The Stories You Chose.

Hi there,

Every Scrapbook has its own little life.
Some quietly resonate.
Some take off flying.

Here are the ones that flew this year.
Your most-read, most-shared, most-loved stories of 2025.

We had a lot of fun making them.

Hope you enjoyed reading them just as much.

Wishing you a good break with family and friends.

The Golden Cup.

Every Wednesday at 10am, we gather for Creative Breakfast - the meeting where we review Scrapbook Chronicles.

Each of us brings at least two stories that might make it into that week's newsletter, all secretly hoping for one thing: the most-clicked story and The Golden Cup.

This year, we've tallied up the wins. Here are the top three:

1st place - Joe with 13 wins
2nd place - David with 11 wins
3rd place - Sara with 9 wins

Congratulations, Joe.
