Yesterday I had an awesome mail day - receiving a bunch of scrappy supplies to start project life (yes, I will be playing catch up this weekend!). I was showing them to my 15yo dd and telling her about it, showing her the calendar journal I have been making notes in, etc. she stopped me, and excitedly said, "Momma, this is great - the last pages you made were pretty, but they didn't have much journaling/story on them. I would rather see less fluff and more story!"
Wow - I really had no idea that she had noticed, or that she would be excited about this. It was just the encouragement I needed!

OH! I needed to hear that. Give your DD a big hug and tell her she just helped a total stranger.

I think 'non-scrappy' people get this hobby a lot more when they realise it is about preserving memories. Whilst we love to see a balanced page and look at all the cute embellishments etc, non-scrappers look at the pictures and the story.
Your daughter sounds like one smart little lady | |

It is wonderful to get feedback on our craft creations. It's lovely that your daughter was showing an interest in what you have made.
Have a great week and happy scrapping |

Your daughter is very smart  I think sometimes we are so busy trying to keep up with the latest trends and gizmos that we forget it is really about the photos and journaling | |
