Five years ago I decided to start this scrapbooking blog to share my passion with others who have the same love of scrapbooking. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing but decided I would just start blogging and see what happened.
At first I wondered if anyone would really read it. Then one day about 3 months later I walked into our local scrapbook store and there on the crop table next to a scrapper I had never met was a color print out of a 2 page premade scrapbook layout that I had posted a few weeks earlier. It wasn't a fancy layout, no magazine would ever publish it, but there she was copying it, placing precious photos of her and her dad building her house on a layout I designed. I was so excited, someone was scraplifting me! I was hooked, if she was using the ideas on my blog then I was sure there were others using my ideas and it made me feel sooo good.
I am amazed that in 1826 days (including leap day in 2008) I have had 90,000 visitors, averaging 49.24 visits per day and I have made 435 posts. That is alot of paper passion and scraplifting. I love to read scrapbook blogs and hope that my blog brings that same happiness to other scrapbookers. I love the comments and cherish the friends I have met along the way, even though I probably won't ever meet you in person.
I don't think I am going to change a thing, except maybe my 5 year old profile photo that definately looks nothing like I do now. I plan to continue blogging and sharing my paper creations every day that I possibly can. Thank you for reading my blog!
Scrappingly yours, Vickie
