Words of Wisdom

  • The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. - Henry Ward Beecher

  • 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

Seeking the BEST Scrapbook Kit ... for me

IMG_4995
Kit from Two Spotted Dogs

I am, absolutely, a scrapbook supply junkie. LOVE all the papers and embellishments. That, combined with the thrill of receiving mail, has me looking for a monthly scrapbook kit to order. This has been quite the exploration: I've been on this search for over a year. I think I've finally found the two perfect for me.

They have new product, great ideas, fabulous support and the prices are very good.

My favourite (this month) is Just Cre8, a Canadian scrapbook community - Sue has fantastic product and I'm thrilled to have an opportunity to support a local business. The other is from the States, Two Spotted Dogs (pictured above) where Diane is so easy to deal with and doesn't "pad" the shipping. 

Though I do spend a lot on my scrapbook materials, I do so with a sense of value. Rarely do I buy something just to have it - or worse, collect it! Both of these resources have current product, great prices and offer value.

The best part? I want to use up the first kit before the second arrives so I'm ... gasp ... getting pages DONE! And, what can be better than that?

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!
