Scrapbooking has been around for a few centuries - a way to preserve photos, memorabilia, family stories.
And while traditional scrapbooking - heavy on the arts and crafts side - is still enormously popular, especially with women, digital scrapbooking is taking the memories world by storm. And since it's a tech tool, men and kids also enjoy it!
For those a little intimidated at the thought, you'll find plenty of digital scrapbook websites to get you started - showing you how to scan and tweak photos, select the best, how to journal/write comments - and most provide easy templates to get you started.
Digital scrapbook pages can also be incorporated into a traditional scrapbook - the 'hybrid' technique takes away some of the toil, although spending time with die cuts, ribbons, brads and buttons is what traditional scrapbookers enjoy.
Whatever your interest, you'll find a way to get your old photos out of shoeboxes and your digital photos out of memory sticks or the desktop, and display and share them.
The latest hot gifts are photobooks - taking digital scrapbooking a step further to end with a polished, professional coffee table book - a great gift with the holidays racing toward us.
Why should it only be celebrities with biographies on the bookshelves?!
