We scrapbook a multitude of topics and with faith coming pretty high up the list, have you ever wondered if there is a relationship between scrapbooking and religion?
A similar question was asked on the ScrapGirls message board recently, and we thought you might be interested in the replies.
Make the most of this moment. Then preserve the memories. (Have you scrapped yourself scrapping?)
We ran a series a while back about our reasons for scrapbooking. We polled you and discovered that one of the main reasons most of us scrapbook is to preserve the memories; we want to hold on to them for the future.
In Steven Curtis Chapman's "Cinderella" video below, we have a poignant reminder of just how quickly the time passes, and why many of us make scrapbooks …
The power of a simple gift: a shoebox filled with small gifts sent with love to give joy & hope to children who would not otherwise receive a gift at Christmas.
It sometimes seems the needs in our world are never-ending. We are constantly bombarded in the news programs, newspapers and magazines with people suffering in one disaster after another, and my heart breaks for everyone of them. Much as I would love to be able to, as one individual I cannot help everyone - my resources are limited. I will do what I can, one at a time, and encourage you to do what you can, when and wherever you can so it.
Seasons come and go. The different seasons of life often bring the big questions of life …

At what stage of life do you find yourself? And what are you asking?
I wanted to call this department Genie's Gems & Gleanings for I wanted space to write about interesting things I'd learned that might not be related to scrapbooking yet might interest you. (Perhaps I flatter myself!)
It proved to be too much of a mouthful so it was left as Genie's Gems.
Anyway, the idea of gleaning is to gather, collect or pull together; collecting bits as you go along; and often refers to things you learn along the way in life. So you can see where I was coming from.
"… so we'll know how to live well and right, to understand what life means and where it's going … for learning what's right and just and fair … to teach the inexperienced the ropes and give our young people a grasp on reality … there's something … for seasoned men and women, still a thing or two for the experienced to learn—Fresh wisdom to probe and penetrate, the rhymes and reasons of wise men and women." (The Message: Proverbs)
