I think Stacy's main message is inspiring us to scrap our MEMORIES vs. just our PICTURES. I am so inspired right now! I have so many ideas for pages that I need to write them down. It's not about keeping up with the trends and always doing something that's never been done before. It's about the message in my pages and the memories behind them. I needed to hear that. I get too caught up in trying to be as creative and talented as my uber-creative friends and I miss the point of why I scrap! I scrap because I love it and because I want to make a record of all that is good about my life.
I'll leave you today with my favorite quote from the entire book...
I think scrapbooking is a way to live with passion. It's about being present in your life. It's about recognizing a fleeting moment as memorable before it passes and it's about the ability you have to say, 'I was here, I lived and breathed and played in the sand. I learned and loved. I laughed and cried and I danced to disco in my kitchen.'"

By the way, I posted some pictures of my paper bag albums that didn't sell at the craft fair on my blog. Pop over and take a look!

Yep. Stacy Julian and her concept are pure genius. Glad to know that what she said in her book is what she teaches at conventions.
Scrap your memories, not your photos.
Still giggling that you and I thought of framing a few of the quotes used in her book. Great minds think alike!
Happy scrapping!
