Why scrapbook? What is the value?
Leave your History. Scrapbooking is a wonderful gift to leave your children, grandchildren and your grandchildren’s children. Like quilting, scrapbooking is a piece of yourself and memorializes your life.
Provide a story with the photos. How many times do you look at old pictures and wonder when and where they were taken, what was going on or who is in the photos? Unless you had a super organized family member, there are not always dates and names on the backs of the pictures. You can provide the story with the photos. Therapy. Everyone needs some "Me" time. Scrapbooking is a great outlet, whether you think you are creative or not, and gives you time to reminisce. Your time and energy is expended on a project that you and future generations will enjoy and appreciate.

Give a gift. You don't need to scrapbook for yourself. You can make a mini-album of an event or holiday for a friend or family member. They will enjoy it and you may find you like scrapbooking enough to get your photos printed, organized and placed in albums.
