Many of us claim we are not creative enough or artistic enough to scrap great pages. People most often think of scrapbooking as just that – creating great looking pages. Those who have immersed themselves in the craft however have discovered it isn’t so. Scrapbooking is putting your thoughts and memories in a form that you can come to again and again when you need to simply remember and count your blessings. Scrapbooking is your memories put into paper --- in a form you can leave behind long after you are gone... In a form that also speaks much about you, without you saying a word.

Any scrapped page always turns out beautiful in its own way when it reflects the scrapper’s heart – her most important scrapping tool. Not being “creative enough” therefore is never an excuse to try your hand in scrapbooking. If you haven’t done so yet, now would be the perfect time.

I began scrapping several years ago with a few of my friends who also discovered the beauty of the craft almost the same time that I did. At first we would take turns hosting the meetings in our individual houses but eventually, my attic became our preferred scrapping venue. It is in this special place that we were able to consult with each other and share our techniques, tools and materials at the same time we scrapped and shared the most important people and moments of our lives.

These social gatherings gave us the opportunity to get to know each other and to form a deeper bond of friendship. It also enabled us to gather inspiration from each other’s work and to learn and try out fresh new ways of putting our memories into paper form.

Pretty soon, whatever was available in Manila (Philippines) didn’t seem enough for all of us as there were tons of memories still waiting to be scrapped, techniques waiting for the right tools and scrapping styles that needed the right materials. I soon found myself getting hold of imported scrapbooking materials for me and my friends more and more frequently than ever.

What began as a hobby has evolved into a business aptly named My Little Attic.

Welcome to my little corner on the web. I hope to provide you with a wide variety of tools and materials that would help you scrap your memories not just more creatively or beautifully, but with joy.

Greetings from one happy scrapper to another,
Nenette S. Madero
