  1. I am doing historical scrapbooking and plan to use a similar program from Indiana dated Thursday May 24, 1894. Interesting stuff! They ended theirs with "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." Can you imagine that today in a public school?
    Have we progressed or regressed?

  2. Pros and cons there, for sure. Your historical scrapbooking, is it geared toward a particular person or family or is it done for the art of it?
