You hit the nail on the head Deb- my reasons for scrapping exactly. I saw a thing on one of those current affairs shows where the mum had died leaving the dad and 5 kids but while she was sick she made each of the kids a scrapbook, with messages to them from her, they were just beautiful and would be the most precious gift she could ever have given her young kids, to be able o tell them stories forever and she wasn't around. makes me so sad and tears are welling up in my eyes, makes me think I better get my arse moving so I get mine done in time.
