May is National Scrapbooking Month

I remember when I started scrapbooking. It wasn't really a conscious decision - it kind of snuck up on me. I wanted to make a cute picture book for my son and niece for Christmas. I bought some patterned paper, selected favorite family pictures, and wrote little snippets about each person. Gee - sounds just like a scrapbook, right? I didn't think so then. At the time I thought scrapbooks had to be elaborate works of art, with the quality of the work a direct correlation to how much it weighed! It wasn't until my sister gave me a certificate for a scrapbooking class that I realized that scrapbooks come in all shapes and sizes. That was February 2003 - the adventure began and I haven't looked back since. My little scrapbooking hobby grew to include cards and then stamping - I love it all. Now I have the absolute pleasure of sharing my hobby with all of you. Who could ask for a better job?

In honor of National Scrapbooking Month:
