Collecting scrapbooking (剪贴簿) is a kind of hobby. It is popular for more than 500 years. Some people call it a friendship book. They keep pictures, letters, poems and other things they want. Today people collect many things in scrapbooks. Some people have funny collections, like pictures of the world's most ugly dogs. Other people may collect stories about the bad weather. 

To start your scrapbooking, first, you should decide what to collect. Start with just one idea. Next, you need a book with paper, scissors and glue. Then use the scissors to cut out the pictures or stories. At last use the glue to stick them to the background paper. 

Scrapbooking is so popular these days. I think people want to record their family history and show it to other people. When I was a boy, I always saved bits of paper, things like movie tickets and holiday postcards. I made my first scrapbook for my grandfather ten years ago when he died. When I sat at his desk, I found some wonderful things like my grandfather's birthday cards and photos in the past, then I put them in the scrapbook. After that, I made two more scrapbooks for my brother and me with beautiful collections. I want to keep those happy and beautiful memories (记忆). That's the real meaning of scrapbooking.
