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

Challenge: Use Your Stash

Cs

(Photo borrowed from Cyn's blog)


My friend Cyn has set up a new blog to introduce her Use Your Stash Challenge 2009.

You will find it here: clicky

I don't know about you, but I have plenty of stuff that I can use up before I place another order or go on another shopping spree. Just like many of you, I love the shiny new stuff; but, one of my intentions for 2009 is to show some restraint! This challenge, I hope, has me use up some of the oodles of stuff I already have just waiting to grace a scrapbook page or become an altered project.

I hope you'll join me. Just leave a comment to let Cyn know you're in. I'm so looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with this year! Old product isn't bad product, it just needs a little love, attention and a new lease on life :) Here's to looking at old stuff with a new perspective.

Thanks, Cyn.

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!
