I saw this and just had to smile and share:
Scrapbooking. Its an addiction
Our addiction starts innocently with this statement:
Look - I got invited to a 'party' and I won't have to buy a basket,
or jewelry, or candles, or even another plastic container! This
party is different because I'm going to MAKE a page for a scrapbook!
I'm going to learn how to put all those pictures we keep in a box
into a photo album that will last lifetimes!
THEN FOR YEARS AFTERWARDS this can be heard in the home:
How much can a pair of scissors cost? And why do you need an entire
cutting system if you bought scissors?
The photo album was HOW MUCH? You HAD to get a paper trimmer too?
Then please tell me ..what are the scissors for?
How many magazines do you need to buy to be INSPIRED? And what's
with all this paper?
You want what for your birthday? A xyron? What the h*** is a xyron?
I don't understand why you need a digital camera. The 35mm I bought
after college works just fine.
Ouch! I just stepped on one of your %&*(*&% eyelets!
MORE paper? You haven't even used up what you got already!
First the camera, then the printer, what's next a scanner?
I see..so if we get these target cubes you'll be able to see the
paper you have and then you won't have to buy anymore?
Son, how many times have I told you - You CANNOT play with MOMMY's
tools!
I don't get it ..why do we have to go to Lowes to get paint chips if
we aren't doing any painting around here?
Don't worry sweetie..we won't tell Mommy you borrowed her stickers
to make Barbie look pretty.
You had a 40% off coupon and you still spent over $100?
What do you need all this yarn for? You don't even knit! Do you?
No dear. I do not know how to scan and stitch. Maybe someone on YOUR
message board can help you there.
Who took Daddy's sandpaper?
Don't worry sweetie..we won't tell Mommy you borrowed her stamps to
make yourself look pretty.
It's 11PM. Isn't that layout done YET?!
Shhh..don't tell Daddy that Mommy borrowed his sandpaper.
Yes, I guess we can stop at that cute little scrapbook store during
our vacation.
You're going to take a crap? I meant go to a crop..nevermind.
NO MOMMY! NO MORE PICTURES! NO MORE PICTURES! NO MORE PICTURES
So who is this Becky Higgens and what's the big deal about her? She
an actress or something?
I thought you already had a sewing machine. What's this one for?
No..I've never printed on vellum before..YES..I can help you figure
out the right printer settings..but what's vellum?
Queen of the week doesn't mean you won't still make dinner, right?
Right? Whew.
You just joined a what? A swap? I'm really happy for you honey.
MORE paper? What's so special about this 'BRAZIL' paper?
Where did all these boxes of pictures come from..I thought you were
going to put them all in a scrapbook..
