Why are so many of us addicted to scrapbooking?
Is being addicted to scrapbooking something to do with how we feel about ourself! And I think being addicted to scrapbooking can be a GOOD thing!
Scrapbooking can play a huge role in how we feel about ourselves and our life. For many of us it is really just a hobby but the importance of scrapbooking can be much more.
If you really think about it, many of us work all day in stressful jobs or are at home with the children which is just as stressful at times. I work all day in an office and it can be very demanding, but I do really like my job. I sometimes feel very tired and drained and I think most everyone can relate to this no matter what they are doing in their lives.I find that scrapbooking is very calming to me and helps me deal with these moments in my day-to-day job and also limits the frequency in which they happen.
Addicted to scrapbooking or
not addicted to scrapbooking!
I feel great when I am creating.So what is wrong with that? I seem to be able to block everything else out and build some really great scrapbooking pages.
When I alow myself to become more imaginative and play without any boundaries, it gives me an outlet to really express how I feel. I start to notice that my personality comes through as I begin to experiment with colors, patterns, and textures. This is when I seem to make great progress with my scrapbooking page layouts. I really believe that when you experiment with your creativity all of your thoughts and negative energy will be replaced with your passion and joy of scrapbooking. This positive energy that you will experience can be carried over into other daily activities. That is why you will feel energized and excited after working with your project.
This is only the beginning.
Imagine how you will feel when you have completed a page? The achievement that you will feel when you have created something so personal will be sure to make you want to share it with everyone and in turn will be building your self-esteem. It is times like this that you cannot help but notice how valuable you are and take pride in what you have done.
I see my scrapbook pages as a gift to my family – a way of preserving and treasuring the special moments that won’t be forgotten. But I also know that they are much more than just gifts. They can be seen as a celebration to everything that is amazing in my life. It allows my hobby and joy with scrapbooking to be shared with those that I love. The appreciation of the gifts I have created and shared brings me joy that no other hobby has!
