Why I Scrapbook...

Why I scrapbook? That can be a loaded question.

The thought of scrapbooking emerged while I was pregnant a few years back, sitting home watching home shopping network and if you know me I am an impulse shopper. I ordered a bunch of stuff and no clue what to do with it. Eventually it all ended up under my bed because I had a baby to take care of.

Fast forward almost 2 years and I made a new friend who likes scrapbooking. Also, my local Rag Shop was going out of business and again being an impulse shopper bought out almost all of their scrapbooking supplies.

I finally started and now I am totally addicted.

Scrapbooking keeps my mind occupied and keeps my juices flowing. I never thought I had a creative bone in my body until now. It's funny how things change... I couldn't draw a straight line before and now look what I can do.

My husband is in the restaurant business and comes home late at night and works weekends so once the baby goes to bed I am all alone. Instead of dwelling on being lonely I sit at my dinning room table and scrapbook. It makes me happy. The feeling of accomplishment once a layout is done is such a great feeling. And knowing that the current layout is better than the previous is a feeling of success and that is why I want to share my work with others.

Don't get me wrong, I am not the best, far from it, but I think I am pretty good considering.

I have yet to show you all of my layouts, there are plenty, hopefully in time I will be able to share them all.

So this passion has made me a shopaholic for scrapping supplies. You name it, I most likely have it. And I am the type of person, who when I find a bargain or a great new item, I buy more than one so I can share with fellow scrappers.

I am still battling the organization of all my supplies. I have space issues so it is a never ending battle. I hope to one day have my own room dedicated to scrapbooking.

Happy scrapping!
