"I am too busy living life"

These words flow from some individuals when the conversation of scrapbooking comes up.  Have you ever been the recipient?  It is usually received with a bit of a guilt sting, as if one were wasting life while archiving it.  

I have always adored photos and photo albums.  It was a favorite thing for me to go to the server where we kept our albums and pour through them.  When visiting my grandmother, I would pick up her familiar mini albums and browse.  To me, this art is never a waste if someone will enjoy looking through them now or in the future.  

As I prepare for my son's graduation, I am actually using the scrapbooks I have made as part of my "decorating."  (I will share pics in a future post) If guests wish to look through the scrapbooks, that's awesome.  I have too many times talked about being "behind" in my scrapbooking.  Tonight, I decided to bury that complaint.  I have plenty of archived moments.  There are many pages that I love.  And this is the perfect time for me to allow others to enjoy.
