The Inspiration quiz from the Organized and Inspired Scrapbooker...

I just love this book... it's turned my chaotic 'bat cave' of the past into my 'Scraptopia' This quiz was in the workbook...

1. Why did you start scrapbooking? For me it was a creative and emotional outlet. Creative in putting together the pages, and emotional with the journaling. This is definitely not my grandmother's way of scrapbooking (pasting pictures and paper artifacts in albums). I like how Ali Edwards puts it now, we are 'life artists'. That's what I think of myself now as. I'm officially the family historian; and I like that.
