Dude, where's the men's aisle?

So I like to take pictures and respect my family's adventures enough that I think their memories deserve something better than a shoebox. Yet, when I went into the local store to find a nice way to capture the essence of our life, I discovered that the stores assumed several things:

1. That I like flowers and ribbons and buttons and bows.
2. That gardening and grandchildren are my two greatest passions.
3. That when I look at a scrapbook I think it's fun to play "Where's Waldo?" trying to find my photos through all the garbage glued on the page.
4. That I own and photograph several cats.

Clearly, none of these things are true.

I figured that there must be a way for a man to plow through this stuff and make something worth the memories. The Scrappy Dude is a blog of that ongoing quest. Are you be man enough to join me?
