Photo books "more than a hobby" for American TV presenter

Scrapbooking and making photo books as a hobby became popular in the US long before it crossed the pong to Britain, with most families putting memory books together to mark special occasions.

TV presenter Nancy O'Dell has now taken that one step further, as she launches her own range of personalised photobooks which can be created online.

The Entertainment Tonight presenter has launched a new scrapbooking line with Creative Memories. Celebrity Baby Scoop reported.

She told the news provider: "I was bound and determined to make scrapbooking simple as I would always hear from my friends, 'I, too, want to put those special pictures of my kids in an album, but how do you have time for that?' Memory keeping is too important in giving children a sense of belonging and importance to miss out on it because you feel it takes too long or you don't know what to do."

Her range of products includes a line for recording a baby's first year, which has been named after her daughter Ashby, and a line to help document when a child first speaks, called Simply Said.

As well as providing this line for parents, Nancy has also written a parenting book called Full of Life.
