  scrapbooking
i think i now know why scrapbooking wasn't as fulfilling as i thought it would be.

violet blank page

designers produce all these gorgeous paper patterns, laces, buttons, strings, punches, die-cuts, scissors, stickers, stamps, inks, writing implements, colors, everything... they make everything for you. so all you have to do is peel and stick.

when i see all that gorgeous paper, my mind just ceases to think and goes, "oh, pretty." when i was little i used to collect little paper stationaries. those things you press between sturdy folder pages and trade and protect as fiercely as you know how.

but i totally still enjoyed scrapbooking, ahaha, especially if i made myself take time and think about what sort of theme emerges from these set of photos and memories. i base my layout on that theme and then look if i have materials for it.

i stopped a couple years ago because - i'm sorry - but it made me feel dumb. ahahaha - everything is provided for you, patterns, colors, stickers; all you have to do is... peel and stick.

but then, i had to devote time to the other things i want to do in life, and i knew i won't have as much time to create my own patterns if i wanted to. plus, there was no time and space for it here in my house. oh gosh darnnit, another reminder of the inevitable, ahaha... but it's a lot safer than blogging your life, ahahahaha. ...
