Hi, my first blog is all about my past experience of scrapbooking. When I think about my experience of scrapbooking, it started in primary school, when I would stick pictures – usually of animals I loved, or newspaper clippings we had to put in our school scrapbooks. I remember doing this type of scrapbooking right throughout my schooling years, although not so much in secondary school.
Scrapbooking is something I have been doing in some form all my life. When I finished secondary school scrapbooking for me was in the form of a normal old photography album, with photos of special moments or occasions that occurred.
I am a crafter at heart, and saw a scrapbooking course, so went and learnt, many different styles of scrapbooking to display my treasured photos and memorabilia. I was hooked and wanted to do more. My first scrapbook was of, The Berwick outdoor experience camp which changed my life.
So it’s cool, having a scrapbook of my experience, to go back through, when I am not feeling so confident, because it shows, I can do anything – even abseil down a dam, and I have the scrapbook album to prove it.

For me scrapbooking is great. I love it because I find it very relaxing and therapeutic designing and laying out pages that show my photographed memories in a safe way that is going to keep people looking at them for hours.
Some practical considerations about scrapbooking are that you need plenty of room, so you can spread out all your equipment and have enough room to work. Scrapbooking can be as cheap or expensive as you like depending on your budget.
Scrapbooking could be used as an Occupational Therapy process for assessing peoples cognitive processing, and physical abilities, such as fine motor body functions.
