Scrappers - HOW true is this...

[pattyT]

Wife says to husband...

"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!"

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 heck 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?

And the hardest one of all...

-Where did all these boxes of pictures come from...I thought you
were going to put them all in a scrapbook!!!!

OMG too funny. I read your post outloud to my DH, he laughed at few points but didn't get most of it , he's not up to par on scrapbook lingo yet.

Do you have a microphone hidden in my house somewhere? Here's one I'll add that is very common at my house:

Sunday afternoon after church:

Me: "I get the JoAnne's, Hobby Lobby and Michael's ads first!!!"
DH: "Why? What in the world do you need now?"
ME: "Whatever is on sale, Baby!"

While some of that may be true, I have to admit (brag?) the DH is pretty understanding about this hobby? addiction? of mine.

In fact yesterday, we came home from church and he said "you know, I was picking up my cleaning (work uniforms) Friday and shirt laundry is pretty inexpensive. I only wear a couple dress shirts a week and I was thinking about taking them in. That way you don't have to worry about ironing them...you've got other things to do like scrapping. It's a better use of your time."

How COOL is that?!?!?!?

Tooo funny. True! but funny!

Must admit, my dh is wonderful. He counts scrapping teh same as cleaning house or his rennovation work. (It's for us, so it's a good thing). Money I spend is for the albums, not a problem. Did I mention, I keep the check book?

However, wehen I was gettign ready for the crop I hosted Saturday he said "Just those 2 boxes over ther need to go?"

Well, plus the 3 tubs in the back room and my cart, album tote, those other 2 bags and just a few other little things.

Now if I could hire someone to put my laundry away, my life would be perfect.

By the way, Deb, what's an iron?

Patty - Thanks for the post, I needed a laugh this morning!

 

[FantasticDisFamily]

Carrie - it is a tool...and (gag!) one I bought a new one of on Friday! Had to finish Andrew's costume for the variety show and could no longer make my old one work any more. It has been iffy for months now. Oh...and since it is a major tool for the costuming work I do....I hate to admit it but the one I bought (duplicate of my old one) was more expensive than the Sizzix! But at least I don't need accessory sets for the iron!

Hmm... Think I've seen my MIL use that before. Dh does too on occasion. I'm a BAD wife (just ask my mil). My mom showed me how if you spray something with water, most of the wrinkles com out. I think I would have saved the money for a new alphabet if I were you!

Oops, I think that was a hijacking. Sorry Patty!

 

[MicMin]
