Top 5 Reasons Men Just Don't Get Scrapbooking
Summary:
A humorous exploration of scrapbooking from a man's perspective?"or rather, why it's a mystery to them!
---
As a long-time scrapbooker, I've spent over seven years preserving cherished memories in beautifully crafted albums. To me, these albums are invaluable pieces of my past. However, my husband sees them quite differently?"possibly as future firewood for cozy winter nights!
When he once asked about the cost of this hobby, I truly had no idea, but it's likely in the thousands. While it might be a bit embarrassing, knowing my grandchildren can one day flip through these albums and learn about me makes it all worth it.
So, why don’t men understand scrapbooking? Here are the top five reasons:
1. Shopping Adventures vs. Sticker Shock
Walking into a scrapbook or craft store is exhilarating?"a shopping adventure awaits! Meanwhile, your husband sits in the car listening to talk radio, wondering, "How much is she spending this time?" We see the latest patterned papers and sticker embellishments; they see overpriced paper and stickers. And let's face it, how many men truly enjoy shopping?
2. The Language Barrier
Scrapbooking has its own dialect. I once explained to my husband about my favorite embellishments, and his blank stare mirrored mine when he talks about hunting or cars. The scrapbooking lingo is a foreign language to most men.
3. The Mystery of Crops
Crops are a central part of scrapbooking that baffle men. Why gather with other women to cut up photos and document events?"risking mistakes that could lead to untold frustration? Men often don't grasp the female need for socializing, and scrapbooking is just another excuse!
4. Retreats: A New Level of Confusion
Scrapbook retreats further mystify men. Why leave the comfort of home to sleep on a hard mattress and cut more paper and photos? And spend more money in the process? They can't comprehend why we can't scrapbook at home, even as our toddlers run off with scissors, our five-year-olds tape the family cat, and teens raid our sticker collections for their notebooks.
5. Parties for Scrapbook Supplies
Parties for scrapbook supplies? Seriously? The name alone is perplexing. What kind of party do you attend, only to leave with less money? In their eyes, parties mean free food, not spending money. They miss the joy of chatting with friends, learning new techniques, and trying out new tools?"it's all frivolity to them.
Reflecting on it, why do we spend $0.60 on a sheet of paper, $12 on a fancy glue stick, or $30 on an album? Simple: we love it! Scrapbooking is an addictive hobby, and men are welcome to join us?"just learn the lingo, and hands off my tape runner!
