  • On a lighter side, I was making scrapbooks before all the hoopla and fine papers. I think the old ones I made of photos in those horrible magnetic albums are so unique. I cut out and around photos and brochures to document to wonderful vacations with our kids in the 70s. I now make digital scrapbooks. I'm not obsessive. I only create them for special occasions.
  • I was diagnosed with breast cancer the first of June. I immediately started an on-line journal to work out my frustrations and let my friends and family know how I was doing. It has been great for me to write all these things down. Here's the journal blog: http://fitterknitter.blogspot.com/
  • Love to listen to Lain!
  • I loved hearing Lain's take on scrap booking. I'm definitely guilty of harshly judging "scrapbookers," but this interview changed that perspective. Glad you're back podcasting - I've missed you!
  • I am so lucky! I have been listening to Lain's podcast archive... and YOU ARE BACK!

    I really look forward to listening to you and to Lain.
  • I'm glad you're back! And, yeah! Everyone should stop drinking haterade. I <3 to scrapbook!
  • Nancy
    Welcome back! It's good to hear you again!!

    I think scrapbooking is a great hobby or business - I've made just a few pages over the years but am starting a new travel one and also have plans for a time capsule one.

    And what a timely show - I am just about to announce my partnership with a good friend on turning scrapbooking into a business!
  • Bravo! Another super CP, Sister! Very interesting to learn that scrapbooking is more popular than golf - but what about disc golf? ;)

    I also really liked that you discussed the differences between art journals and scrapbooking; I always figured I was art journaling because I wasn't scrapbooking photos of my kids (which I don't have), but as you said, the differentiating lines are very blurry indeed. (Sounds a lot like the whole art v. craft thing to me.)

    Anyway, so great to hear your voice again!
