Happy National Scrapbook Day!

You may not find NSD on every calendar; it's an important day to those who love to tell a story about the photos they want to preserve by adding journaling and meaningful embellishments on their album pages. It's not too late to participate, the whole month of May is devoted to scrapbooking. Visit a local store for supplies, grab a friend or two for coffee and make something memorable.
