Why blog?

Well, the last few months I have been asking myself why I blog. It seemed like I was spending the time blogging and then would have to turn around and scrapbook all my pictures in our albums. I know I can make this blog into a book but I've already started what I've started with the albums. I've spent so much $$ on scrapping supplies and I'd hate to not use it. I was about a year and a few months behind in my scrapbooking and it was weighing on my mind. So, I decided with the new year I was going to tackle my pictures and scrapbooking again. For me it is easier to do this in the winter when I have less to do. It has been a job! It has taken me HOURS, but I am happy to report that I am current to December 2009! (Although I still have 2 big trips to add to our vacation book. This will take another day.)
My point in blogging about this is that my blog actually helped me scrapbook. I copied and pasted my blog entries into a Word document and printed out my "journaling" to add to each page. I found that there was more detail in my blog entry that I would have left out if I just tried to journal about it in the scrapbook now after all those months. So there is a purpose in doing both!
Just like the Book of Mormon and the Bible (Dave had me add this), I can see how both the blog and the scrapbooking go hand in hand. :) I know my blog has been boring lately but I've now caught my 2nd wind.
P.S. I am now venturing into the world of digital scrapbooking. I will occationally scrapbook the traditional way if I already have all the supplies but I am not going to buy any more supplies! Dave will be happy to hear this.
