Can You Direct Me To The Scrapbooking Section?

When we were on vacation in Jackson Hole I went into the "Gifts of the Earth" store because I knew they had Wyoming specific sprapbooking supplies. I wandered around the realitively small store for 20 minutes getting frustrated before asking the saleswoman, "Where are the scrapbooking supplies", she pointed in the direction right near the registers. It was then I looked up and saw a sign with an arrow, then I noticed another sign with another arrow, then two more signs. Great signage and oblivious customers. 

More Scrapbooking....

Yep, for those of you who didn't think I would like scrapbooking (including myself) you are wrong! I had a great time doing it today and I am looking forward to doing it again.

I will admit though, it is very easy because mom has done 98% of the hard stuff for me. I am intimidated about doing the backgrounds etc. Currently, I just have to fill in the pictures.

Scrapbooking and Mini Vans

I will do a blog about that another night but suffice to say I enjoyed it. When my Facebook status said I was going scrap booking I was teased by Jenn, Sara and Courtney. With Sara's Facebook status changed to "Sara is constantly in awe of KT's transformation" and Courtney's comment "I never would have guessed the lady who doesn't carry a purse would go scrapbooking? hmmm?"

A few hours later I had the following conversation with Rachel:

Kim: There is such a problem with trunk space and strollers
Rachel: When I get a new car it will probably be a Honda Pilot
Kim: Well, you better watch out that has horrible trunk space and won't fit a stroller. I hate that about my car.
Rachel: Yeah, Tahoe's don't have room either.
Kim: I hate to say this, I can't believe I am saying it but I may have to get a mini-van.
Rachel: Oh no, you can't! Get a Suburban.
Kim: I hate big cars though but I am not the mini-van type
Rachel: I will NEVER get a mini-van
Kim: I will remind you of this. At 7:16 PM on 2/21/09 Rachel said she will NEVER get a mini-van
Rachel: (Laughs) Well, unless I am traveling and I have to rent one. That is the only way.
Kim: (Laughs)
Rachel: I just want to say for the record that I don't think there is anything wrong with driving a mini-van.
Kim: I will note that when I blog this
Rachel: Mom, will think I am a snob when she sees that
Kim: I will note that too

The Transformation Continues....

First there was scrapbooking, then there was card club and now my latest purchase:

An autographed copy of Martha Stewart's latest book; the "Encyclopedia of Crafts"
