why scrapping beats black friday shopping

  • no crowds
  • more sleep
  • no waiting in line
  • no disappointment
  • more fun
  • less craziness (maybe)
  • playing with pretty papers

of course, those only hold for going out to the stores. which i did once years ago. once.

whether it’s at a crop, a friend’s house, or even at home, scrapping has been my tradition for the last many years on black friday. this year i am keeping the tradition going in my happy place here at home.

i did do a little online shopping this morning – if you have a silhouette check out their web site. all shapes are 50% off. can’t beat that!

today i am working on some little pretties for some of my favorite girlies. i’ll share later when the coast is clear. *wink*

here’s the pages i did at Get Inspired 2010 a couple weekends ago. it’s a super crop – the next one is next spring in des moines.

this one is my girl at a marching band contest, and she has a little smirk on her face because her uncle Tom was taking the photo. i thought i was done so i showed it to Becky and Linda. Becky thought i needed to have a little feather in the penguin’s hat too. so i used part of a q-tip. isn’t she the cutest?! here’s a close up:

i already scrapped this photo once but my Mom needed it for her photo album, so i ordered another one and scrapped it again.
