I got sucked in after my wedding and am currently still working on Ty's scrapbook of showers and birth--not even his first year yet. So far I've converted my mother, my mother-in-law, my husband's aunt, and am currently working on my sister-in-law. Who says she doesn't scrapbook.

Ohhhhhh, how well I can relate! <BR/><BR/>I have always kept scrapbooks, too, which were mostly decorated with my own doodling around the edges and whatnot. I got into scrapbooking the real way when my daughter was little, too. It’s so irresistible! But it amazes me how the craft has become such a competitive, multi-billion dollar industry in the last few years. I used to subscribe to two scrapping magazines but quit because it’s become so waaaaaay overdone. These woman, god-love-em, have way too much time on their hands. <BR/><BR/>And it’s true, when I started designing our family tree website it turned into the same kind of obsession. “Should I go with the mauve wallpapered background and gold metallic buttons or the blue provincial background and rooster buttons?” Good Lord. I’d be up til 2 am some nights working on it. I’m in therapy now and doing well, thanks.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12506207484517033655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1158932481205854692006-09-22T08:41:00.000-05:002006-09-22T08:41:00.000-05:00I can relate to a bunch of that! (being good at specific instructions but lacking confidence in freestyle creativity; getting obsessed with getting it "just right"). My mother-in-law is an avid scrapbooker. She's currently working on our wedding scrapbook. This is a good excuse for me not to do it (though I will admit I kind of want to do a digital one...)Kat Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07869216269199415760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1158900251930870442006-09-21T23:44:00.000-05:002006-09-21T23:44:00.000-05:00I've never gotten into scrapbooking but that's the exact same feelings I had for when I was designing and maintaining our website. I haven't picked it back up again because I know I'd spend way too much time getting everything just right to only redo a week later because I didn't like one little thing. <BR/><BR/>I definetely feel your pain. <BR/>I know my sister is an avid scrapbooking and can probably commiserate more with you on her obbession then I can. <BR/><BR/>My advice...don't ever step foot in the store again! :)annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290107042352596328noreply@blogger.com
