Keeping It Real or Finding The inspiration To Start

by Teresa McClary

If you preserve memories and moments through pictures and pages, you
are a scrapbooker. You do not have to be a designer, creative artist,
or published in magazines. If you are capturing your memories and those
of your family through a medium like photography and journaling, and
you are preserving those moments with traditional albums, photo albums,
digital photo books, slideshows, or videos, you are a scrapbooker.
Perhaps for the sake of argument, memory maker or historian is a more
accurate term.
