What I REALLY Enjoy About Scrapbooking

(Originally written in January 2006)

1. I really like accomplishing a great layout quickly.
2. I really enjoy using awesome embellishments. (I especially like eyelets!) Update: I really like incorporating paper or fabric flowers in my work now.)
3. I really enjoy creating one-of-a-kind handmade themed books!!
4. I really enjoy getting caught up on a project in one night!
5. I really love looking at my scrapbooks later or sharing with others.

I just can't seem to really stay in a place of satisfaction with the hobby. What does this mean? Should I call it quits? Always be behind, struggling to catch up? It's January - should I RESOLVE to start our Family Album, completing at least one page a month, and work on others if I have time? I know I have to decide something about this hobby. I do love it, but I won't be compelled to do it - it just takes away the very reason I started - to vent my creativity into something lasting and beneficial. I hope I can resolve it soon...

Update: Isn't this funny? I have a idea notebook I write in. I stumbled across this entry recently. I just got back from a scrapbooking retreat and I have to say scrapbooking is one of my favorite things to do.

Just had to share.
