There is a wonderfully therapeutic way of spending a morning or afternoon ‘scrapbooking’ under the guidance of Sue Shaw at the Aberdeen Books and Crafts in Aberdeen.This is one of the fastest growing hobbies in the world. The reason being, that although photographs are generally available in most homes, they are tucked away out of sight. Scrapbooking gives one the opportunity to enhance, decorate and feature events bringing memories alive again with humorous, factual, exciting and loving workmanship to feature as coffee table wonders.
This is an all age hobby. Children can begin with their childhood photos progressing into the school years before memories are forgotten. This would be a wonderful occupation for the school holidays.
Pictures of grand-parents and great-grandparents can be featured creatively onto the pages of a book, weaving memorabilia and relevant embellishments to revive and relive memories.
There is so much one can do, the list is endless. There are magazines available to assist the creatively challenged, and scrapbooking groups are now becoming as popular as ‘book-clubs.’
