Scrapbooking Creates a $2.5 Billion Industry

by SteveMonday, January 03, 2005   

Reuters has an interesting read about the growing scrapbooking industry. Lisa Summerour, a rising actress, who appeared in the movie Philadelphia, including other television roles, gave up her acting career and opted to become scrapbooking professional.

"If someone would have said the word 'scrapbooking' to me, I probably would have cringed and gone on with my day," she said. "I just didn't see anything appealing to it."
The hobby, which racked up $2.5 billion in sales in 2003, is considered the hottest craft activity by the Craft & Hobby Association. The association reports there are approximately 25 million scrapbookers in the United States.
