My former, conniving, backstabbing sister-in-law was. Thus, I despise it.

Choose a specific thing to book first. As in, make a scrapbook maybe of a show you like, or childhood memories, or certain friends, etc.. My first scrapbook I tried to do everything in one and it was a freakin mess.

And have fun! I love scrapbooking. I really do. If you're using real pictures though, make sure you have two copies so that way you can keep one in a safer place.

well mine isn't really going to have a "theme"... i was at a friend's house today and she showed me these scrapbooks she made and is continuing to make... she makes one every year and just puts everything from that year in it.
they were amazing to look at beacuse i didn't know her before this past year and it was really neat to kind of get to know her through those books.

i will keep that in mind about the pictures though.

I scrapbook. I have a scrapbook of all the shows I've done, which I love. I don't do everything in my life though. That's way too much. I take too many pictures. I like to start by going to the scrapbook store and picking out a bunch of stuff I like. Stickers and die cuts and stuff.

OH I SEE! Ok, yeah I make those kind too. My only suggestion for that is always start as early as possible. Yours might be years as in Scrapbook 2007, but I do it for the school year, and then the summer, but I bet it's the same kind of thing, because one year I started really late and it was hard to go back and remember what happened at what time.

I love scrapbooks. They will be SOOOO nice to look at in a few years. My mom keep boxes for each of her children. That's a good idea too.

this first one will probably start now since i haven't saved everything from the previous months. i have some important things (ticket stubs, playbills, photos, the unfortunate obituary) but i hadn't planned on making a book so i hadn't saved much.

i'll have to go look at what they have for stickers. i made a scrapbook a few years ago just of a trip to nyc.. it was nice... it had photos and ticket stubs and luggage tags and i bought fancy papers to use are backgrounds.
