100 Days of Happiness - Day 62

[dizzojay]

This evening I took a little time to update my convention scrapbook to include my photos and other mementoes from Asylum 17.  I've now got three of these scrapbooks on the go.  One which covers the Jus in Bello cons and two covering the Asylums (one of which is full, and the second which is a work in progress)!

It's fun to browse through them from time to time, and I know that in many years to come when the show is no more and the fandom has dispersed, these books will be a fabulous memory of magical times.  Hopefully, I will have filled up about fifteen scrapbooks by then!! ;D

Here's a peek at a couple of the latest pages in my Asylum book (volume 2):

I have a notebook similar to that that has all my pics, paraphanalia and what autos I could put in there. It is fun to look at. Question? You only get 5x7 pics of your photo ops? I question cause it looks like you have 2 on a page.

No, they're 10" x 8". It's an A3 book (about 12.5" x 16.5"), so I can just about fit 2 to a page!
The pictures from Jus in Bello are a bit smaller, I think they're 6" x 8".

when the show is no more and the fandom has dispersed - hush your face!

I was sort of thinking in maybe about seventy five years time!

Oh, that's ok then! LOL

What a lovely memento and a great place to keep all the other con bits & pieces as well as the photos.

And I agree with amber - when the show is no more and the fandom has dispersed - hush your face!

It is a lovely memento.
And consider my face well and truly hushed!

Obviously I use computers but there's something
to be said for a book one can handle with one's
paws. The genuine article. :)))

I scan everything as well, but yes, these are exactly as you describe. A lovely souvenir of great times with real pages to flick through!

When the show is no more and the fandom has dispersed *Adopts Dean voice so it's less rude* Shut your pie hole, woman! ;) ♥

I love that you have these books. My scrapbook is all over my walls ;) ♥♥

I don't have any more wall space to spread my scrapbook over!

And as I said to Anne-Marie, I was thinking in terms of about seventy five years time when the show had finally ended.

LOL! I know, I was only joshin' :)

Syndication hun, syndication. The show will NEVER end!

"when the show is no more and the fandom has dispersed " ... this Family fandom is much too strong to vanish, BB!
*clings*
I loooove your Albums - the Pictures are AMAZING and so are YOU!

When the show is no more and the fandom has dispersed ... in about seventy five years time!
I fully expect to stay here and grow old and decrepit with you lot!
