Kangaroo & Joey is the name of a scrapbooking supply business operated by Keri Schneider of Tempe, Arizona. She creates scrapbooking papers, die cuts, tags and stickers, and sells them through scrapbooking shops all over the country.

The Arizona Republic newspaper recently ran a story about her.

Her website has a section on scrapbooking ideas, and is loaded with some really great looking pages and albums. She tells you what materials she used to create them.

The Crayola Store has added a new growth chart made of fabric, with cut outs to insert photos.

The chart, which comes in the shape of a Crayola crayon, measures about 4 1/2 feet tall by six inches wide. Looks like a great way to associate a photograph with each stage of a child's growth.

An article in the Arizona Republic shares some of the littlest memories of people's childhood days.

Kay M. recalled her grandma's kitchen, where she and her sister would make "roly-polies", little leftover strips of piecrust from the pie she was making. Grandma would let them stand on a chair, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on the strips and then roll them up and bake them. When the "roly-polies" came out of the oven, they thought they had baked something magnificent.

Stuff like this doesn't require several photos, only one. It doesn't take much to jog the old noodle and put a smile on someone's face when they remember something like this.

And it's not so much about the "roly polies" either. It's the sister and the grandma that makes the memory special.

For a scrapbook layout like this, I'd settle for one photo of the moment, with a panel that describes the roly-polies in a couple of sentences. Then, apply some thin glue all over the page in squiggly lines, and sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon on to the glue, to give the page an appropriate "smell".

Wendy Armstrong of Concord, New Hampshire said her interest in scrapbooking had grown to such a degree, that she almost kicked the baby out of the nursery to make room for supplies.

"This was not so much a scrapbooking hobby as a collecting hobby."

Now, she's gone digital. Everything is on the computer now, and now her hard drive looks like a disaster area.
