When did you start scrapbooking?

Hello!!

I have a theory that people only start scrapping when they have kiddies!!

I started recently so i could show off pics of Ryley!!

My Mum and Sister got me started when I was pregnant with Gemma.They gave me a huge supply of stuff so I could get started before she was born.To be honest I wasn't at all interested at first!But I love it now!

I don't have kids and started a few years ago. I still love doing it but must say pages with kids are so much fun.

My Mum has been scrapbooking for years.. I sware she is obsessed. Anyway, this christmas she sent me a huge box full of supplies. I never really had any interest, because i thought i had no "reason" to do it really. But now that im expecting number 1, i now have my "reason"! Plus, i have been feeling pretty arty-farty lately. Must be all those preggy hormones.

I started 5yrs ago with an album of my wedding photos. I had the professional album (as you do) and then scrapped all of the photos guests took & gave me.

Pietta · January 6th, 2006, 01:59 PM

Oh Sarah that would have been a great idea!!

I think i might do a whole album of my wedding!!

Dr Phil says all parents need "a passion" and when I heard this I realised that I needed a new hobby: away from the kids, away from the puter and away from work and I craved something a bit arty farty creative.......

So I rang a local scrapbooking company, help a class at my house, and now me and my best GF's get together once a fortnight to scrap and yap and stictch and *****.......we all have babies of a similar age, so it is the best way I know of being able to adore your kids whilst they are sleeping peacefully!!!

Sorry Pee - I ruin your theory too

. I started scrapbooking about 5 years ago, after a holiday to New Zealand.

But I'm really looking forward to scrapbooking my babies one day .... hopefully by the time I have them, I'll have refined my scrapbooking techniques so that I don't have to throw out too many pages LOL.
