Last night I worked on my “Prison Break” scrapbook. I haven’t done anything with it for a while and it has been languishing on my kitchen table for a couple of months. Not good – especially since the table is café style and no one else can use it while there are stacks of scrapbook paper and newspapers and glue sticks all over it. Right now I’m up to 47 pages, front and back. All of it newspaper articles. I’m not sure if I can download newscasts about it. If I can, I may burn them to a disk and include them too. My hope is that Ron Howard or Tom Hanks will want to do a movie and will come to me and ask to use the data I’ve put together. They will woo me with gifts and dinners and kind words and lots of $$$, and I will be gracious enough to hand it over. Yes, my dreams are grand, but there are good people in them!
I’m not sure how I’m going to bind all of this either. Will I put it in a regular scrapbook binder, or a 3-ring, or maybe a comb?

Wow! Wrote that about six months ago! Anyone else behind in their projects? Just me???? Well, last night I did take out my Prison Break scrapbook and the few newspaper articles I had left and got to work.
I didn’t make this fancy for a reason. It was a prison break, not a party. I added a few stickers – tongue in cheek, if you will, about travel and camping. To be fair, it’s very hard to find prison stickers. If there are any out there please send them to me!
Honestly, even though it was a county away I was afraid. We made sure the doors were locked, that the animals were inside, that there was a weapon close by in case of a confrontation. Thank God we never had to meet one of these guys.
I think I will have to outline my “Breaking Out” letters on the front to make them stand out more, but other than that I’m happy with the finished project. Now I can back to scrapping everyday life in 2015!
Have you ever made an entire scrapbook out of an event that happened in the public eye? Why did you do it? How did you scrap it? Did you share it with anyone?
