scrapbooking ! i want




Ever since I was a lil' girl, I would collect stickers, lots of them. I would stick them piece by piece on my sticker book and bring them to school to show off. My mom helped me to decorate my sticker book, making it amazingly cool until my classmates would droll on it. I like to collect scraps, nifty trinkets, anything that catches my eye, store them in boxes or in my drawer, all in hope that one day I would build something amazingly fantastic with them.

As I grow older, I realize this hobby isn't that new but the market has expanded it's horizon and started earning big bucks on scrapbooking, keepsakes, embelishments and what not. Craft isn't cheap now and having a hobby is for the rich (or not with Digitalize Craft!).

I still passyby the craft shop every so few days, admiring whatever nifty gadgets and thingamagits they have for sale knowing I cannot afford them. I guess there is no harm in admiring from afar and counting my pennies till I can someday afford to buy a kit to start my own.

  1. Jamie thinks you could become broke and insane with all the supplies they offer for scrap booking! There are press to create your own shadow box pages for the scrap book, so you can make your own or buy them semi made you just finish them! so the question would be If you took up this hobbies would we ever hear from you again in this life!? The more I read the busier you seem to be or should I say the more stuff you seem to be completing!

  4. Jamie is a "jack of all trades lord of none"
    I am comfortable sewing and doing art the same as I am welding and repairing any mechanical item! I was in collage for fine arts photo major but ran out of cash I did graduated as a Electronic Technician, and have always taught myself anything I needed to know, and I know too many people who do scrap booking!
