    I’ve made a mini-book of the layouts that help tell the story of why I scrapbook :-) I had such fun with this, thank you so much! x

    The blog post that tells the story and shows the mini-book is here

  9. Alison-lee Says:

    I’ve started my mini book, cover all done, pages covered just got to fill it now with why!

  10. wendy high Says:

    This is for anyone…How big are your pages?

  11. Christina Says:

    I scrapbook because … I have become someone I never expected. This is not meant to be interpreted as a bad thing. I am someone I never expected.

    Thank you for your beauty and your beautiful inspiration.

    I follow it even as I don’t worry about expressing myself in the most winning way. I just am.

    And that is why I am a scrapbooker.

  46. Steph Says:

    Here is my post. I hope it made the deadline. It’s still the 31st of Jan in my neck of the woods!

  47. Carolyn Phillips Says:

    I’ve had problems submitting a comment…tried twice last night and it said waiting to be moderated, but there are new comments since then so trying again. I may be after the deadline niw but I wasn’t when I tried last night, honest. :) My blog entry is timestamped well in time.

    Even if it is past the deadline I had fun pulling this together and it was good to think about why I do this and put it into words.
