My feelings about blogging!

Blogging is something that I might consider doing outside of this class. I think it is a good thing when you need advice. When I have questions or need advice about anything I type it into google and read other people's blog posts about the topic and most of the time it is extremely useful! Blogging in the workplace however is a completely different situation. I think it is very improper and think that you should get information from more reliable sources.

At first, the whole blogging thing was very confusing and I was not very fond of it. But now since I have been doing it a lot more, I am starting to enjoy it! It is also amusing to read other people's blogs and writing styles.

Scrapbooking!!!

For this weeks prompt, we were able to write a blog about anything that we wanted! For my topic, I am going to talk about scrapbooking!

Scrapbooking is both a great way to express yourself and a good way to keep all your memories together instead of them getting lost in time! Scrapbooking lets you be creative and productive!

How do you start scrapbooking? Well, in this blog I will give steps on how to scrapbook! The first step is to find a scrapbook that defines you. For example, mine has flowers on it and is quite simple; this expresses me because I am down to earth and enjoy the simple things in life! The next step is to gather and sort through any memorabilia. These may include:
  • Pictures
  • Movie stubs
  • Pins
  • Entrance wristbands
  • Notes
Once you have collected those items, you will want to sort through them and categorize them into family, school, work, holiday, big events, etc. The next step is to find decorations and background paper. This is the easy part, just put together anything that reminds you of that certain memory! And wala, you have a great book of memories!
