Why Scrapbook About Friendship?

In scrapbooking we tend to focus on our kids, our family members, our partner and ourselves.  Documenting about a friend can be a welcome change and a way to extend your scrapbooking repertoire by trying something new.

Making a special scrapbooking page about a long time friend can be very rewarding. For one thing it makes you focus on what is important to you about them  Sometimes we take friendships for granted and it is not until we stop and think about how much support our friend has provided over the years that we can truly appreciate them.

In the years to come your descendants are going to want to know about the people who were significant to you in your life. As with telling any story the treasure is in the details.  Other peoples lives and friendships are fascinating and provide a window into a person's life story and their psyche.

Perhaps you want to give the scrapbook to your friend as a gift.  This can be a lovely way to further cement your friendship by showing your friend what they mean to you.

Are you going to document a special memory of the friendship?
A layout that focuses on the development of your friendship over time?
A right now layout that shows all the great things you appreciate about your friend in the here and now?

When scrapbooking a special friendship layout think about why the friendship is important to you.  How long have you known each other?  Did you meet in school, college, work, a hobby group, neighbors? What activites do you do together to sustain the friendship?
