I think I am done scrapbooking. I never thought it would happen. When my friend, Stephanie, said she wanted to quit, I was shocked. Who would want to quit? It’s so much fun! But I just can’t seem to make myself motivated to scrap. I still enjoy making cards but scrapping the photos leaves me blah.

I think it is because I am back into (somewhat serious) photography. That took a back seat while I was biking and then having and raising my boys. It was easier to use point & shoot cameras. I could do that one-handed and get the memory. Quality did not seem as important.

Now I have more time to practice and play. And the boys are leaving their cute kid phase and entering that “leave me alone phase” which I hear can last for years. Most of the photos I take just sit on my hard drive. A few of the better images get developed and processed and posted on the web. And even fewer of those do I have the desire to see as a physical photopraph. There is also the lack of money and time. No extra money to print a ton of photos. (OK, the time is not really an issue, I can always make the time if I really want to.)

I made a couple of photo books for gifts. The quality has come along way in recent years. I like how they came out and can see doing more of those.

The real problem is what do I do with all this stuff? Sure I will use some for making cards. But I would have to make dozens of cards everyday to make a dent.

Moderation is not in my vocabulary.
