What do you consider a lost art?

When I ask what you consider a lost “art”, I use that term loosely. Because my example isn’t traditionally thought of as art, but it’s a craft that shows off an artistic side of a person. See, my sister loves the animated movie, “Up” (I believe it is a Pixar movie). You might remember an animated commercial of a widower in a house being carried away by balloons.
My sister used to scrapbook, but hasn’t touched one for at least 16 years. I got her an “Up” scrapbooking set for “The Adventure Book”. Since they’ve (her family) been traveling the past two years she has come to love it, and wants to head out at every opportunity. So I think this set will be perfect for her. Everything is digital today so I imagine scrapbooks aren’t a popular hobby, but I think it is a lost art. A tangible, colorfully decorated history of adventures and joy. I’m glad she was so happy with it.

Staying quiet when you see someone else using a phone is definitely a lost art! But then again, talking quietly on the phone so the conversation stays between you and whoever you called is also a lost art, in my opinion.

@AmbiePam I agree... The worst people always seem to want to talk about disgusting stuff as loud as they can, no matter where they're at or who can hear them.
I just don't understand people.

@DaddyEvil Having a loud phone conversation about family matters is the in thing to do on either a train or a Greyhound bus.

@AmbiePam Well today I went to the local library for some peace and quiet but this is the day when all the old biddies in the town congregate there to knit and gossip. They’re all hard of hearing so they shout, and I learned that lemon juice really helps get one particular lady’s bowels get moving in the mornings.

That is a great gift, Mindy must have loved it.
It will be interesting to see Amyra's spin on it as she is very talented and a younger generation's spin might be fun.
I think that anything hand written is a lost art.
I always write a summary at the end of the year, sometime during the month of December. I look back on them every few years.
I also think that hand written budgets are a lost art, there is alot of figuring in order to do up a budget and keep it current. It makes me much more accountable for my spending and saving.

Thats so sweet. I used to love that movie.
I remember when craft and hobby stores had aisles of scrapbooking stuff and all the fun stickers.
