B&B Review: Scrapbook Update

Each Thursday I review a book or blog related to scrapbooking.
The Review
One of the first scrapbook-related blogs that I began following is Scrapbook Update. Initially, I began subscribing to the blog last Spring for my dissertation research. I did not analyze the posts or anything like that, instead I was reading the blog for insider information on the industry. Nancy Nally, the woman behind Scrapbook Update, is the go to person for scrapbook industry news.
I reviewed the posts from February 4 March 3, 2011. There were a total of 12 posts. Of these 12 posts, one was about Sunday Sales (sales from the big-box craft stores) and three were about Paperclipping Roundtable (Nancy is a co-host).
Three posts were written by Betsy Burnett, who is the reporter on all things die-cutting. Two posts were written by May Flaum. May’s posts seem to be directed more at actually scrapbookers rather than industry workers. Nancy had two excellent posts during the month. On February 10, she identified her top ten hot picks from CHA and on March 2, she discussed attendance issues and CHA’s venue choice.
Scrapbook Update is for everyone. Industry workers and those aspiring to be industry workers definitely should be reading this blog. Everyday scrapbookers will find a few posts about scrapbooking in general but will also get a glimpse of the behind the scenes of industry work if they decide to read the blog. Overall, Scrapbook Update is a scrapbooking-related blog that I am glad exists. It is entertaining and informative.
