3 years ago I was an avid crossticher, knitter, quilter, painter, and any other craft you could think of.  Until one day my right arm was seriously injured at work.  Limiting me to the number of crafts I could do.  What a nightmare.  My mother in-law was just beginning to learn how to scrapbook and had begun showing me some of her finished pages.  I thought everything she’s doing is just so beautiful, but I don’t have that kind of money right now. 

However, having a history with crafts gave me a slight advantage.  I didn’t have to buy some of the stickers.  I could figure out how to make them myself.  Being thrifty also helped me discover other ways to collect craft related products. That is the point of this blogging site.  I want to help others who love to scrapbook learn how to make some of there own products at home, therefore, saving a few dollars for a product that simply can not be recreated at home.
