The scrapbooking blog has always been one of the most popular blogs at families.com. That always makes me smile, since scrapbooking is probably one of my most favorite subjects in the world to talk about. I divide my time into sections so that I am equally sharing it with my family, my job (writing) and my scrapbooking.

So, onto what has been happening this week in the Scrapbooking Blog. Be sure and check out any that you might have missed.
