albums and paper. However, they have now decided to switch to true 12x12. That means that the page protectors, papers, etc are going to change. I have to finish my 2007 album; my daughter's second album; and my son's college album before I can start a new true 12x12. My first true 12x12 will be for 2008. In other words, I should be scrapbooking instead of blogging.


Now that my son is at college, I actually have a scrapbook room. I share the room with his cat who hates the other cat. This cat sort of likes me and does like it when I come into that room to scrapbook. Last time my son was home, we packed up his books so that I could use the shelves for scrapbooking stuff. Now I have my scrapbooking stuff out all the time. The room isn't too far from my computer which is useful for printing out titles or journaling boxes. Gotta go scrap!
