Running With Scissors

Heather has a hobby. I love that about her. I have hobbies, and they are important to me, and it really helps for her to know what that feels like too. Like any good hobby, "scrapping" has it's own unique set of buzzwords. My favorite is "journaling", which as far as I can tell means the same as "writing", but sounds more professional and thus adds substantive weight to the hobby of scrapbooking.

Also like any hobby, scrapping has upsides and downsides. In the good column, Heather's books are beautiful and they give us something special we can keep forever and show our friends. Her scrapping also fits in perfectly with my photography; I provide some of the pics and ideas for her books. So it's kinda like a common interest.

And the bad? Well, someone on the DIY network decided to make a regular show to teach scrapping ideas to the masses. Yeah, it's pretty much as bad as it sounds. A few good ideas, but mostly terribly ugly, evil things are made on that show. And if you have seen the dry host, Sandi Genovese, you have endured some of the worst clothing choices ever to grace the small screen.

All in all though, it's a good thing. Heather's pages are awesome, and it gives her a creative outlet. So we bravely endure Sandi and her clothes, I shoot as many photos as I can, and Heather snips, glues, and "journals" her way to scrapbooking craftiness. Everyone wins.
