She's 32 and artsy. She works for a Union in Seattle and is currently vacationing in rural Costa Rica. She does pottery and plays the violin. She speaks some Japanese and spent a year there. So, you kinda get the idea of what she is like. I just thought it'd be really sweet to gather pictures of us growing up together and kind of organize them to themes and making a scapbook looks fun! I think I could make it artsy and not soo cheesy, right? Any suggestions? It would be my first scrapbook. She is very sentimental so maybe she'd think it was sweet! I thought I'd kinda make it a "Sisters" theme. What do you think? I mean I don't want to use like lots of pink and put cutesy little stuff all over but I think I can be creative and make it look really artistic? THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE!

A scrap book would be a great gift

that is defiently a good gift. It is personalized, sweet, homemade, and a nice keepsake that isn't just junk she would throw away. I think it is a really good idea and the sisters theme is good 2. Then maybe get her some extra supplies so she can continue adding to it.

Nope, I think it would be good and heartfelt. My wife did that for her grandmother and she loved it. Especially if your sister is artsy!

It would be an amazing gift because it is very personal. I think she will love it!

I think that is a great idea. I think it shows how much you value her as a sister. She sounds like a person who values experiences more than "things", so this would be a gift which would show your appreciation for the experiences you have shared.

I think it would be a once in a lifetime gift and I have done it myself. We had a family reunion last year that my sister in law put together and I took all the pictures and my daughter (who is very good at scrapbooking) made her a wonderful scrapbook for my sister in laws birthday and she LOVED it!! It is a gift that no one else can give her and one that you will have made with your own hands and heart. I think she will LOVE it.
