I love to scrapbook – my scrapbooking passion was born out of a desire to put together a heritage scrapbook of all the pictures I found hidden away in my aunt and uncle’s house after their death. Most of the pictures had absolutely no information on them so it made it very difficult for me to find the information I so desperately desired in order to journal. I went on a quest to find information and have completed a lot of pages with details that I got from neighbors – family friends and some relatives but I am really not sure if it is correct as none of the above listed people could really tell me for a fact that they knew who the subjects were in the pictures.
The above is why it is so important whether you scrapbook or not to at least write the names of the people, date and events on the back of each of your pictures that you are going to be putting away in a shoebox or trunk for some future generation to find.
Traditional scrapping with ScrapMuse Kit – with just a touch of digital:
It was a two page scrapbook, so here is the other side – also I have to say that my grandson is normal – he is just very happy. This was his parenting class. I helped him make his baby – it is made from a sack of flour and pantyhose. Also his baby is wearing some of his baby clothes and he borrowed a baby carrier from a friend.
And I actually made these pictures too small, so I will have to fix that, I think.

A layout of Miss Tootsi, Miss Tootsi is a very long story, so I will make it short, I am always looking for old diaries that people have kept, I was looking through some junk at a flea market one day and came across a box of Miss Tootsi’s life – I scrapped the one page of her and then sold the box on Ebay as I cannot start collecting those type of items also – I have too much other stuff – but I really enjoy finding the old journals or diaries – those I will keep for myself if I am ever lucky enough to find one.
