So I was told I have a stupid, pointless hobby today. Do you know how incredibly miffed that made me? I got red in the face and completely ticked, pointless my foot! Scrapbooking, wether traditional or digital, is a time honored memory preservation technique.

Digital scrapbooking has brought the traditions to everyone and gave it new life. I have not seen such a diverse set of people scrapbook as I do in digital scrapbooking communities, all age groups and both sexes alike. You would never have been able to convince me a year ago that men were just as avid a scrapper as women.

From children to great-grandparents, I have seen stunning works of art created with treasured family heirlooms from all who dabble in this so-called pointless hobby. How can art of any variety be called stupid and pointless?

Pictures will be my families legacy hundreds of years from now, with time passing and faces fading away, pictures will be our memories. With scrapbooking you not only capture the look, you can capture the esense of the moment by adding your thoughts and actions of that moment for all who come after your gone.

To me scrapbooking is not a hobby, it is history in the making. On that note I will say goodnight to you all, I have another long week ahead of me. Well, kiss those babies everyone.
