Britt,
I scrapbook and I LOVE it! DH gets so scared anytime I am anywhere near a scrapbook store
! He is always saying "Athena, why don't you open up a sticker store? You have so many." I love the stickers, and I can spend some serious $ on them too. I don't think my scrapbooks are anything too elaborate, my DSIL gets really into it and makes tiny little pieces of clothing and etc to go on pages. I think people would probably pay for it. Star's question was great about the personal stuff, maybe you could come up with a questionaire or something to go along with the pages, so that all of that is included in the scrapbook. I journal on my pages and I love that there is so much info for people to read. I think it is going to be a great thing to pass along, and unlike my kid pics and albums that my Mom gave me, in my scrapbooks there is writing about what was taking place, etc. I have many friends ask me to do a scrapbook for them and said they'd pay me for materials and the work that goes into it. But I have never done it for anyone, I usually just get them into it and show them what I have done and how. For many reasons, but mainly cause I want them to have what they want, my taste is quite different from some of my friends.
I have a very dear friend in NC who when I was moving from there to here, made me a scrapbook, she covered the front with red fabric (red is my fav color) and then she did the first page with "Fun facts about Washington" and put all kinds of facts, like the population and she added 8 people because I moved here with my family and then my Best friend and her family moved here a few months before me.
Then she made me 2 pages one is with OU football stuff, the other is with a boom box and she drew little cassette tapes because I like OLD music. She did one page for DS with all of his favs like a playstation controller that she cut out and drew on, yu-gi-oh stickers, and some of his sayings. She did the same on DD's page (she is very talented and can draw), my DD is known for running around without shoes on, so she drew dirty little feet, and she drew little snacks like a soda can, popcorn bag and she put "Can I have a snack" because that is so Taylor, she also drew little garden things cause Tay helped her plant her garden and on both of the kids pages she put stuff and a little robot about the song "Mr. Roboto" that was the song she played with the kids in the car in the mornings on the way to school. On DH's page she put up a bunch of surf boards (DH is a surfer in his free time) that she had made with paper and she then drew different things on each surf board, like one has "Special Forces" cause DH is in SF and one says "Bum" cause he always says he wants to move to the beach, live in a shack, surf all day, and be a bum. On each page she wrote personal things to each of us. Then the rest of the album is blank so I could document our move.
It was a LONG trip that we drove and we stopped to see friends and family along the way, so I can fill it up with all the pics I took. I haven't started it yet, cause I am finishing a small one for my Mom that she can take to work of the kids first. It is my most prized and special scrapbook, I love it! It is so beautiful and she added so much of all of us individually. So maybe those things she did will help you some and you can always make special ones like she did for family and friends.
Hope this helps some and sorry I wrote a novel about it
