Wow- hard to believe this gets to happen to me again. I am so excited and passionate about scrapbooking and I have always focused on encouraging and educating the new scrapbooker.
I had the opportunity to author The Complete Idiot's Guide to Scrapbooking the first and second edition in 1999 and 2002.
And of course the fabulous book I co-authored with the esteemed Aby Garvey, The Organized and Inspired Scrapbooker in 2007. Luckily, a publisher picked up the rights and is reprinting the Organized and Inspired Scrapbooker as a paperback which will be out November of this year. Yeah!!!
and my newest book available September 15 2010 is called Start Scrapbooking.
This is what the promotional copy says.
"Forget feeling overwhelmed by stacks of photos. It's time to get down to basics and Start Scrapbooking!
Packed with everything you need to know to dive into the craft, Start Scrapbooking redefines stereotypes, showing you can have fun and scrap in simple ways. Along with more than 100 fresh layout ideas, you'll find all the essentials for getting started and staying on track. Determine your goals and then stock up on the tools of the trade. Set up your space and keep it organized. Find your starting point, then design layouts following basic principles. Plus, find a gallery of theme ideas for scrapping every occasion.
Start Scrapbooking your memories with:
- Info on all the essentials: supplies, organization, design, writing and more
- 100+ simple but creative layouts
- 20 step-by-step basic techniques
- Bonus layout sketches
Perfect for beginners looking to get started as well as any scrapbooker looking for simple ideas, Start Scrapbooking will help you record your memories with ease."
I am going to share more tomorrow about this book including who contributed, so come back!
Congratulations Wendy! Wish I could get my one girlfriend to start scrapbooking ... this would probably be the perfect book to get her.

I have been DYING to get my hands on the book on organization... and now, it looks like I'll be able to get it in time for my November birthday! Woooohooo! That leaves me a month to make up a wish list of storage system components for Santa to bring me! ;)
Seriously though... congratulations, Wendy! :)
