Hello, I am looking to start a scrap book of memories for my niece to give to her when she is older.

I am looking for a hardback*prefered but not a nessecity* large scrapbook,
If possible a little bigger than A4 size

Not really quite sure where to start to look

Please any advice,

Just search on google for scrapbook stores. I'm not sure about where you live but in my town there's two stores that have everything you'd need to complete one. Also try those big chain megastores (Walmart in the US) they usually have a scrapbook section. If not, internet shopping always works.

you can usually get the empty books in bookstores/stationary shops, and you can usually get old copies of papers and the like from the publishers if thats what your looking for

My buddy's sister is really big into scrapbooking...there's actually a store she goes to that is call "The Scarpbook Store" but I'm the store is here in Vancouver...I'm sure that doesn't help...

i don't really know about stores in england but walmart is actually pretty unique. there is nothing like it in Australia, i mean we have department stores but nothing like walmart that sells pretty much everything

i work in a crafty/sewing store and we sell heaps of scrapbooks. try those kind of places

There is a Walmart eqivilent called ASDA-actually it is owned by Wallmart. Also try Woolworths WH Smiths should be able to help and if you have one Partners. These stores should have something

jeanie (SV) & anthon (KCL) picked out an awesome scrap book for me from Michaels (which is a crafts store here in the states). it's large like the old style family photo albums and the covers screw together so that you can add more pages at anytime.

jeanie...do you remember the brand?

also, target is online...so you can still shop there. i know that they have been keeping a scrapbooking section in all their stores lately.

the other option (something we've been doing) is a scanner. Scan it and you have it for ever, and it takes only virutual space
