TTC After a Loss

Non TTCAL related... who scrapbooks?

Seriously, some days I wish I could just quit my job and scrapbook all day. Therein lies my problem... how then would I afford my scrapbooking obsession? :)

I just got a Cricut! I bought it as an early 30th bday present for myself. It is SO AWESOME!

I'm going to an all inclusive "scrapbooking resort" weekend in May and I can't wait. It's here in San Diego.

Scrapbooking is the only thing that I'm more obsessed with then TTC.

Sorry for the randomness... just had to share! :) Who else is a scrapaholic?

Re: Non TTCAL related... who scrapbooks?

  • I do! I do! ?I only one other person my age who scrapbooks, luckily she's one of my best friends Smile.?

    I am so jealous that you got the Cricut; it is awesome! ?My friend ordered it once to try it out and we cut like a billion titles for our pages before she decided it was too expensive to keep.

    I'm sadly a scrap-hoarder. ?I just buy and buy things, but I never get the nerves to use it. ?They're just sooo pretty! Lol.

    My friend and I were looking into one of those scrapbooking resorts. ?Which one are you going to and where is it? (I know u said San Diego, but what part?)?

  • Oh I'm such a scrap hoarder too. :) I can't walk into Michael's without dropping at least $20!

    The scrapbooking resort is in Escondido. Here's the web address:  www.sdscrapinn.com

    And garcia15, if you're interested, we still have some availability the weekend I'm going: May 1-3. We rented out the whole place and it works out to $150 per person for the weekend, Friday through Sunday, but the place holds 12 and we have 8 girls right now... :)

  • I used to. But since we moved to a smaller place DH put all my scrapbooking stuff in the storage and I never went there to get it.... I keep saying that as soon as I have a baby belly to show, I will start scrap again :)

  • Mrs.Diffenbaugh you're welcome that weekend too if you're interested! (I was still typing my reply before I read yours... :)
  • Luvs I know how you feel... I am hoping that I have my BFP by May so I can start on some cute baby pages at my weekend at the scrapbooking resort...
  • I used to do a lot of scrappin' but now I've switched almost entirely to digital scrapbooks. You can find *tons and tons* of free papers and embellishments online and Costco prints 12x12 photos for only $2.99!

    It is so much cheaper and I think it looks as good or better than the pages I did the old way!

    Here are some examples of a couple pages- https://picasaweb.google.com/kimisuejoia/ScrapbookPages?feat=directlink

  • I think I could really get into it, if only I could find the time. I have a bunch of stuff that I bought one day, planning to make one... it's still sitting up in our spare room/future nursery.
  • I do!  Love, love love my cricut! You will have so much fun experimenting with all the fun features.  I got the color cartridges for the machine that I'm excited to try out!

  • Thanks! ?I'll have to check on that. ?Sounds like fun Smile
  • I do!! ?I got a Cricut for Christmas too! ?Its so cool and DH thought it was cool too once I set it up. :)

    I finally got a roll-top desk to use as "my space" for my scrapbooking!?

    Oh, Baby Bean! We will always miss you! With us for 6w3d -- June 9, 2008.

    Thanks! I think they've mentioned something called Scrapblog (?) You might post in the morning when more people are here and ask about it!
