I am the family collector. I have all pictures, documents and stuff that means nothing to no one but me. LOL I have always kept memory books & boxes and I plan to do a shadow box display for my son's (7 yrs old :-) football memoirs from his first season, but I want to start putting some of this stuff in scrapbooks. I have purchased a few scrapbooks, binders and the little corner mounters but I would like to know what are the other general supplies I need to keep in stock.

My first major scrapbook will be for my mom on mother's day. I am getting my sisters, son & nieces to write her letters to include in a section that will be dedicated from each of us. Any other suggestion on what I should include?

The last time I made a scrapbook was when I was like 7 years old. I still have it!

We have a local store that offers a crop night each week and various classes throughout the year. Last night was my second time there. If you need ides or get stuck on something, you always have someone to ask for advice. The people who run the crop are helpful also. They often have ideas on things like cleaning up messes on a page, useful coverups, and they know the best places to look for ideas.

In addition to this crop night, I'm starting to get together with friends to scrapbook also. It's nice to be able to set aside time to scrapbook without the kids and have a little adult time.
