Scrapbooking and the holidays

Now that Christmas is just 10 days away, are you even thinking about scrapbooking? I've been purging a bunch of supplies that I have had in storage for over a year and have final come to grips that I just am not going to use them!

I went through a phase of collecting a bunch of mini albums for "some day"... I actually have only made one mini album that wasn't for my scrapbook business. It was a gift for my mother in law to keep photos of all her foster children in. Turned out great, but I just don't do many themed albums like that. So...I'm getting rid of all my mini albums.

That's going to be my question of the week. What is something scrapbook related that you've held on to for "some day" that you really should get rid of?

On a shopping note, I stumbled upon this awesome site that gets you a bunch of discounts for other scrapbook sites. It only costs $37 and you get $100's of scrapbook goodies! Check it out.

Now, if you've been shopping for a Cricut, I saw them at my local Wal-mart for $179. Not bad compared to what I've seen them going for at Michael's. Plus they have the tote, cartridges and lots of other goodies. Might be worth giving Santa a little hint to head to Wally World before the 25th!

Another thing I spotted there was the rolling tote I use for my own scrapbook supplies. It's a Stanley tool chest on wheels and, if I remember correctly, it was priced around $22.00!! Yes, that's just $22, not $220!!! It's black and yellow and was actually part of one of those center of the aisle displays at our Walmart. I must say that for the price, you really can't beat it. After all, it's built for men and their tools, so it can take a beating. Take it back to the craft dept. to see how 12 x 12 papers WILL fit in the bottom. It's got lots of storage and your husband or boyfriend won't feel weird buying it for you. Plus it will leave more $$ in his Christmas budget to fill it up with other scrapbooking goodies!

Well, that's all for today. Don't forget to check out this site with the scrapbook goodies I found today!

Scrapfully yours,
Susan
