REVIEW on MONTH 3: Scrapbooking

I've printed so many photos and have collected so many scrapbooking "add-ins" like ticket stubs, brochures, business cards, postcards, etc. that the scrapbooks have been long overdue. I sorted and arranged about 4 different books, from our travels last year, to my blog events, to family events, etc. It was just crazy!!! And it took me about 5 hours to put a lot of it together. I'm still not completely done, but I feel like the scrapbooking fun is never over because so many new memories are made everyday, and so many new photos are taken everyday to remember those moments. I love photos. Most are of only good happy moments 'cause who likes taking photos or collecting something that creates a bad memory or feeling in them? Usually photos only represent the fun times, unlike certain smells or sounds/songs that can trigger both good and bad moments of your lives. That's why I enjoy to put so much love in the scrapbooks. It helps me remember to stay positive and optimistic and really love life and all the moments in life. Because you only get one chance at it. Better make it the best!

P.S. No photos this time to post. All of them are in my books!!!

TTFN!
