Have you changed the way......

[Britkatscrap]

you shop since you started scrapbooking ...or am the only one that looks at things and totally consumed by thoughts of how I can incorporate it in my scrapbooking? EVEN in the Christmas wrap and tag aisle, grocery shopping taking note of what kind of container things come in, buying things JUST because of what they come in! I could go on .... I think I have a problem!!!

LOL! No, don't think you're the only scrapbook shopper fruit 'n' nut case out there - I do exactly the same!! I also scour high streets in new towns I go to, just in case they may have a little shop that has a stationary dept. or little bit of craft stuff in it!

OMG - that is so funny - I LOVE our office supply stores - I could spend hours in there looking at the stationary, binders, paper supplies, pens, etc. OH and of course their limited dedicated scrapbook supply stuff! When I was a kid I loved WH Smiths for the same reasons!

I was thinking about buying a christmas cake in Tescos on Friday because it came in such a lovely tin--and I make my own cake it is nicley maturing on top of the fridge

I am so bad about always being on the lookout for scrapping bits that when my friends see me in the high street they ask me what craft bits I have bought!!!
I seem to find great things everywhere! Saying that, I nearly bought DD a pink cardigan because it had lovely pink 'hanger ribbons' - DH stopped me!

Didi...i have seen those tins and am very tempted too! My MIL makes the xmas cake....so in two minds at the moment.
But yes....i do the same! Always on the look out!
I even covered a hairdye box to hold an xmas present!

I am sooooo bad! Everywhere I go, I go down the Christmas gift aisle to check out possible scrappy stuff, WH Smith takes forever to go round, and I don't even throw clothes away without cutting off buttons & zips. The more you do this, the worse it gets - I'm beyond help now!

Comfort yourself with the knowledge that you are doing your bit for the environment and recycling - makes it soooo much easier to do!

not only do I do it I have other people doing it on my behalf! my family and friends often pop round with bits they have found that they think I could use in my scrapping,my Dad especially finds it great fun hunting things down.
