Your dad is so cool! I think it's amazing that an 82 yr old man scrapbooks.

How cool! I love when elderly people do not just sit around and are active. My MIL's father is like this, he is 90 plus but still sharp as a tack and very social! He was a very active tennis and golf player until a few years ago. He began having hip problems and is now in a wheelchair - though that has not really slowed him down. He is still a traveler!
So happy that your dad is still going strong!

Thanks so much for sharing this with us Cam, not only is the scrapbooking center amazing but what a great hobby for your dad to take up, not only does it sound like he is truly enjoying himself, but how great that he took up a hobby that is so dear to you as well.

what a great job, not only on all the scrapping he has done, the 'redo' of the cabinet is fantastic. I am sure he has many many stories to tell. Thanks for inspiring me!

Cam, that is so neat! I love everything about it. My father is 85 and would never ever think about doing something like this.

Your dad's story really touched me. I'm sure his books are priceless to your family. I hope he did a lot of journaling in them. And his center is awesome!
