MORE ON SCRAPBOOKING

Scrapbooking is big business. And it is projected to continue its growth. There are some estimates that it is a $2 1/2 billion industry at this time.

It helps sometimes to think of your scrapbook as being interesting 40 or 50 years from now. There may be more changes in the next 50 years than in the past 50 years. With this in mind construct your journalism to be relevant then. Remember TVs as we know them may not be envisioned 50 years from now.

If your are using news paper or magazine articles in your pages be sure to date them and provide the source. The Ladies Home Journal, a popular magazine carried this article on Feb. 2, 2002. That may seem like an over reaction, but, not all of use will be around to explain things in 50 years. How many of our kids have heard about Montgomery Wards or Enron?

I know I have said this a time or two previously. Those that peruse your scrapbook in the future- probably some kinfolk- will get a glimpse of your personality as you express yourself and your creative side on your scrapbook pages.
