It’s my scrappy Saturday today (depending on what time zone you are in) and since it’s Easter tomorrow I have a little sumpin’  for you digiscrappers out there. I love diaries. I love journals and I love writing. I’ve been journaling for years now and I got into scrapbooking  around 1998-99 when I got married. I didn’t have a lot of pictures of myself growing up and the few that I had were starting to fade already. Yup it’s sad and  I didn’t want my family most especially my kids to grow up with nothing to look back to as well.  My solution –  journaling with pictures. In short, scrapbooking! 

I first learned about scrapbooking when we lived in AZ.  I was into decorative painting back then and I stumbled upon it. I’ve been hooked ever since. Addiction is a mild term to describe my relationship with it.  Every weekend, my husband would drop me off at the local craft store and I would spend the whole afternoon going thru each aisle in search of that perfect paper or embellishment. If I skipped an aisle, I had to go back and check it out again.  I’d clip coupons and wait for dollar days just to get a good deal on scrap supplies. They didn’t have TIVO then but I would make sure I got to watch all the craft shows just to see if they had something on scrapbooking. Talk about needing an addiction treatment! 

I started out as a traditional paper scrapper, switched to digiscrapping  and now I’m thinking of trying to incorporate both by doing hybrid. Now for the fun part, I have a little giftie for you digiscrappers out there for Easter.  It’s not much though but it’s my first freebie ever so be kind.  Just visit my scrap blog right here to get this.

Happy Easter everyone!
