Scrapbooking Purses, Handbags, Totes and Wallets

With the change in the season, and the fall months upon us, I decided I would love to change purses to something that shows off who I am. I am a mom and a scrapbooker, first and foremost.

So what do you do with all those leftover photographs that are taking up space and are not seeing the light of day? I don’t scrap every picture I take. I try to scrap as many as I can, but I don’t do every one. Those that say they do, must either … Continue reading →

The Scrapbook Store Garage Sale Controversy
