Hahaha... I know my family apprieciates the scrapbooks that I make, but sometimes it's pretty cool to see how your art impacts others. For example, I did a layout about my donating my hair to locks of love... well, I made a mistake and printed out two copies. My mom took the copy, just to show her hairdresser that had cut my hair the photos in the layout (since I don't print out just prints anymore)... well, Amy (hairdresser) was so touched that there was a layout made on it that she asked for the copy... she even framed it and uses it when she goes around talking about hair. So many people have commented on it and asked if she got that directly from Locks of Love... :wub:
Today it happened again... my cousin and her daughter just got their black belts in karate last night. When my 2nd cousin first started out in karate - I think it has to be 3 years now, maybe 4... my aunt wanted to learn how to scrapbook. She came up one weekend (she lives about 3 hours away) and I showed her how to use PSE by creating a layout on the first time my 2nd cousin did karate... and this is what my aunt wrote to my mom today...
"Oh, Becky had an involvement in this too yesterday I hope you tell her which so surprised someone and I can't tell you how many times I was thanked. After the belt presentations, there is kind of a reception. Family and friends come around and congratulate, look at the belt, instructors come around thing like that. So, I had this idea on Friday about printing off the photos of how this all began at Vilas Park. I knew for sure Mr. Wyeth would be there because of his wife and even still he never misses a tournament. So I printed off the Vilas Park scrapbook Page Becky had done. I walked up to Mr Wyeth and introduced myself to him and told him that from that lesson at Vilas Park, today she is a blackbelt. He just kind of looked at me until I showed him what I had for him. He was amazed. He said that in all of the years he has been teaching NO ONE had ever done that for him. I told him that it was because of Sunny Day that she really got her start; but her first lessons were actually from him. Even after everything was said and done, he came back and thanked me again."
aww... that is the power of scrapbooking, isn't it?
Do you have stories like this too?

I am working on making them each an album of all the times we have spent together!
