National Scrapbooking Day
The first Saturday in May is National Scrapbooking Day!
National Scrapbook Day was started in 1994 by the well-known album company Creative Memories. and is celebrated on the first Saturday each May. Since 1994 scrapbookers all over the county celebrate their passion for Scrapbooking on this day! There are even online groups petitioning the US Government to make National Scrapbook Day a federal holiday!
Here are the top ten scrapping activities for this fun day:
1. Attend a crop or scrapbooking party! Of course, this would be #1 on the list! There is nothing better, and more motivating, than to scrap with friends new and old! If you can't go to a live event...join an online National Scrapbook Day Crop! Faith Sisters hosts a National Scrapbook Day online crop and scrappers all over the world are welcomed to join!

2. Go shopping! There is no better reason to treat yourself to a few new scrapbooking goodies! If your on a tight budget...give yourself just a little...say $5 for a few sheets of new paper! Visit some of the online scrapbook stores too...they usually have great deals during this celebratory weekend!
