Why Scrapbook

It's easy to scoff at scrapbooking and sometimes less easy to explain why so many people still make time to do it, whether traditional paper scrapbooking or digital.

Personally, I think there are two strands to it.

The first are the immediate benefits: the creative outlet, the satisfaction and the fact it is almost a form of meditation as you not only create but also relive the memories that you are documenting.

There are longer term benefits too: telling the stories you want your family to remember, making your kids feel loved and important by documenting their lives and also leaving a legacy.
