Remember Why you scrapbook

Do you remember why you started to scrapbook? Was it to save your children's photos? a hobby choice? you love to create? Are you a photo lover? Well I was reminded last week...... I

had a client come in and ask me if I would be willing to help her save a scrapbook. I of course said yes. She shred with me a huge book that was falling apart before my eyes. This client is in her 90's and the scrapbook was full of all of the "love" letters that her husband had written to her during his time in World War 2....... WOW Those of you who know me know that the opportunity to restore an album would be a treat!!! The best part of it is why she wanted to have this done..... So that her children, grand children and great grandchildren could have these letters and parts of history for ever..... I almost cried. And let me tell you that people do not write letters like this anymore - if they even write them at all.

So this was my WOW - this is why I scrap my photos so that some day my great grandchildren can see what life was like in 2006. I took photos of the album to share with all of you.

The Hat box photos was another antique project.... I had the pleasure of restoring an old hat box for a special client. Enjoy
