[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 396025, member: 84"] Actually you're the only person outside of mother in law that I've known to make scrapbooks like that. My kids adored the scrapbook she made them. It's sitting in the top of my closet, old, a little rough and worn, but still much loved. I pull it out for the grands on occasion. I'm sure when she made it she never intended it to last to her great grandchildren. lol The problem is that scrapbooking has become a very popular hobby these days and it seems most people don't have the time or inclination to make the the old way, which I also prefer. I'm tired of things being new and improved to the point where I stop buying them. Twinkies.........now you wouldn't think they could mess up a twinkie right? Yup they did it.......they "improved" the recipe several years ago and I nearly gagged on one. I buy mine from aldi's now..........tastes like the name brand USED to taste before they messed with them. Ya know you'd think common sense would say if people liked a product enough that it's a hit........a long standing hit.........then there is obviously no reason to mess with success. I have a very very long list of things I no longer buy due to this. :( [/QUOTE]
