I think I have always made scrapbooks, I just had not realized it until now.   Before looking up the term "scrapbooking" on the net, I was going to write in this section that I had never done it before. But once I read "pasting newspaper clippings, magazine articles, photos..." I had a vivid flash of my own weight loss journals.  I started making them as a teenager, not pasting pictures of myself, but pasting pictures of what I would like to achieve, and even the foods that I would love to eat (carrots, tomatoes, low fat recipes, etc.)

Of course the art of the scrapbook journal has evolved enormously these past years. The stuff I see in the magazines is AMAZING. Now there is not only the paper scrapbook but the "digital" scrapbook.  I started looking for resources recently, and if I've ever thought this site was not useful, my searches told me otherwise.  There is so MUCH JUNK out there.  Everyone trying to sell you stuff, and no one actually giving you good information.

Now the latest trend in Scrabpooking are Scrabpooking Retreats and Getaways.
