And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook, with the photographs there and the moths.
If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.
Arrange whatever pieces come your way.
My friends have made the story of my life.
A picture is poem without words.

I love scrapbooks. They are one of the finest ways of dejunking life and abode...

Buy the ticket, take the ride.
