What is Scrapbooking?

A lot of friends are asking me what is scrapbooking. So I searched the net of what is the meaning of scrapbooking and this is what I found... Read on if you wanna know.

Scrapbooking is the practice of combining photos, memorabilia and stories in a scrapbook style album. Scrapbooking has been around as long as there have been photos, but the scrapbooking that has evolved in the 90's is new and different. As we learn more about color photographs, we are better able to store them in a manner that will preserve them. Scrapbookers in the 90's are taking advantage of the scientific knowledge available in the area of photo preservation to ensure that their precious photos are not just in a scrapbook, but that they are in a scrapbook that will help protect them from deterioration. Because of this, future generations may be spared the yellowed, faded color photos of their childhood that many of us now own. The sad fact is that color photographs are NOT permanent, however, the methods that we use to store color photographs can length or reduce their life-span significantly.

So there, the meaning of scrapbooking. I hope you won't ask me what's the meaning of scrapbooking anymore. =P
