Scrapbooking has become quite an industry in recent years and a rather fashionable past time.

Scrapbooking arose from people wanting to save recipes, poems, letters, pictures…quiet simply they kept them in a book and decorated it and that is pretty much the same with the modern equivalent. Of course we have photographs to include, to decorate and keep a record of a Christmas or any other event you might like.

There are a multitude of free scraps to download and print out to get your started…so we join Ruth Goodman to see how it was done in our Victorian Era.
