Question
How does Hilary Erickson integrate scrapbooking into her professional life?
Answer
Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse.
I actually started in the online space as a scrapbooker. I’ve been scrapbooking since the early 90’s and have over 20 albums. Over the years, that love of storytelling and photos turned into blogging on Pulling Curls (back in 2005), and that blog is what eventually grew into my pregnancy, parenting, and home-organization business.
Scrapbooking also opened doors professionally: I’ve been published in Creating Keepsakes and Memory Makers scrapbook magazines, and that experience with layout, story, and design still shapes how I create blog posts, teaching materials, and even online courses. At its core, it’s all the same muscle: taking real family life and turning it into something helpful, encouraging, and memorable.
Is there a specific way you’re hoping to blend a hobby like scrapbooking into your own work?
