SCRAPPED: A Guy Investigating Scrapbooking

"Let me tell you that this is one great movie. Here we have a crafty thing that mainly women do alone or with other women. We get together, talk, put together our pages of pictures and memories--talking, laughing, sharing, maybe shedding a few tears hear and there.
Scrapbooking is big business too. There are magazines, books, aisles of specialty stuff and paper in craft stores to pick from--just LOADS of products we can buy to bring our stories to life.
Along comes this guy now, the one who did the SCRAPPED documentary, and he sets out to investigate all of the ins and outs of our beloved craft. He talks with women, find out what it means to them, and how the process works. Wes Thomsen-that's his name-through the process of making SCRAPPED discovers some profound insights about himself and the importance of family. And that, along with all of the scrapbooking that is talked about, is what makes this movie worth being watched and shared over and over again.
I highly recommend this film."
