My hobby-for-life began around 2002 when my best friend introduced me to a scrapbook store. All it took were stickers that represented an upcoming vacation and that was all she wrote. It has broadened my life in many ways by opening the doors of communication between me and my family (including my husband) with photo-taking and journaling many aspects of our lives. The fringe benefit has been the friendships that have come-to-be as a result of this hobby.
I celebrate all those moments in my scrapbook pages and projects.
