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

If you had an inside connection ...
...to Santa, what would you ask him to give you for Christmas?
Yep, back to starting off with the "Question of the Week!" again. I can hardly believe how the marketing for Christmas has already been coming so hard! Didn't we just have Labor Day and Back to School???
Of course, I'd love to know what your answers are that are scrapbook related, but really anything goes.
Our family recently put together some "dreams" that we'd like to accomplish in our lifetimes. One of those is a 15 x 15 scrapbook room with plenty of work space along the walls and TONS of storage.
One of my non-scrap related wishes is a REAL vacation! Not one away from the children, but just one away from the daily grind of reality. Let's just say I've had my fill of daily loads of laundry, washing dishes and just trying to "stay ahead" of the tidal wave of housework! I'd love to take a trip to Disney World for a whole week and just really enjoy ourselves.
Do share your wishes! Oh, and if you've got a little scrapbooker or artist in the family, you might enjoy this website: Kidz Worxx.

I think I've gotten all the bugs!
I am pleased to announce that my new product, "How to Plan a Highly Successful Scrapbook Crop" is now ONLINE!! After staying up WAY past my bedtime and it still not being done, to finally getting it all on the net after ironing out a few "bugs and glitches", I am so glad it's finished!
I hope you will check it out. It's been the main focus of my attention for the past couple weeks and now it's available for you! I've got an introductory offer you won't want to pass up. I can't say how long it will be there, but the faster you act the better! Basically it will teach you how to hold your own scrapbook crop for profit.
Now that this project is complete I can focus on getting some Fall theme titles to you. Here are some that "came to me" after being inspired by the beautiful foliage here in North Carolina:
Falling for Autumn
Leaves Galore!
The Colors of God's Handiwork
Cool Breeze, Fall Trees
Pumpkin Patch Fever
I'll try to bring you some more next week when my brain is more functional than it is right now!
Have a Happy Halloween!

Pet lovin' scrappers unite!
Our family has been living in sort of a zoo lately...and I'm not even talking about the 4 children!! Our family has grown to include a hound mix puppy named Trooper (who weighs in at 50 pounds of solid muscle!), an 8 week old kitten named Sambo, and a mouse named Minnie!
Trooper is our first dog and it's like having another toddler in the house! He's really a very sweet dog and great with the kids. I know we will love having him be a part of our family for years to come...we just need to work on some obedience training for now.
With our mini zoo in mind, I found this website for scrappers who love their pets. It's VIPetScrappers.com and they have a kit just for pet lovers. The site is small, but they do offer a discount.
Well, I am going to keep it short today. I have been working feverishly trying to get my new audio ready for release next week. I can't remember if I told you what it's about! Want to know?
It's about having a successful scrapbook crop, and I am not talking about the kind where you just have a few people over to your house and snack on M&M's all night. I love those, but this product I've been working on is for those who want to make money hosting and organizing a scrapbook crop.
Now, if you remember from last week, those who buy my 50 Scrapbook Crop Themes ebook from my Scrapbook Ideas website will be getting a free copy of this audio and accompanying files. This is a TREMENDOUS value, considering that the cost of this new product will be at least DOUBLE the price of that ebook.
So, from now until October 31st, anyone who buys the 50 Crop Themes ebook will get the audio free...no strings attached. It's just my way of thanking you for being a customer.
Well, it's late and I have more typing to do! See you next week!
