Can a photo speak a thousand words?

By

They say that a picture can speak a thousand words. If you are lucky enough to have a picture like this, you simply need to fill in the details. You can write “Jennifer and Geoffrey at Yosemite Falls. June 1989.”  You can add more personality to the page by adding more facts and including a short story or anecdote. 

The 4 W’s

Who
What
When
Where
Why

You are going to remember this photo. But how about the next generation? or the next?

Journaling is important so your photos and scrapbooks don’t end up with the kids saying, “Who is this?” 

I am heading out to my first Christmas party of the season, so I will write more later.  Thanks for visiting my blog!

History of the Tear Bear

The controversy surrounding this little piece of torn paper has been enormous, so I wanted to put a little jot of its history here. The tear bear has been around for ages. The first tear bear was more than likely an elementary school project that grew into a serious art form.

The history of the tear bear has made scrapbooking history; in classrooms from K-up, craft rooms, craft stores, on the Internet, including eBay and private ecommerce. Each tear bear is unique in its own way as each crafter puts an individual spin on their creations!


There is also a figurine called a tear bear that has a tear running down its cheek. We don't have those figurines here, but do offer our own unique paper pieced Tear Bear and our own little piece of history!
