When did you first start scrapping? I have scrapbooks I made as a young teen. My first scrapbook is actually from my first trip to Disney in 1974. Just photos and cut-outs from brochures and pamphlets that were taped and glued into a craftpaper scrapbook. Journaling done in ballpoint pen.
What got you started? Well... I've always been a nut about "remembering" and "preserving memories". I started what we would consider "modern" scrapbooking when DD was born in 1995.
Why do you scrap? So my kids can remember their childhood... so people years from now know what our lives were like. I would give lots of $ to have a scrapbook from when my grandfather was a kid..... or a teen, or even a young adult.
Do you make simple or complex pages? Mostly simple. Pictures, mats, titles, journaling, and a touch of something "extra". That is usually about it.
Do you like your handwriting? Nope, hate it. But I have been forcing myself to include in occasionally.
If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Easy..... PINK!!
What is your favorite scrap snack? I tend to NOT eat when scrapping. If I were out scrapping somewhere I would want something neat and light... it would be too easy to eat mindlessly while working. Usually I keep a drink handy though... iced coffee or seltzer in the summer, coffee or tea this time of year.
What place would you like to visit and scrap about? The list is SO LONG! Probably number one on my list is Austria... has been a dream of mine since I fell in love with The Sound of Music in 4th grade. Second would be to see the Egyptian pyramids.
Would you rather take pictures or be in them? NEITHER! I'm a lousy photographer and I hate having my picture taken.... but since I've lost some weight I don't mind it as much as I used to.
Give one word that best describes you. Organized.
I'm off to read other people's responses!........................P
