One of my favorite things in scrapbooking is the journalling. I love to write. Put into paper thoughts whirling in my head. Growing up, I have maintained a diary on and off. Wrote things that I could not verbalise. I wish I kept them. My journals are somewhere in my childhood bedroom in the Philippines gathering dust.
