Scrapbooking is a community. A group of women and sometimes men who come together to work on scrapbooks. It's like an old fashioned quilting bee. We put our pictures down into memory albums and tell the stories that go along with those pictures and memorabilia.
Is the community of scrapbookers held together by the adhesives and glue we use? I don't think so. Our community is held together by the bonds and friendships we make as we sit alongside each other and scrapbook. The stories we tell and memories we share of our life and our children's lives bring us together as friends. Sometimes our stories may be happy and sometimes they may be sad and bring us to tears.
We come together with many differences and many backgrounds. But our main goal is to be our families historian. We all want to make sure our stories are told. We don't want the story to be lost as time goes on.
As an active scrapbooker and Creative Memories Consultant I have met and shared in the beautiful lives of many scrapbookers. I love hearing the stories and having people share their priceless pictures with me. A community I love to be a part of and probably will be forever.
