When did I start scrapbooking? Well let me tell you...

I actually started scrapbooking 5 years ago when my son was born. My sister had been scrapbooking for years but I never had the time or money. ( 5 kids takes care of both!!) So when my youngest was born my sister made a book for him. She had most of the pages done. All I had to do was add the pictures as I took them, but of course there were pictures that didn't fit with the pages she had pre-made so I had to do some. Little by little I started working on them more and more. Then when it started getting expensive, I started working as a Creative Memories Consultant so I could get my supplies at cost. I have been going strong now for 4 years and hopefully can continue both as a consultant and my scrapbooking. I really love getting my pictures in books. It is great when people look at them and think they are so cool. When I first started I didn't do a lot of journaling, but now I am starting to journal more and more. I have completed about 6 or 7 albums and I am presently working on 3. One album is for family, one for Jeremiah and one for Levi. I need to get one going for my step-son, but haven't got there yet. Levi's is almost finished and of course the family albums will continue. The family album I am working on right now has taken me 4 months to do. I still have about 1 or so pages to complete then it will be done.
Well that's my story. So what is your's if you are a scrapper?
