Good morning everyone - happy Tuesday!

I love reading everyone's responses. Seems like we all have a lot in common!

To those who are sadder and have lost someone this year - .

To those who are fatter - let's work on losing it together!

To those who are poorer - let's hope that improves for everyone. I do love Joanne's response that she is emotionally richer. Good for you!

Flo- congrats on getting your 2006 book put together. I'm pretty far behind on my scrapbooking. Need to get back to it. If you ever want to get together and check out each others books let me know.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning everyone - happy Tuesday!

Joanne - congrats on getting your 2006 book put together. I'm pretty far behind on my scrapbooking. Need to get back to it. If you ever want to get together and check out each others books let me know.

Have a great day everyone!

Mary,

I assume you mean me? That would be great. My first 2 are just some pictures with stickers you will see. Not much. This is going to be my first try at a real scrapbook. It will be good for you to look at you could tell me how I did. Also, this way when I do the one for the Members Cruise I will know better.

I do have a question about the one for the members cruise. Do they sell special packages like they have done on previous special cruises? I know for the Mexican Rivera one they had special books and inserts.

Have a good day. It seams like it is going to be pretty nice here today. Tomorrow it is back to the way winter is usually like here.

Flo - my bad. Yes I meant you! I fixed my initial post. The bad news is that no they do not sell any special books or pages for the Member Cruise since it is a charter and only one cruise. The good news is that DVC gives you lots of paperwork that is great for scrapbooking!

Have you ever been to an Archivers? They have a room where you can work on your own scrapbooks and the good news is that if you need anything you can buy it right there in the store and use it. Also if you buy your cardstock there you can use their die-cutters for free. I know there used to be one out by you but I think they closed. There is one not far from me right off of Golf Road (and Milwaukee) if you want to come out some weekend.



UTOP with Flo! PDFG and all our friends who need it!
