I keep journals too, but not scrapbooks in the strictest sense of the word. I keep a couple of different things. I carry a small notebook in my camera case and record various observations regarding plants and animals, etc.. I record my GPS waypoints for the location, along with date, time, air temp, and Beaufort air. I take a lot of photos when I'm out in the field too. I've been keeping this kind of notebook for about 3 years now.

When I get home, I enter the info into my computer by writing up my field notes and dropping in appropriate photos to illustrate my observations. Most of the time, I just burn a CD with my notes on it every few days. However, I've recently started printing off the pages and assembling them into a hard copy journal that can be read by people who don't like to read this kind of thing on a computer. Eventually, I may take this even a step further and do something along the lines of a hand-made book. Biggest problem for me is that I don't like to do things that cut into the time that I spend outdoors. Might be a good project for wintertime though.
