So, while knitting is a relatively socially acceptably crafty hobby at this point, I am not sure scrapbooking is there. I will admit that I carry my knitting into professional meetings, but I don't flash around the fact that I scrapbook. It's not cool. No, really, it's not. Ok, perhaps you were not actually arguing with me. Oh well.
Anyhow, I just returned from a trip to the Salt Lake City area, and I was excited to go (for a work conference) in large part because I thought it was a trip to the promised land of scrapbooking. Sad to say, the national epidemic of store-closing seems to have hit SLC just like everywhere else, so I went to an Archiver's and Pebbles in my Pocket, bought what I thought wouldn't get bent too badly in the overhead bin, and went sight-seeing instead. My Project Life spread from this week is pretty much all about the trip:
Now, if scrapbooking is uncool, Project Life must be double plus uncool. For non-scrapbookers, it is scrapbooking. For scrapbookers, it is just sticking photos in pockets. Where is the art? Where is the craft? Like my kids care. They don't. Anyhow, for you slack crafters out there, you can do this. Yes you can. Round some photo corners, print out some cards explaining what is in said photos, call it a day in twenty minutes. Do it once a week. At the end of the year, you have a big fat album documenting what you did all year, in the order that you did it. You are welcome.
