One of my favorite lines is "rather than have them stand idle"...Pleased to see that the boring tomes got a new lease on life!

My niece and great niece (or is it grand niece) are, in their words, avid scrappers. I wish Samuel Clemens was around to invent a way to lessen my use of the f word while on the computer.

Thank you. I knew that scrapbooks had been popular, but not how varied they were, or of the kinds of people who made them. Today we have the huge success of scrapbooking with workshops and classes and, of course, many accessories and supplies for sale. What are folks saving? My guess is that they are mostly interested in their own families. Not much more. I could be wrong, but they seem a bit narcissistic, although passed down through generations, narcissism becomes history. And now we have Pinterest, which also has as many uses as there are pinners to create them. Fascinating. Thank you.
