Simple scrapbooking
Innovative ideas for making memories last
It's also about being imaginative, creative, resourceful and having fun.
Is it any wonder that the latest statistics show about one in four American households participates in scrapbooking in some form? Or that scrapbookers now have their own day?
Saturday has been set aside as National Scrapbooking Day, a time to "celebrate and promote the importance of preserving memories," according to the National Scrapbooking Association, which also notes that "scrapbooking is a hobby for everyone because everyone has memories they wish to preserve and even share with others. This common bond is strong, especially among those who add creativity and craft to their precious memories."
To commemorate National Scrapbooking Day, scrapbook stores and suppliers will be offering demonstrations, specials and other activities, including Scrabook USA Expo at the South Towne Expo Center. Check with your local stores or visit www.nationalscrapbookingday.com for ideas.
