Scrapbooking is one of the fastest growing hobbies of the 1990's. Americans love taking photographs and keeping mementos of important occasions. Millions of photographs are taken of

• Weddings,
• Birthdays,
• Graduations,
• Vacation trips,
• Special business events for portfolios,
• Pet shows,
• School programs
• the list could go on and on...

That's a lot of memories that need organization and proper display. Everyone has something special they want to remember or share with others--even businesses produce scrapbooks to highlight their new products or special services.

Sooo...have you got lots of photos stored in shoeboxes in the closet, under the bed, stuffed away in various nooks and crannies? Most of us do. And most of us tell ourselves that we really intend to organize them "one of these days." (One person told me she stores them this way for a while and then usually ends up throwing them away when she's tired of looking at the boxes! Is that an example of "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" or what?) Actually, if you have them stored this way, they may be safer than if they are in an older "regular" photo album! Time and the elements can be very destructive to these precious things.

Believe it or not, organizing and displaying your photos can be done. And it can be done in an interesting and attractive way that you can be proud of. Not only that--your photos should last much longer since they will be stored and displayed in a non-destructive manner.
