Poetry Workshop

I can barely remember the words to my favorite songs, so trying to recall verses to popular poems is not something I would even consider attempting. Yet, during a scrapbook workshop I attended over the summer, the instructor insisted that infusing layouts with pretty prose is a sure-fire way to make page designs especially memorable.

On those days, I don’t scrapbook. Shocker, I know. But, what IS the point if you are not inspired? What IS the point if you are not having fun?
