Scrapper turns Blogger

This is my first attempt at being a blogger, and I am hoping this will be a useful and rewarding venture for me and anyone who might choose to take a peek at my scrapping life. Since it is blazing hot here, all that indoor time means I should be able to get some scrapping done!

While I began scrapbooking as a way to preserve photos for the future, the ART of scrapbooking took over and now it takes me longer than ever. My ultimate goal is to assure that the collection of photos in my photo closet (yes, not a box or boxes, but a whole closet) are able to be passed on to the future with at least some identification of who, what, and where. 

I decided to start the blog to share what I am doing, and hopefully inspire others to get those old photos out of shoeboxes and into safe, archival storage. At the same time, use photos to make attractive and compelling pieces so the story of the photos can be shared. A scrapbook without photos is just a pretty book.
