My 26 year old former Marine Grandson wants to learn to scrap! He was here for my DGD 's wedding. This is his first LO. I am so proud! He lives 1300 miles away but called me for tips & then promised to share his LO's. Such fun! My Dad was a scrapbooker, me, my DIL & now 1 grandchild. Hopefully this will encourage more! This makes me so happy!  |

patin how on earth have you got a 26 year old grandson?!!! You must have started babies when you were like 10 or something  Glad you've pulled another scrapper into the fold

that is so cool!! it sounds like it really runs in the family, with your family-- that is so neat.
I love his layout- and I think I'm going to steal the title 'We Do' for the layout I make of our wedding ceremony . Tell your DGS he's got some online scrapping buddies, too!!

That's awesome! I'm always especially happy to hear about men who scrap, even if they don't call it that. I don't see any reason why memory keeping of any sort should be seen as just for women or people of a certain age. I hope he enjoys it.

That is fantastic! I'm really pleased for you.
Occasionally on the Reddit scrapbooking board, there will be a question from a male wanting to learn, usually to make a gift. It's funny because they usually ask something like "I want to make a scrapbook for my girlfriend. Where do I begin?" which is really tough to answer, lol.

i thought i'd commented on this thread, but i guess not! that's totally cool that he wants to carry on the family tradition patin! and his first page is marvelous!! tell him he's got a home here with the peas if he thinks he can handle it  but i'm in agreement with kiwigirl: how on earth do you have a grandson of that age???!? |

Aww- You all are so sweet. I assure you I am old enough to have a DGD at 26 (also twin @dgs@24, twin DGD@22, DGD@21, DGD@20, DGS@18, DGD@16, DGS@14,DGD@13, DGS@12 @our little trailer..DGS@3).
I sure felt a lot younger with him than I do the 3 year old!
BTW- he has shown me 2 more LO's. It IS hard to guide him. So I just try to address the ? he asks. I always find it a bit hard to help beginners as we have so much scrapping knowledge. I am afraid I will knock him over like a fire hose with all my excitement.

I am afraid I will knock him over like a fire hose with all my excitement. I know what you mean... every once in a while I end up helping someone in Michael's (because there's usually no salesperson around) and I want to give them ideas, but at the same time I don't want to bombard them with too much of my scrapbook enthusiasm and scare them off, lol!! |
