2009, Follow-up

Well, I have started to make good on my goals-not-resolutions for 2009 by doing a few pages in my scrapbook, which I haven't updated since I scrapped our 2007 trip to London. Yikes.
Anyhoo, after pulling out just a limited amount of my supplies, I have come to the conclusion that, yes, digital is where I want to go.
Resons being:
Even though I have a fairly simple style of scrapping, I still need a counter's worth of stuff: photo trimmer, paper cutter, adhesive, the photos themselves, pens, embellishments, etc. Digital would be much less messy.
I have realized that I am MUCH more likely to journal if it doesn't require me to handwrite my stories.
I am not only more likely to journal, but I am more likely to be descriptive.
I really dislike having all those little paper scraps leftover! I hate to throw away a perfectly good piece of paper, so I have scraps galore. If I worked digitally, no more scraps, less trash.
I could resize my photos to fit perfectly, rather than having to crop and perhaps ruining my excellent composition (!).
I still like the hands-on aspect of scrapping; it's a nice right-brain activity that's very relaxing. So, perhps I could print out my pages with the photos and then add the ticket stubs, receipts, boarding passes, etc. that I tend to collect as part of the story.
So, I will begin in earnest to sell my supplies on eBay and with the proceeds buy a nice printer capable of 12x12 printing. I do think I will miss the lovely sheen of a professionally printed photograph, though.
