I'd heard scrapbooking was becoming popular but I've seen no evidence of it myself, no one I know has taken it up as a hobby.
Well call me thick but what exactly IS scrapbooking?????? is it just sticking in bits of paper in a book????? (oooh I haven't lived have I??? )

Perhaps I should start doing one for Adam's 40th - that gives me nearly 4 years and I'd bloody need it
I do think they do do them with a lot of love - bless... still rather be at the pub though

Have attached a scan of my first attempt - doesn't fit on the scanner, but gives you an idea! Bit to flowery for my liking, but the girls love it...

It's just like coffee mornings where they can share ideas and decorations/paper/utensils etc, etc... Too much concentrating and not enough gossip, I reckon!

Luckily I've got plenty of other friends who don't do it!! I've got a good excuse as it's usually my gym morning - fat busting is much more important than picture pasting! I'll tell her I'll do another page when I've lost 20 kilos - that should see me right until..... 2009!

I suppose if you get invited back depends upon the type of photographs you take with you. I am sure there are some that would be frowned upon.............................................

Forced to scrapbook

I would bring in piccies of a selection of various pubic hair designs and then insist that the beaver area gets covered in glue and glitter, thus showing the pubic region in its full glory.

Sit there, proudly hold up the 'Brazilian' complete with blue glitter and say 'I think this is lovely'

Bet they wont ask you back.
