"So now we're going to learn how to scrapbook. So what are the two options that you have as far as scrapbooking? Your two options, Grace are really to scrapbook chronicology which means from a point in time to another point in time, kind of the years goes by sort of thing. And the other option is to scrapbook more events and theme related for your scrapbook. So that means you'd have one for birthdays or holidays, that sort of thing. So you brought your own albums here. I did bring my own albums. How cute, look at that, so this is the chronological one. This is my chronological album, this is actually me as a baby. I did my own album a couple years ago, it's the first ten years of my life and I really wanted to just take all of those photos that you know from birth and just go right on through elementary school, so that's what I did. I start with a little family tree here, I'm still working on getting all the names put together from my parents. Very cool, so you're going to put their pictures here? I'm going to put some pictures here. Do you guys sell this? We do sell the paper and the albums, this is one of our best selling albums; it's a suede album. Really. From chatterbox it's really nice. I love suede, it's so beautiful. All of our albums are refillable, so unexpandable. So a lot of times people say, oh I need a lot more than ten pages. Well this album started as ten pages and you just keep adding pages and extending it as big as you need it to be. So that's another thing that you guys sell, is the pages, you can buy the pages, you can buy this chronological, geological tree, right whatever you call it? Right the paper and all that sort of thing. Very cool, so here it is a girl? It's a girl. How sweet and then you have like different backgrounds too, you buy those. Right, you can buy those, you can buy the papers, all the little chochkies, we call them embellishments, that sort of thing you can do all of that and you can get as creative with it or as simple as you want it to be. But I just started with what I had and worked forward. Nice and also I see you have like a little, it's that mats or is that like a background paper, did you cut this yourself? I did cut those myself and we're going to cover that in another segment. Oh how great. Yeah, that's the easiest way to scrapbook. And it's really pretty, it frames it nicely. Oh look at this, this is fancy, it doubles. Right. Like double colors. I was three years old and I was a flower girl in my aunts wedding. Nice. It was a lot of fun. Cool and then you have the event one. The event one I chose to do a Christmas. Christmas is a really big deal in my family, so every year I do a different set of Christmas pages and it's all in one concise book, I also took some Christmas carols that I really love and put them in there and try to really mix it up for my own event album. Great, so if they take a class, if people take your class, you can kind of give them ideas on what they can scrapbook? Right, exactly. Their favorite things. That's great, I can't wait to hear more about this."
