Before Friday comes to a screeching halt, let’s take a pause for Freebie Friday.
“What is Freebie Friday” you ask? Well, Freebie Friday is a rare event where free stuff is given away … right here … on the creative organizing blog. Lucky you … you stopped by just in a nick of time (in spite of me blogging so rarely these days.)
What’s the freebie? I’m glad you asked! It’s a copy of Tasra Dawson’s book “Real Women Scrap!” This book is loaded with gems of inspiration and insight. Some of my favorites are “comparison kills creativity” and “simplicity sharpens our focus.” You’re going to love it! (If, of course you’re the lucky winner.) And if not … hop on over to Tasra’s site to learn more about this great book.
Ah … yes, how do you win? Another good question! It’s simple. Just post a comment telling me your favorite thing about scrapbooking, by Sunday, November 5th at 9:30 PM central time. On Sunday night, I’ll draw a number from a “hat” (maybe it will be a basket or storage bin) and the lucky person whose comment matches the number in the hat is the winner! (For example, if I draw a one and you were the first to comment — you win!)
Be sure to check out the super fun contest Tasra is sponsoring … with some prizes from simplify 101!
Hi Aby, from wet and rainy Oregon!
My favorite thing about scrapping is the it’s something that “I” really enjoy doing. The fact that the kids or others enjoy looking through them is a total bonus!
Have a super weekend!

Hi Aby! I am so enjoying your blog. My favorite thing about scrapbooking is the way it has made me see my world. I notice and appreciate the small, yet so important details of everyday life now! 😀

My favorite thing about scrapbooking is that it is something I created. I find that we all have our own style, so no layouts are the same. It’s a way to remember people and events.
Hard to choose one favorite thing about scrapbooking. But right now my favorite thing is seeing my two year loving a layout about her so much that she wants to carry it around and sleep with it.
Hmmm…I love scrapbooking a lot…love illustrating memories for my family, but right now I’ll say my favorite thing is collecting all the yummy paper! 🙂
My passion in scrapbooking is preserving and sharing all of the old family photos and the stories that go with them. I am always meeting new people and learning what they have to tell me.
My favorite thing about scrapbooking is that I am sharing part of me with my kids and family thru the albums I do.
My favourite thing about scrapbooking is sharing my pages with my kids, family and friends….plus it’s just so darn fun!
my favourite thing about scrapbooking is it gives me the chance to be creative – i never thought i was .. but now i love to get my supplies out and ‘create’
My favorite thing about scrapbooking is watching my children look through the books over and over and reading the stories in them. That’s what it’s all about! I hope I win!
My favorite thing about scrapbooking is preserving snippets of everyday life that can easily be overlooked or forgotten.
My favorites things, definately more than one 😉 of scrapbooking are making a mess and out of that mess comes a momento of a story that I can share for many years to come.
Hi Aby, There are so many things that I love about scrapbooking; the great women I get to meet, the creative outlet, the lucious textures, and the yummy colors. BUT I would have to say that my favorite part is simply the gratitude that come from reflection on the many blessings(from minor to grand)in my life!
I am a graphic designer so I am chained to my computer most hours of the week. I love scrapbooking b/c it allows me to get my hands dirty. It’s still a creative outlet, but one for me & one w/o all the restrictions of my work. Plus things aren’t perfectly aligned, measured, etc. as they are on the computer.
My favorite thing about scrapbooking is that 20 minutes, hour, or hours that I find in my busy life to take time out for myself and do something that makes me happy.
I love the creativity, reliving the memories, and having the justification for taking all the tons of photos that I would be taking anyway!
Well if honestly counts
My favorite thing about scrapbooking is the shopping and organizing 🙂 but the fact that it is a creative outlet and a chance for me to get away in my own space is the bonus. Great question!!!
My farvorite thing about scrapbooking is that I am using my creativity to preserve memories for my family and future generations to come. It is very rewarding to put the story of our lives on paper (pretty papers too) and share it with my family and friends.
My favorite thing about scrapbooking is the creative outlet, when I can leave work and the outside world and just create! Creating and celebrating the memories…gotta love it!
… from the all too fast-paced world of Northern Virginia…
My favorit thing about scrapbooking is the opportunity to speak to my children (and other loved ones) once I’m gone, (so many unanswered questions about my Granny’s life that could have been revealed with a little journaling with each photo) and the opportunity to share my faith with those who see my layouts.
