Words of Wisdom

  • The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. - Henry Ward Beecher
  • Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather a skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, throughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! What a ride!" - Hunter S. Thompson
  • Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. - Mark Twain
  • The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said. - Peter F. Drucker
  • Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. - Albert Einstein
  • Be silly. Be honest. Be kind. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

American Crafts Rocks

IMG_1723
A few months ago, when I signed up for the Stacy Julian taught course: "A Library of Memories", over at Big Picture Scrapbooking, I received a box of stuff. In that stuff were two pens. Both black, American Crafts, .03 and .08 Precision Pens. They are FANTASTIC!

You know when you find a perfect writing instrument: pen, pencil, marker, that makes you write well (legibly) and want to hand-write more? THIS is the pen for me. I have been using them on my "Have More Fun" layouts - yes, I'm still in the middle of that project! - and they are so lovely to use on the Bazzill Cardstock.

I have become such a huge fan of American Crafts. I daresay, if I had to use only one brand, this would be the one I'd choose, though I'd miss Bazzill and the others, I'd probably be able to make do!

On Friday an order of pens (and albums) arrived. I'm branching out - going into coloured pens, too. I'm so adventuresome ;)

Do you have a favourite brand or product? If so, let me know, I'm easily enabled to good quality stuff!

Where I Buy Fun Supplies

  • A Cherry On Top
    I can't "toot" loud enough to let you know how fantastic this online resource is: tons of product, great prices, FAST shipping - a week quicker than any other US online retailer. Love them, love them, love them. If you have to pay duty and taxes I'd rather pay it quick than have to wait for the privilege!
  • Forever Scrapbooks
    Located a few kms away in Burlington. Great when I need something quick, I can usually find it here.
  • Pages In Time (Michigan)
    A bit of a hike, but well worth the trip if you happen to be in Michigan.
  • Pick of the Patch (Port Coquitlam, BC)
    Fantastic monthly kit, look forward to opening it each month. It always includes something I can't find locally.
  • Scrapbooks By Design (Toronto)
    Fabulous place, but the website does take f.o.r.e.v.e.r. to load.
  • The Crafty Scrapper (Texas)
    Oh my, a feast for the eyes, your fingers get itchy just walking in the front door, so much stuff to behold. Located in Waxahatchie, Texas it's a bit far, good thing they have a website and decent shipping!
