OMG I was actually asked this the other day. ... Why Scrapbook? I have a girlfriend who hasn't been bitten by the scrap bug and probably never will. She's not interested in having a creative outlet.

I think for me this desire to set up a dialogue with my decendants began as I scrapbooked my mum's life and there were so many things I didn't know and would never know about her. I loved doing my mum's life because the journey of discovering who she was before she was my mum and how badly she wanted to be a mum brought me closer to her.
