My next quote comes from another personal web site; “I love my shot glasses! Currently I own almost 400 of mini drinking vessels. My friends insist that one day we have a party where each glass gets used at least once. I don't have enough floor space for when they pass out! For now, I am content to hanging these puppies on wall. My other loves are Pink Flamingos and Oreo Cookies, but they haven't overwhelmed an entire room yet. Give me time.” This collector just loves collecting them, no rhyme or reason why, she just enjoys act of doing so.

I am sure it is clear to you by now that reasons why people collect many times are very different. They range from being a simple hobby, all way to self preservation. Sometimes people collections end up in museums after they have past on. The Smithsonian Institution is living proof of that. So no matter what it is you collect just remember, next time you go somewhere, bring a memory home with you.

Another consideration when using fabrics is if color will bleed off onto your page and other things touching it. To test for this, cut a square inch off and soak it in a glass of water over night. If there is no color bleeding from it next day, then there isn't any risk to your scrapbook. But if you do see color in water, or collecting at bottom of glass then don't use that fabric in your scrapbook at all.

When using glitter, be sure there is a top layer of spray adhesive to lock them down, or better yet use special glitter glue where glitter is mixed right in. If this is not done right glitter will slowly fall off, and loose glitter means scratched photos.

After you have planned layout for your photos, be sure that you are using right kind of mounting tape for them! Regular mounting tape is fine for buttons and bottle caps, but when it come to mounting photos you need to use special photo mounting tape which is completely acid-free. If you don't, your photos will slowly discolor. The tape should say "acid-free" right on packaging.

These are just a few simple things you can do to ensure that your scrapbooks last and last.
