I say "go for it!" I refused to get sucked into the scrapbooking bug. I figured if I could just get my pictures printed out and put in an album that I could be satisfied with that--and keep my focus on other hobbies. I already had stuff for cross stitch, crochet, knitting and sewing. But my daughters...one got into jewelry pretty big and the other into scrapbooking. We bought stuff for them. However, as they leave home, their stuff goes with them...at least gradually.
