Does this sound like a stupid idea...?

Question

I love to scrapbook, and one of my goals when I become an adult is to go to every state in the U.S.A. I was thinking about doing like a scrapbook with a page for every state. My sister said it was stupid, but I think it is a pretty good idea.

Answer 1

That is a great idea! It'll be fun! Don't worry about what ur sister says! Have fun!

Answer 2

I think that's a great idea! And if you are worried there are some states you won't make it to (or just want to get a jump start), I bet there are people from different states who would make a page from their state and swap with you for one of yours. :)

Sounds fun - have a good time!

Answer 3

Go for it.  It sounds like fun.

Answer 4

I think that is a wonderful idea.  Its great to go and see all the states.  Scrapbooking is an excellent way to record your memories on your journey and you'll have to show your children and grandchildren later on.  Good Luck!

Answer 5

No, it's not stupid at all.  I collect magnets, weird I know (my parents got me started on it when I was a child), and I still want a magnet from every state. Your idea is cute, it's like your own super-states passport! LOL! Go for it!

Answer 6

Fantastic!  If possible, have your picture taken at the entrance sign to each state, you know, "Welcome to New York" , etc.  That would be a personalized addition to each page!  Enjoy, and hope you get a chance to visit all fifty states!

Answer 7

Your sister would say it is stupid because it is your idea. Go for it!

Answer 8

I think it's a brilliant idea!  And what memories you'll have when you get old like me.  :D

Maybe you could start making a list of things to make sure you do/get in each state. For example, if you want 2 post cards per state or 1 post card from the capital of each state.  Or a napkin from every restaurant you eat in (or just dinner to save space).  A picture of each place you sleep (camping, hotels, homes, etc).  It's amazing what you will remember later on, just from seeing a picture of the hotel with something you liked (the pool, the room) in the shot.

If you go, have a blast for the rest of us!

Answer 9

I don't do any scrapbooking myself, but it souds like a great and interesting idea to me. I hope you get to see all the states. I've seen a lot of them but I havent been to the Dakotas or the northwest. I'm married and tied down now.If you have the opportunity go for it! a scrapbook would save some great memories.
