SCRAPBOOKING:
When and how did you get into scrapbooking? As a teen I use to alter my notebooks, boxes, etc, but at that time I had no idea that I was doing scrapbook. When I came to USA in 2006 I fell in love with scrapbooking when I was looking through a magazine and saw all of the beautiful things that you can do with paper.

Where do you find inspiration? I love decoration magazines and I love to browse the crafty blogs.
Do you like to crop with others or scrap alone? I have never scrap with people before, so I would say alone.
How has scrapbooking changed your life? It reminds me to pay more attention to the details of life, and soak them all in, and also to record and preserve memories for the future.
What is one scrapbooking tool, you can't live without? My glue gun.
What format do you scrap? (12x12, 8.5x11 etc)? 12x12, Mini albums are also an absolute favorite of mine!
