Tomorrow is National Scrapbooking Day — a day were droves of people will come together for a common cause … to collect and preserve memories.

When you stop to think of it, memories happen every moment of the day. And there are some memories that will always come back to you when you hear a certain song, or smell a familiar aroma, or use a particular saying. All memories would be impossible to capture in scrapbooking, but sit back and think of the ones that you will ALWAYS want to remember and share with family and friends.

Here are a few ideas of what you might want to do on the this national day of scrapping:

  • Find something “scrappy” to do!  Have a scrap party at your house, go to a local scrap gathering at your favorite supplies store or sign up for a scrapbook retreat.
  • Go online and find something new to do. Take time to learn something you’ve always wanted to do but never had the time.
  • Organize your projects. Plan out the upcoming week and determine what projects you’ll work on.
  • Buy new stuff!  If you’ve gone through any of the above steps, you might need to stock up on supplies. Write up your list, check it twice and go shopping!
  • Reorganize your work space. We often leave this scattered around in the wake of creativity — look around your work area and put things back into place. While you’re at it, you just might find a better way of organizing your paper, embellishments or tools.
  • Make a Mother’s Day card or gift. A perfect time to think about that special card or gift to give to a special Mom.

The art of scrapbooking allows free expression of your creative abilities. Express yourself on National Scrapbooking Day … you just mind find that you’ll want to do it EVERY day!
