Well here is an addiction I had never even thought of.

Once you start you cannot get off. You see, the scrapbooking wolrd gets you into the idea that anything in life can be made better and more beautiful with a little pizzaz here and there. It may start out as photo albums but it then expands to cover your diary, your Christmas cards, birthday cards, hand written notes, letters, holiday notes, and then you start inventing reasons to send people things just so you can pass on the exciting colors and designs you just bought. Once you know you can spice up the things in your life — where does one end?

Sephia Tone? Sounds like I am missing out on something good here.

My Dad helps my Mom with her “addiction.” She’ll drive around to several places to get just the right decorations.

I think I’m a paper addict. I love the textures and colors! Some so much I don’t really want to use them.

I love your article! It’s so true. Tell your hubby he’s not alone and that he can feel secure that there are many other hubbies out there who share his thoughts. Perhaps we’re all crazy? LOL

I stay as far away from stacks of papers as possible. So, I’m with your husband on this one. But, I’ll tell you one thing, you’re kids will love you for it. What treasures for them to look back on. Good job, Mom!

Great article!

I have enough paper here with junk mail, bills and business stuff…………

We’re not even counting newspapers and kids stuff!

your husband and my husband should get together and go golfing…then we can scrap in peace…btw, do people really buy kid clothes before the scrapbook paper? lost on me…

So glad to hear some of you are in this with me! I’d pass on my husband’s number to the rest of you…but he doesn’t need any encouragement! Nice to meet all of you, I’ll be back with some more musings of a crazy scrapbooker soon. In the meantime, stop by my blog & say hi!

Scrapbook supplies must come before the clothes, food, and most anything else. Sometimes I have to come up with ideas so I can use my papers. So I make a mini book. I have a rabbit collection, (you know how they multiply?) so I made a mini book with photos to keep up with the collection….Easter right? come on crazy? Addicted maybe a little.:)
