*tears* I thought I was pretty young and thin! :)
No. Of course not. It may be more popular among older ladies because it's a good hobby. They have very fond memories and it's a good way for them to express themselves.
by AnonymousGirl on January 14th, 2008
No.
by DreAnna on May 6th, 2008

Not at all I'm 19 and pretty entergetic. I think it's a great way to preserve memories, bond with others if you're not doing it alone. It can also make great gifts (my siblings and I made my mother a scrapbook for x-mas) and if you're really good at it and have paitence it could be a good business oppurtunity.

Better not be- my wife does it, and she's only 23 and a far cry from fat!
At my old college a fair amount of the women did scrapbooking on a small scale as a hobby.
by girlpower on May 6th, 2008
No way! It's a very enjoyable hobby & something that has a lot of meaning to you & your family. My kids & their kids will cherish the scrapbooks I've put together for them. Think of it as an heirloom. BTW, I'm not old or fat Many women (and some men) of all ages are into scrap booking.
by ImNotAnonymous-COAT of Maestro-ness on May 6th, 2008
Yup. So what are all the young hot chicks doing this now? Thats news to me.
by Angelface on January 25th, 2009
Yes. I am both old and fat. I caution the ladies and lads starting out-I was once young and thin too.
by Katey0718 on November 15th, 2008
No!i love scrapbooking and i an only 18.
by Sunshine n Lollipops on November 15th, 2008
NO!
I love stickers & this hobby let's me collect stickers even though I'm a young cute professional.
Scrapbooking is best tho when you have collected pictures from a certain event, like a party, or vacation. Most old fat ladies don't have as many parties and fun vacations with lots of great pics to make scrapbooks of :P
by mamawidow on November 4th, 2008
no way! Our scrap club is 15 people from age 14-23. I'm the only old person there and I'm 30. Not exactly ancient.
by Anonymous on August 6th, 2008
Of Course Not!!! Old Fat Ladies jsut have nothing else to do lol ... im 17 and i have a wwhole crap book filled already full of everything and everywhere me and my boy friend and been and done i have pictures and all sorta of things i have collected and bought for my scrap book ... scrap books are fun cause when your all done you can sit back and look at all the neet things we did together and i like to sit back and look at my wonderful job ... plus my boy friend loves it ... we always sit back together on our anni and remember all of our times together... plus does it really matter if it is for olf farts or not ... scrapbooking is for everyone and should be ... dont you like to keep memories and photos somewhere fun so one day you can look back on everything. scrapbooking is truely a wonderful thing
by pink crayola on May 18th, 2008
No way! I'm 26 and if that's old, I'm depressed. But I've been scrapbooking since I was 17 and all of my friends love me for it! Whenever they come over they want to see the books I've done. If you look at it this way, when you actually ARE an "old, fat lady" you can look back on the years when you were a young-fun-loving girl with lots of friends! :D
by Yarnlady is happy every day on May 6th, 2008
From the point of view of a successful business owner of a scrap booking shop, their customers are both men and women of all ages and sizes. I wish I owned the scrapbook shop in our mall.
by Anonymous on May 6th, 2008
scrapbooking is for everyone. i have seen many differant kinds of people all over they world that do it. so just do it and have fun.
by Geek Goddess on April 29th, 2008
I'm neither fat nor old, so I'd say the answer is no. In fact, most of the people I see in the scrapbooking section getting stuff are younger than I am.
by Philip on April 16th, 2008
Nope, my wife loves it and doesn't qualify for either catagory.
by Anonymous on April 16th, 2008

by Egico is now Egioz on January 31st, 2008
Not at all - it's a great way to preserve photos in an interesting way. It's for everybody.
by KagomeShuko on January 27th, 2008
No! Plenty of people like to scrapbook!
by Audiotron on January 27th, 2008
No, people of all ages do that. Both sexes too!
by FaerieWhings on January 27th, 2008
No. I have a scrapbook that I would like to do but I have no idea how to do it.
by Anonymous on January 27th, 2008
I may be older than dirt, fairly fat! But I am lovable.
I have scrapbooked for years and, my daughters do also and my grandkids have also. Age and weight have nothing to do with scrapbooking, documenting your life for the future is what it's all about. My 2 year old grand-daughter LOVES looking at her history and that of her older brother also. Scrapbooking as a teaching tool for children to learn spelling, grammer and art is a wonderful fun tool, and they have something to be proud of that they can keep forever.
by Simply99 -- Not a fan favorite. on January 14th, 2008
You don't have to be old to do it.
Seriously, any hobby one has I believe is great. I play ukulele, and never even been close to Hawaii. Besides, there is nothing wrong with keeping a history of your best moments and memories.
by Anonymous on October 26th, 2009
No, not at all. I'm 16 and have been scrapbooking for about 3 years. I think its for anyone who enjoys it. I like it because I can preserve my memories in an attractive and creative way!
by sm00z on October 26th, 2009
No, not at all.
I do a lot of scrapbooking on line concerning genealogy, cars, old photos, etc.
by fl0j0e on October 22nd, 2009

by Mountain Momma on October 1st, 2008

Absolutely not ... it is for anyone who enjoys it. Scrapbooking is a great way of making and saving memories.
by jenn92 on September 2nd, 2008
Absolutely not...im not even 20 and i love making scrapbooks...i even made 1 for my sweet 16
by Answer And Ask on June 1st, 2008
Of course not, my wife is young and thin and she scrapbooks. I think with the forums, blogs, websites, and suppliers nowadays it is becoming more of a trend to remember those greater times in life instead of a book of pictures. Alziemhers disease is less of a problem in this case since you can journal everything. I think you should ask the question about needle point.
by Thomas on May 18th, 2008
NO well inless if ur an old fat lady
by scrapalatte on June 3rd, 2008
Nice generalization.
You've probably been preparing yourself to become a scrapper your entire life if you take photos, journal, keep ticket stubs, etc.
We saw a GIGANTIC upswing in sb'ing right after 9-11 because people realized that their memories deserved to be kept for future generations.
As we get farther and farther away from that fateful day, we (generalizing myself here) don't recognize our own mortality.
by Anonymous on June 3rd, 2008
And anyone else who wants to preserve their memories. Most of the woman I know are actually young mothers. I'm one of only a few old fat ladies who do it.
by Babaloo on August 20th, 2008
OMG no! i've been scrapbooking since i was a little girl.
i'm a young hot chick now! lol
by Infojunkiefriends on July 18th, 2008
I don't know if it only for "old fat ladies" but I know in my past ten years of "scrapping", I have come across some of the rudest ladies you ever want to meet! I have had items grabbed right out of my hands and I even took a scrapbooking class and they were so rude because I didn't have "all" the latest equipment. I have even gone to conventions and they are still rude! The only nice scrapbooking people I have met are from other countries like Australia. My husband has even gone into some of the scrapbook shops and he has even commented on how rude some of these women are!
Which do you think is better between Digital Scrapbooking vs. Non-Digital Scrapbooking?
