The next best tool is a pair of tweezers. Trying to pick up and place small gluey pieces is a hassle. Tweezers, though not very high tech, allow you to move pieces without touching them.

Speaking of gluey pieces, various glues and affixing options are available. These quick and less messy options include glue dots, two-sided tape, Xyron, acid free photo tabs, and polypropylene corners.

To increase preservation of your scrapbook and your treasures, look for albums with acid free, lignin free pages. Both acid and lignin accelerate photo fading and general deterioration. Lignin is a chemical found naturally in cell walls of plants. If lignin is not removed in paper manufacturing process, chemical will cause paper product to gradually yellow and crumble. Lignin and acid free products come in virtually any color and texture.

But many of us live our lives by just seeing how it turns out. We would never just collect up some building materials and start putting them together and see how it turns out. But we do get up in morning, do whatever we are in habit of doing during day, and then go back to bed, and repeat process day after day. We build our lives by taking whatever comes to us each day, and putting it together to see what it turns out to be.

Consider how much more productive it would be if we didn't get up in morning until we had decided what we would build with our day. We would usually move ourselves a step closer to our goals each day, in spite of what day threw at us.

When we are born, we all start out exactly same, with essentially same potential. From then on we use that potential differently, and achieve different results. By understanding how and why we achieve different results, we can take control of our results from this day on, and change whole direction of our lives.

The 'Power of Mind' training gives a deeper understanding of how we can establish worthwhile and meaningful goals, and then move toward achieving them day by day.
