We have all seen the endless rows of pretty paper, colorful stickers and cool gadgets in the scrapbooking aisle at our local arts and craft store, but many of us wonder what to do with them when we get them all home. On the other hand, you probably have endless boxes of old pictures (or folders on your computer from digital cameras) from every stage of your child’s life.  Organizing those pictures often gets pushed back on our to-do lists as more pressing matters arise. Yet Tasra Dawson, author and creator of the Real Women Scrap brand, sees scrapbooking as more than just finding a way to use those cute stickers or getting your photos organized; she sees it as a way of life.

In the book Real Women Scrap, Tasra provides inside tips on how to intertwine scrapbooking into your busy life and use it as a way to relax. In this easy to read book she provides helpful lessons (like how to crop a picture and add embellishments), while including encouraging real-life stories. She has graciously given Mom Central a Real Women Scrap kit to give one lucky Mom a head start on her scrapbooking adventure. This kit includes: a scrapbook, a t-shirt, one copy of Real Women Scrap, a Real Women Scrap Season One DVD, and a pocket notepad.
