scrapebooking

[Ron G]

The old lady has gotten into this new trend of scrapebooking.I've never seen the like,this stuff cost a fortune way more than any lures.i think were going to go broke buying all this stuff,im glad shes found a new hobby she really likes but she has jumped into this with both feet running,im just venting a little does anybody elses wife or girlfriends do this?or is this just a thing here?they even have stores just for that we went to one and it was huge.

How are you at accepting constructive criticism? I don't want to scrape you the wrong way.

Yes it is a very active thing. My SIL is really into it which making selecting Christmas and Birthday gifts easy. We just buy her scrapbooking supplies and she is content.

Re: scrapebooking

Re: scrapebooking

Hey Ron...<br /><br />I'm in the same boat (ha.. good pun)... My wife is in it WOT right now. I don't want to calculate the amount of money we have spent on it so far. But, at least she has a hobby that she really enjoys. She gets together with her scrapbooking friends and trades ideas. Then theres the<br /><br />punches<br />scissors<br />stamps<br />stickers<br />books<br />pages<br />inserts<br />paper<br />eyelets<br />embellishments<br />pens<br />pencils<br />inks<br />wire<br />rope<br />embossers<br />heat guns<br /><br /><br />oh... did I mention they need a place to store all this crap too?!<br /><br />Sean

She can store it anywhere she wants, as long as its not in your "boat garage" right?

Re: scrapebooking

Sorry you don't respond well to constructive criticism so I will take the e of scrapbook and put it in prtty and you will be all set. You might have been a little more discreet if would have left out the r. <br />

(and I'll have to do all the work myself) It already has power and water - I guess I better get ready to insulate and sheetrock.(Don't want the selfish ***** to catch cold and run up the Doctor Bills) I'm just glad she enjoys it. (As if we were already spending too much time together.)

Re: scrapebooking

See . . . I like it when the Ole Lady has stuff like this that she is doing.<br /><br />It works like this: Me, "Honey I need a new prop" She says "we can't afford it" Me, "we just spent $500 on your scrapbook stuff". Her "Yeah, you're right, sorry, go ahead".<br /><br />Or like this: Me, "Honey I need a new prop" She says "we can't afford it" Me "do you need $500 more scrapbook stuff?" Her "I love you, go ahead and get the prop, I'll be back in a couple of hours".<br /><br />Either way, I get a prop. Works like a charm

More like "that's why we can't afford a prop...."<br /><br />

Again, " that's why we can't afford it...."<br /><br />

Re: scrapebooking

My wife does the crapbooking too. (oops, did I mispell something again? ) It gets expensive. She's got shoeboxes stuffed full of pictures. Photopaper and ink is getting awfully expensive!<br /> And remember, Eeboater, you got to get the acid free scrapbooks, and they're a lot more expensive. I think she's got over 15 books now.<br /><br /> By the way eeboater, your pic looks familiar. Did you ever live in VA?

Re: scrapebooking

Just wait till she takes up beading.. Her tackle box is twice the size of mine..

 

[eeboater]

Re: scrapebooking

Yikes Kalian... sounds like your misses has been in it for a lot longer than mine. As far as the acid free scrapbooks are concerned...... Never considered that. She might be buying them and I just don't know it... When we go to Joanne Fabrics, I usually flip through the posters while she goes through the 4.6 billion embellishments.<br /><br />I don't believe I have ever lived in VA... I was born in Philly... but thats about as close as I have come to VA. Well, other than a vacation or two. Unless you are talking about my avatar... then, well, I have no clue where my girlfriend has lived. We're not at "that level" in the relationship yet.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Sean
