Scrapbooking Ideas
I don't like all the fussy layouts that take hours...who's got time to spend 2 hours on one layout? I have bunches of photos that just need to get out of the boxes!
I hope you find some scrapbook ideas here for starting out. Leave your comments and check out some the goodies on eBay. That's the best place to find deals on everything you need when you're getting started. Plus, you'll save a FORTUNE!
Why scrapbook?
But, really, why do you scrapbook? Almost every time I send out a newsletter, I get a person who wants to unsubscribe. It's sad, but I know what it's like to get a bunch of email and sometimes, even the best newsletters are just too much and I unsubscribe just to keep my inbox clean!
Last week was no exception. I got an unsubscribe request, but it was not the usual. It was from a subscriber's husband. He wrote me to request that he remove his wife's email from my list because she died in November.
Wow.
I didn't know her personally, but it really made me sad for him and his family. Imagine having not only to go through a loved one's personal belongings, but having to go through their email...people sending notes or newsletters totally not knowing that the recipient passed away.
It made me think about how grateful her husband must be that one of her hobbies was scrapbooking. He and their children (if they have any) now have a physical reminder of her. Her thoughts, her creativity, her handwriting...all in a neat little package we call a scrapbook.
I know I always like to think about my grandkids snuggling up with me on a couch someday asking to see photos of their mommy when she was little. I just never really thought about them looking at them without me because I was no longer here to share it with them.
So here is my challenge:
Make your scrapbooks count. Make them "you" in book form. Make them a snapshot of your personality, your thoughts, your dreams so others will know who you are even if you never meet.
This little email that was only 1 sentence may have changed my life. I am going to attempt to do an album about me. I used to think these were selfish type albums, and maybe they are in a sense because if I were to leave this earth for Heaven tomorrow, I want MY girls to know who I was, what I loved, what I didn't and most of all, how much I love them.
Let me know your thoughts on this by leaving a comment in my blurb box.
But better yet, pass this lens link on to all your scrapbooking friends. It just might be the catalyst to get them scrapbooking the legacy that is their life.
