"Day after day I kept seeing this lady on a reclining exercycle at the fitness center with a looseleaf binder spreadout in front of her, happily turning pages and making notes as she pedaled her way to aerobic health.
"So I asked what she was doing. 'Scrapbooking,' she replied." - Larry Jameson
Scrapbooking is a hobby, right? Well, it turns out that scrapbooking is a huge industry that generates TWO AND A HALF BILLION dollars in sales each year, and that's just in the United States. Forecasts are that this industry is still in it's infancy.
Scrapbooking is all about preserving memories in a creative way. And it's probably one of the best things that could happen for the genealogical research industry. If you have ever done research on your family tree, you probably know about "brick walls."
How wonderful it would have been if our ancestors had kept scrapbooks in addition to writing things in the family Bible.
