The Lonely Scrapper: Stay-at-Home Scrappers Who Crave Social Interaction & Entertainment
It's ironic, isn't it? Most of us start scrapping because we have darling little ones to scrap about but it's those same little darlings that make it hard for us to get out to crops at our local scrapbook stores. And those weekend getaways and cruises for scrappers? Yeah, right. It can get lonely scrapping into the wee hours of the night with no one to to share your enthusiasm for paper scraps and little silk flowers. I have created this lens to provide fellow scrappers for the best scrapbooking sites online to interact at- smaller sites that you won't get lost in with friendly women.
There is a whole world of friendly scrappers who are looking for other scrappers to interact with too. They are waiting to talk to you, give you feedback about layouts you've added to galleries, etc. It's like internet dating without the need to photoshop your picture and lie about your age (much). And if you're not up for "dating," I've also included some other links that you can enjoy all by your lonesome as well as some funny video parodies about scrapbooking.

Looking for more solitary scrapping? How about some scrapbooking fiction?
Yep, there are fictional accounts of scrappers just like us!
I was honestly surprised to do a search on Amazon and find scrapbook-based fiction of all things. I must admit to being a little skeptical but I'm not usually a huge fan of "chick lit" in general. However, I'm willing to be persuaded. Make sure to VOTE on your favorite and add any I have left out. I want to know if these are really worth reading!

YouTube Has Some Funny Stuff about Scrappers
Warning: You have to have a sense of humor about your hobby though
I think these first two videos are the most classic parodies of scrapping on the Internet at the moment. Happy Monday Girl should come in at a close second, in my opinion- Happy Monday Girl, you make me happy!
