Not going to lie, I'm a bit of a hoarder. I save things like the parking pass from a day at the lake with my boyfriend and gum wrappers with secret messages in them. However, I am not (usually) a messy person, so the scraps end up stuffed away in a box until I find the time to think of how to use them. Thanks to an awesome sale at Michael's, I have finally begun to give these little keep sakes a purpose. Scrapbooking... I'm an addict. There is something so satisfying about gluing bits of paper to another piece of paper. I love the cracking sound of the pages when you open the book. I love it when the pages are so weighed down with random knick knacks that it can barely close. I enjoy using different textures like fabric, beads, paper, smushed flowers, anything really. The other day I made a discovery. I am always a bit behind on the whole "trendy" scene so I hadn't yet found my way to the magical world of washy tape.. so many colors... so many designs... I really can't get enough of that stuff. Aside from my regular scrapbook I also got a planner which I have been using in a similar way. I've been gluing bits of my day to the calendar and using tape to make the pages bright. The truth is, I am not only doing these things because I am a crafty person. I figure that if I have an ongoing scrapbook project, I'll feel more inspired to do exciting things and take pictures. If I'm sitting there thinking, "should I go to this concert or should I just stay here in my P.Js and watch Gossip Girl" I am much more likely to choose going to a concert. I mean, as fabulous as pictures of me... by myself... in my skiing frog P.Js would be, photos of a concert would be much more interesting. Also, my new "lama wearing a fringe necklace planner" deserves much more than "put P.Js on and watch Gossip Girl".
