Scrapbooking has become one of the biggest hobbies in America and overseas! It's become so popular that scrapbook supply stores have been popping up on the streets, online - everywhere! There are so many different things that you can do with a scrapbook; there is no telling where you could begin or stop! I have gotten into it myself (creating scrapbooks for my two daughters). Let me tell you, I am far from a crafty artsy-type, person. However, once I got those albums, stickers, pens, brads, and everything else in my hands, I was instantly hooked! I absolutely love it and my kids love seeing their pictures and memories put together in their own creative books. It's a fantastic hobby, and it's just so much fun. I especially love the rub-on stencils. What a great invention!

While going through a closet that is used mostly just to stash stuff that I don't know where to store, I came upon a large box of old photos and documents that have been handed down through the generations and have ended up with me. I feel guilty that I hoard it all and never really get around to making digital copies so that if anything ever happens to damage them, I will at least have a digital record to share with my family and distant relatives. I'm not the only one in this predicament either. More and more people are becoming interested in their family's genealogical history and are trying to organize and document the many items handed down through the generations that end up in an attic or storage unit. Despite our best efforts, we just never get around to scanning in all those piles of historical photos and important family documents. This is where you can be the hero and save the day!
