Even though I'm an avid crafter and appreciate things that are hand-made, I've always hated scrap-booking. It's always struck me as cheesy and minimally creative, though I suppose following a knitting pattern made by somebody else isn't that much more innovative.
I've finally decided that what really turns me off on that particular craft is that the whole decorating process that goes on in scrapbooking distracts from the actual photos it is meant to enhance.
I recently went with my boyfriend to his friends' house, they are married and the husband just got back from Brazil. They also showed us some pictures from his trip to Russia a few years ago that she had put into a scrapbook as a gift for him. I think we talked more about her decorating style than the actual photos. I wonder how much it was actually a gift for him or a gift for herself.
