Like most hobbies and activities, there is a point where it becomes an integral part of what you do. Here is when you know you have turned that corner with scrapbooking:

• you can’t walk through any department or craft store without checking out the scrapbooking section for new paper, embellishments, or stickers
• your scrapbook corner has become a scrapbook room
• you are doing renos on your house and tell your husband you want a bigger scrapbook room, not a bigger kitchen or closet. And you are completely serious.
• you have “scrapbook furniture” to keep your scrapbook room neat and chic while hiding all of your supplies
• you spend hours looking at lay outs, themes, and templates on the computer the way your kids spend hours on Facebook
  when you start a new book, you get into “the zone” and don’t emerge until the book is perfect
• you go on scrapbooking retreats
• you are on a first name basis with the entire staff at your favourite photo development place
• you know what you will be doing every Friday night for the foreseeable future
  every pen in your house is acid free
• you had to get an external hard drive just to hold all the digiscrapping elements you have downloaded
• you can’t walk through any department or craft store without checking out the scrapbooking section for new paper, embellishments, or stickers

Whether some, or all, of these apply to you, you are truly only a serious scrapbooker when you decide you are one.
