Finding inspiration for this layout was easy. The picture was taken a month or two ago, which is out of the norm for me since I usually scrapbook chronologically. After finishing my son’s last year-long scrapbook, I had neglected to have any new photos printed. All of a sudden, I got the scrappin bug again and so, I grabbed one of the few photos that I had lying around. This one will go in his scrapbook for this year. What do you think?
I know that scrapping chronologically might not work for everyone, but it works for me. Quite frankly, it helps me to gauge my time. However, the trick is finding out how best to gauge your style of scrapbooking. Some scrappers can’t seem to get started unless they’ve got some snacks, preferably chocolate, a cold drink and their best scrappy pals. While I love to scrap with friends, I don’t get to do it that often (although it is SUPER fun!). And, I’m really lucky that I’ve got a dedicated space within my house in which to work.
At the end of the day it is always good to make sure that you try a little both ways. It’s good to do your own thing sometimes, but I think that if you always only scrapped alone, you surely would be missing out not only on the camaraderie of crafting, but also learning about helpful tips, tricks and insight from some of your smartest friends. 
I suppose I have to take my own advice now and go blow the dust off my crafting muscles. I’ll bring the chocolate if you bring the chips!
