My wife just made a scrapbook for our friends and their son for his one year birthday. It was full of pictures and memories from the first year of their son’s birthday. I thought she did a great job and I was impressed by how professional it looked and all the little things you can buy to make it look so.
She seemed to enjoy making it and really was good at it. She has a pretty good accumulation of supplies and all the little stuff that goes with it like special scissors, and “zots”, and that kind of stuff. I started looking at scrapbooking supplies to buy her so she could do something she enjoyed. The supplies are really expensive and you need a lot of them. Some of the little decals cost over a dollar a piece and you use quite a few on every book. I think a quality book would cost between $40 and $80 a piece.
I noticed that a lot of people I know that did scrapbooking no longer are involved as much as they were even a few years ago. I would like to know that my wife would really enjoy this as a hobby before we sink a lot of money into it. I have no problem with the money if it is something she enjoys but I would love a cheaper way to try it out before we dive in head first.
