Decorative Packaging

When you’re willing to admit you have a problem, you are on the road to recovery. That is the basic premise of every self-help/addiction or “anonymous” group I’ve ever heard of. Well, I know I have a compulsion for something that could possibly destroy my happy home, and I need help!

When I started scrap-booking, it was just something I wanted to do in order to display the stacks and stacks of family photos I had in boxes, cabinets and utter disarray. I never imagined it could take over my life. This is a warning to anyone who has a tendency to be an overachiever, perfectionist, or obsessive compulsive in the least. Scrap-booking isn’t something to dabble in. You can’t just create a couple masterpiece pages and then put it away. It will become an obsession you cannot shake, no matter how hard you try.

It has been almost 36 hours since I last cut ribbon, used a glue stick, stamped or embellished paper…I can do this!

For preserving memories and family history scrap booking goes back to ancient Greek times.
