simply-crafting

Today as I started to clean out my craft room and all my supplies I came across some of the older pictures of the kids.  So instead of continuing to clean I started to sort through pictures.  I have to say that this is probably the funnest part of scrapbooking for me.

I just love looking at pictures from days gone by.  I love looking at the pictures and then sitting back and letting the memories flood over.  Don’t get me wrong, I love all aspects of scrapbooking, but I would have to say my favorite part would be sorting through the pictures.

Well so far on this blog I have discussed my jewelry making hobby and my knitting hobby. So I thought today I would tell you all about my scrapbooking hobby. Even when scrapbooking first came out, I wasn’t really interested in learning a new craft so I didn’t pay too much attention to the whole thing. Then both my parents passed away in the same year and all I had to remember them by was pictures. So I asked my brothers for all the pictures. I put them all away for about a year and then decided that it was about time to do something with them. So instead of just throwing them in a traditional album, I decided that I needed to learn how to scrapbook. It was then that the scrapbooking bug hit me and I’ve never looked back.

Since that time, I have started (yeah, I procrastinate a lot) three scrapbooks. One for each of the kids. And I have plans of doing two others. One for my husband and one for myself. This type of craft can be very expensive if you want all the embellishments and stuff so this is part of the reason why I haven’t finished any scrapbooks yet (except my parent’s). But I’m sure the bug will hit me again and I’ll be back at it. I know I really should as all the pictures are starting to pile up and I really should do something with them.
