The Benefits of Scrapbooking:

Photographs and memories go hand-in-hand. However, having just photos in and album leaves so many questions unanswered for those who were not there to experience those memories. Generations to come will inevitably become the caretakers of these cherished memories. They'll pick up a handful of photos to look at and believe that somehow they will miraculously know who that tall, sullen man was in relation to him or her self. Who was that young couple who look so happy on what appears to be their wedding day? A precious moment in time captured on film is left to chance by the imagination of the onlooker. Who was that? I wonder when this photograph was taken. As you look into the eyes of person in the portrait you begin to wonder what life must have been like for them.

We all have a natural curiosity of wanting to know where we come from. By learning of our past we learn who we are in the present. This feeling of knowing gives us a sense of security by grounding us and keeping us connected to our heritage. Weaving your photographs and memories together in colorful tapestry of paper, glue and thoughtfulness in the form of scrap booking fills in the blanks for those who will come after you. For as long as photographs have existed there have been tales to go with them, passed on from generation to generation. Busy lives leave us overworked and too tired to remember the telling of years gone by. And if by chance the story telling lives on, time and life's events tend to change the meaning of those stories. Scrap booking documents these stories and immortalizes them.

Placing a single snapshot on a page with names, dates, a bit of history along with embellishments gives new life and an eternal means by which to tell a story of a person or a family. Scrapbook pages donning masterful themes can bring to life the spirit of its creator. Blurbs and descriptions give new meaning to an event giving you concrete evidence of the past and more especially the feelings and emotions of those in the photographs. The benefits of scrap booking are vast and simple. Regaling or celebrating a life event in the form of paper, scraps and shinny fasteners will undoubtedly leave a treasured gift for those who hold dear the milestones and history and of our ancestors.
