WELCOME to the World of Scrapbooking
WHY scrapbook? Well first, it’s fun and allows you to tap into your creative side. Second, it’s productive. It forces you to get organized by going through photos and discarding those that you no longer want thereby decreasing your clutter. Above all, scrapbooks tell stories of lives through photos and journaling. As you look back at finished albums, you can relive those precious moments. Sometimes those moments pass so quickly, it’s nice to go back and relive them. These albums can then be passed on to future generations to be cherished forever.

Thanks for reading. Please leave a comment.
Never knew that this is so elaborate. Great site and lots of information.
Scrapbooking is what you make it. Some people do get really elaborate. I think the story is more important than the art but that’s just a personal preference. Thanks for stopping in, Rudi. 🙂
Wow Debbi, you really have put together a great website! It’s very easy to navigate through, and is so informative…..Well done!! :))
Thank you, Glen. I hope to see you again. ~Debbi
Man, at the comments. It took me a minute just to get down here to tell you how wonderful you are. I love scrapbooking, and I am in love with your website.
I have bookmarked it and will be going over all your contributions to make our lives better as I find time.
Somehow I know I will find time for this site and always for you, my friend.
Like I have told you before, I love your style and that beautiful smile on that handsome face somehow is bleeding through your writings.
You are a forever friend

LOL. Thank you, Col Scott. I love scrapbooking and I think it’s an important part of maintaining the family roots. It’s a way of reliving the good times. Thanks for stopping by, my dear. You’re always welcome.
Hi Debbi – What a beautiful website! Kudos on your development and success with it. I kept scrapbooks during my tween and teen years, but have forgotten about their value since then. It’s a terrific pursuit for people of any age who want to save and share their memories. I’ll be back!
Thanks for stopping, Carol. I seem to be the historian of the family. With so many people tracing their ancestry now, I think scrapbooks can assist. Please DO stop again.
Debbi, this is a very nice site.
Yes, I believe there is a weapon against racing time in this valuable way of reliving it!
Thanks so much for this work!
Love,
Therese
Thank you, Therese. This is truly a wonderful hobby and I love it. I’ve been out making too many memories so it needs updating but thank you for coming by! ~Debbi
Hi Debbi,
I don’t know anything about scrap-booking, have been interested in photography for many years. I do believe I could start scrap-booking now after going through your site.
From what I am witnessing here you love helping people.
I also can see in my mind how organized you are. keep up the great work.
Bruce
Bruce,
Thank you for stopping. To me, photography and scrapbooking go hand in hand. You want to be able to show people the photos you’ve taken in an “unboring” way. My biggest thing is leaving the trail for my kids. I don’t have a lot of photos of me growing up. I made books for each of my kids and I was really surprised at how much my boys enjoyed them. So, ask Nike says, JUST DO IT. I’d be happy to answer any questions for you. ~Debbi
Very nicely done…lots of vibrant colors and the content is laid out really well. It almost makes me want to start scrap-booking but that was something wife #1 liked to do, so I can’t bring myself back into those kinda memories. LOL! Anyway, I salute your efforts and your organization skills. Best of luck to you in your success!
Dennis
Dennis, I understand your hesitation to scrapbook. I hate looking back at some of my memories as well. LOL. So many of us have “exs” don’t we? You don’t have to get fancy. It’s more about organizing photos in an attractive way so when you look back, you can remember that hiking trip, or kayaking or…….
Thank you for stopping by.
~Debbi
Really nice visit to the other side of my brain. Thanks and Happy New Year. I also enjoy being retired. Now maybe I can do some work on myself.
Bye,
Bill
Bill, Being retired is great except the pay isn’t as good as when I was working. lol. Life is all a balance. Thanks for stopping by. ~Debbi
Hi Debbi ,
It is a great idea ,I loved what you are planned to do .we are waiting to your scrapbooking.
Ali
Thank you, Ali. It’s a hobby from the heart. Thank you for stopping by. ~Debbi
Very Lovely website and information..
It just made it place within my favorites 😉
Good luck,
Hana,
Thank you so much, Hana. I really need to get it updated but I’ve been off making more memories.
Thanks for visiting my website and commenting. I really appreciate it. You have agreat blog.
Congratulations.
Hector
Thank you back. I’m hoping to visit one day and be able to create some scrapbooking pages of my adventures. ~Debbi
I admire your how crafty you are. My grandmother always creates scrapbooks and I always enjoy looking at them. I also really like how how are saying to relax. Some people get overwhelmed if there is a lot of work ahead of them.
I’ll be sure to show my Grandmother this site so she can get valuable insight.
Thank you for stopping by, Chris. They can be a lot of work, but they’re SO worth it. I have a list of requests a mile long so I guess people do like the results but afraid to conquer one on their own. It’s one of the reasons I created this site — to take away the fear.
Debbi, What a great gift scrapbooking is, for the maker and recipient! Youngsters really benefit by feeling love from there parents through their parents scrapbooking them baby books. These books get looked at many times as a child grows. Thank you for sharing your gifts through your site! ,Joe
Joe, Thanks for stopping by. I found that while there are still some hold outs, many men enjoy looking at scrapbooks and reliving the memories. It’s a great way to bring a family together.
Hi,
I have never tried scrapbooking but may give it a try since I have many articles associated with having raised two sons. I really have enjoyed looking through your site.
Keep up the great work!
Regards,
Donna
Donna, Surprisingly boys love scrapbooks (who knew). They’re a great way to look back and talk about those old memories — even with girlfriends. Do it for you AND them. Enjoy. Debbi
Debbi, you’ve got a nice, fun place to visit here. Keep at it and thanks for the Follow on WA!
Thank you for visiting. It’s something I really enjoy doing. Come back anytime. ~Debbi
I really love your site. So beautifully done. All the info. Nice work.Will bookmark it.
Thank You, Angela. I hope you come back often and try some of the tips. ~Debbi
Hi Debbi,
I have not make a scrapbook before. Thanks to your post, I now decide to make one.
It is an excellent idea. It doesn’t have to be just photos. I thought I will include some of my valuable experience, words of wisdom, inspirational words in the book. So my children and grand-children can learn from this book. Also they will be able to know what kind of person I am.
I will writing a chapter in the book and tell them who to be a good human being.
Many thanks for your wonderful article.
Cheers,
MisterWailor
Mister Wailor,
That is an EXCELLENT idea. It doesn’t have to be all photos. The objective is just to pass on your history through photos and/or words of wisdom. I use photos, memorabilia (for example ticket stubs) and journal a lot of my thoughts or emotions. I’m so glad I could help you. ~Debbi
I love your site. How relaxing. I like your profile. I was a Analysis for a while. My brain would not cooperate with my desire to do that work. so I scooted into Underwriting. In there I did not have to find those dang pennies. You guys are special, believe me I know. Linda McCoy
Oh, but there is such joy when you FIND that penny! LOL. Photography and scrapbooking were always a nice balance to my work life. After all, life is all about balance and moderation, right? ~Debbi
Debbi, I think your website is beautiful, informative and just plain fun. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, Phil.
What a lovely site you have here! I have never tried scrapbooking, but now I’m really tempted. Would definitely be good to get all those pictures in order. Thanks for the reminder, Kristina
Once you try it, you might become addicted. 🙂
Awesome blog on scrapbooking which has given me a great idea that never even crossed my mind.
Since you mentioned photos, I just realized I’ve got hundreds of them hidden away, so a scrapbook maybe a good excuse to organize them better 🙂
Thanks for the idea.
Neil
Helping you to spark your own creative ideas is part of my job. When you’re creating, there is nothing that is wrong. I’m so happy I could help. Don’t leave a box of photos behind that are meaningless without the story and names to go with them. ~Debbi
Love your website, I’ve never done scrap booking but feel like trying it now! 🙂
Thank You, Kathy. I hope you do give it a shot. It’s a creative as well as from the heart project. You can’t do it wrong. ~Debbi
I really like your site Debbie. I think your blogs and comments are insightful and easy to follow and read. Everything looks nice and neat! I like your color scheme throughout! I mean this sincerely as I either forget to put address or captcha code so this is my third try! Your site is worth my tiny effort. Well done Debbie!
Edmund, thank you so much for your kind remarks AND your continuous attempts. They are appreciated. Can you tell I love color? LOL Please visit again sometime. ~Debbi
Edmund, Thank you so much for your feedback. Your effort is VERY much appreciated by the way. 🙂 Come back anytime. ~Debbi
Debra,
You have taken such a simple concept and really gave it a worthy makeover.
You really hit a warm spot for most folks, and offer some wonderful alternatives to the mundane.
Great job, thanks for all the neat information.
My best,
Gary
Gary,
Thanks you so much. This means a lot coming from a man. I shouldn’t be surprised though. I made my son a book for his 40th birthday from the time I was 9 mos pregnant with him to his 40th. It was about 700 photos and he loved it. It was hard to convince him afterwards that he was adopted because I wasn’t old enough to have a son that old. LOL.
Debbi
I love your website Debbi. I now have a new found place to follow for my art catch up with my niece over weekend. This is really awesome!
Thank You, Jhen. Kids do like to do this stuff. I’m adding albums next. Come back.
Debbi
Love this website. I’m always trying to balance my daughter’s play between the screen and actual hands on craft activities (uses different parts of the brain, right?) This has inspired me to go out and buy her a scrapbook… Thanks!
It’s a great activity for kids. It not only teaches them to be creative, but use some logic as well. I still have books I made as a child.
I share your passion for scrapbooking, and I enjoy your site! Nice job! I love being inspired by other peoples layouts! I’ll be back!
Hi Debbi,
What a great site. I am not a scrapbooking person but your website inspires me to want to start and see where it takes me. Thank you for all the great tips.
Jill
Thank You. Let me know when we can start.
Your site is lovely! I love all the ideas too!
Thank You.
Your website is beautiful.
I love the red. Very inviting.
I will have to bookmark your site so I can visit back.
Asking questions are truly pleasant thing if you are not understanding anything entirely, but this paragraph
provides nice understanding yet.
Sharing your passion. Love scrapbooking. I’ll gets things out again, been over 4 months I haven’t touch my stuffs, miss it a little.
Love your site, very simple and there is so many ideas you can get from your site. Can’t wait to start scrapbooking again.

Nice website Debbi. I’m going to bookmark for future reference.
Awesome niche for a website. I love scrapbooking. Seems I never have the time though. Perhaps I will get inspiration from this site. Cheers and Peace and all that Jazz. Tina
Hello, I enjoy reading all of your post. I wanted to write a
little comment to support you.
Feel free to surf to my web page :: kay jewelers
The site looks great! Lots of helpful tips and ideas, even for a busy mom like me! I’m more in the stage of “acquiring & saving” my photos to one day be put in a book. Or maybe, I can just send them all to you to do!! 😉
Thanks Deb.
Going into that closet next, so the photos are all yours!!!
Let’s scrap them!!!!!
Sorry for the text in my previous comment. I meant to say your site has inspired me to finish some albums I started.
