Scrapbook-mania

With the popularity of scrapbooking, you now have the choice to make your journal as fancy or simple as you like. Going "scrapbook style" can actually make journaling more fun. Scrapbooks always include pictures, receipts of travels, programs from important events, and tokens from special places. Special papers in all designs as backgrounds, paper frames for pictures, buttons, ribbons, stickers, and glues all add to the charm of a scrapbook. So much creativity can be put into a scrapbook trying to reflect an event, that it can easily be overdone with "fluff" and not include as much information. There are usually more "do-dads" than written details in a scrapbook, but nonetheless, it is considered a record or journal.

If scrapbooking seems easier and will be more fun than handwriting, typing, or recording, then, that would be the thing to do. Keep in mind, though, that scrapbooking can be expensive.
