Why LOAD? Why Scrapbook?

by Lain on January 27, 2012

A few weeks ago, someone emailed me (a twenty-something, unmarried, male “someone”) and asked me why I scrapbook. “What’s the point?” he said. “I just don’t get it.”

I was really glad he asked, though I was a bit taken aback at first. I mean, why WOULDN’T you scrapbook? ;)

With the imminent arrival of Layout a Day 212 next Wednesday, I get similar questions more frequently:

-Why would you want to scrapbook every day?

-What do you talk about in your scrapbooking layouts?

-Why do you put so much energy into this? Aren’t people just going to scrapbook anyway?

Well, as you know by now — I am absolutely PASSIONATE about helping women capture their memories and their family’s memories in a fun, simple, and meaningful manner. As for why I scrapbook? Well, watch this short video.

I hope after you watch it, you’ll decide to join me and 336 other scrapbookers at LOAD 212. Your photos and your family will thank you. :)

P.S. If you like the video, feel free to share it!
