"Digital Scrapbooking - scrapbooking for commitment phobes"
LOL... He then goes on to explain that well, you don't have to commit to anything! You don't have to cut a single photo, you can rearrange forever, and if you don't like the way it turns out, you can delete it permanently. You don't have to choose any papers, spend any money on embellishments, or glue anything down. Totally commitment free!
Anyway, I just had to share :)

heehee, he is right. Dang, really hate it when the men are right!
Yeah, but then you have to carry your computer around to show off your pages!
good point!
HI
As far as technology changing, you are right on the button. Archives have a real problem with the different media that people have used for storage in just the last 20 or so years. Remember that floppy disks were so expensive at first that people used cassette tape. Besides do you know how many scrapbooks are in archives right now and how much information they hold about our collective pasts. There is something about handling a psper scrapbook that has its last entry in say 1910. Do you ever wonder which of the books we work on today will end up in a museum one day? Don't laugh, it will happen. In this information age with email and so few letters, our books, which are mostly pictures will represent us in the future.

2004 31 Pages Goal To keep my sanityLOL! He is right. Although I do have a friend that prints out her digital layouts. One copy for herself and one copy for her parents.

I've been reading a lot about digital scrapbooks and thinking of trying a page or two but I couldn't go to that completely. What would I do with my room full of scrapbooking supplies? I could scrap for a live time without buying more stuff, but does that stop my shopping? Nooooo! Peggy
I prefer traditional scrapbooking, but I've knocked around the digital approach a few times. Believe it or not, digital embellishments, background papers, etc. can cost a small fortune. Plus, the cost of printing high quality pages is really crazy! I think it has its plusses, but I'm sticking with scissors and glue (okay, not glue).
CC Your DH is very wise! neat story
