Scrap for you

Sometimes you have to look back and remember why you scrapbook. Yes, there is the wanting to keep you history for other generations, wanting to get the story on paper for others, also wanting to just put names to photos. But there is also the purely selfish part. You know the one I'm talking about...

The one that we love to hear from people how great the page is and the one that we hear "I wish I could do that". Gasp...did I just say that outloud? I know, we aren't supposed to admit it. But, I'm humble, I know I don't rock the scrapbook world. I just rock my immediate world and I'm super ok with that.

See I get better as my friends and family adore my pages. I want to scrap more as my friends and family ooh and ahh over my pages. This is ok, this is human, and I'm not a good liar so it works.

Besides confidence you need to remember any other reasons why you scrapbook. There are usually many. One other big one for me is to get away with the girls. I love my weekend retreats with my best friends. Then there is just the awesome day crops that I get away with them. There are reasons that quilting bees used to be so popular. Looking back I think it was the simple fact that they got to get away from everyone and everything with no guilt. Guilt is our enemy. We are worth our craft!
