When I moved here with my husband, I did not know how to drive, did not have a lot of friends, and was a little culture shocked. My husband encouraged me to find a hobby that I could fill my time with. I went to the craft store and instantly fell in love with scrapbooking. This helped me arrange my pictures in a presentable manner with added journaling on the side. It was the perfect hobby for me. After 7 years of living in Ohio, a few babies in tow, many scrapbook pages in between blogging later, I still frequent the craft department of any store I visit. I still love developing the old-style film and cropping, cutting and embellishing them by hand. I love the feel of the stickiness of glue and palying with different layouts until wee hours of the night. Will you join me in this scrapbook adventure? May this be an inspiration for you to start doing something about the pile of pictures sitting inside a shoe box.

Here is my very first scrapbook page:

Have a great day!
