Ok... Ok... Here it is.... My New Hobby

TONS of you have emailed me to ask about my new hobby.... and I must admit I have been VERY VERY reluctant to share it.... I am a very secure man and I am not ashamed to say that I wax my eyebrows and I have had a pedicure.... I have even had my nose waxed (yes the inside, that's a whole other blog!!!!) but it has been hard for me to admit that I have become addicted to Scrapbooking... I know I know... its not a manly hobby... but when you work with a bunch of crazy women all day ( yes you A.R!!!) sometimes their quirks, habits, hangups and hobbies rub off on you... I even went to this website called scrapbook.com and got a free account so I could see what other people's pages look like.. I have even seen a few other guys on the site who got started by helping their wives scrapbook!!!!

As of today though... I am ashamed no more... I am proud of my pages and the memories they will provide me and and my family... The first book that I have worked on was of my first year teaching 5 years ago.... Let me know what you think!!!!

I'm thrilled with your scrapbooking skills. Your pages are wonderful! I am, of course, a pitiful scrapbooker, but then again, I like to mow the lawn and wash my care (which are kind of "manly" things). Keep it up!

Hey Mr. D, I too love scarpbooking. I suppose you have a picture of my "baby" on your page of your first year at Lone Oak. I have a picture of Jamie with a grean dinasour of his first day of school in your class in my scrapebook. Now we truly do have something in common.

Love You

Mama Barbara

Hi from West Virginia! I'm Karen's sister and I just HAD to comment: There is no shame in admitting you enjoy something!! I'm a little envious that you have the time to do it. I'm a first-year teacher, and would love to make something like that (though I did notice that you are just now getting around to putting it together -- I guess there's hope for me yet!!)

I love it. Twenty years from now you will be so glad you did! Congratulations on finding a new addiction. Some day I will let you come visit JuJu Scrapbook Heaven...a treasure trove of tools...even a new Cricut machine! We need to have a party!!! Your pages are awesome. I am impressed!
