My fun box from Christine (christine00) arrived yesterday. Would've posted this then, but I was all tangled up in a bunch o' stuff we had to do, and at the end of the day I scarcely had presence of mind enough to do anything or anyone justice in any form. This evening, however, is different! :) From Christine, then: -Gevalia Kaffe "Amaretto" coffee - Yum sounding! Haven't tried it yet, but will very soon! Special stuff, from Sweden! And a nice big vaccuum bag of it, too! -"Black Raspberry & Vanilla" hand soap (pump type) - Great scent! Instantly put into use! -Small, blue metal bucket planter - Cute! Now I just have to figure out what to plant in it,...or maybe I'll use it for something else... :) -Red Canna rhizome - Kewlest!! A big ol' honkin' chunk!! Think I'll put it in a large planter, just in case our resident commando gophers have received new training and equipment. -Foil wrapped chocolate candies - Instantly snagged by Elly for her and our son! LOL! -Small ziplock seed bags - Always, always ALWAYS a welcome practical addition! :) -Floral scented candle in glass container - Alas, the glass component did not survive transport. No biggie, though, the candle itself is the most important part and remains quite salvageable! Thanks uber muchly, Christine! - Hmmm,...perhaps tomorrow morning for the coffee, as it's suddenly turned cold and rainy again. ;) Darrin

Alrighty! :O) Vina, if you think you know without a doubt who it is, wait until at least a few other ladies have guessed first, OK? That will give everyone a fair chance of guessing & winning! :o) LET THE GUESSING BEGIN!color>size> Only one guess at a time, please! The correct guesser of the secret agent will receive a prize (a surprise prize, of course!). Have fun!

My wal-mart was moving into a new supercenter and had lots of things on clearance so...I got mine for 50 cents, and the paper you mentioned also for 50 cents.

When I look back at my very 1st scrapbook, I get disgusted at how much I thought I had to cut the pictures. Now, I only cut off the part of the photo that no one would ever be interested in...such as a recliner that takes up the whole left side of a photo, or excess grass at the bottom of a pic. I get tons of compliments on my albums now, and people tell me I should quit nursing and just scrapbook professionally. Good luck w/your album, and congratulations. There's a ton of stuff to choose from out there, but be creative and imaginative. Don't buy stickers of flowers...create your own. Don't place stickers messily over your entire page..group them together to make a scene or corner decoration. This way, they won't take away from your pictures (which should be the focal point of your album). Hope this helps.
