Scrapbooking story

[Klarson]

Wife says to husband...

"Look - I got invited to a 'workshop' and I won't have to buy a
basket, or jewelry, or candles, or even another plastic container!

This party is different because I'm going to MAKE a page for a
scrapbook!

I'm going to learn how to put all those pictures we keep in a box
into a photo album that will last lifetimes!"

***********************************************

FOR YEARS AFTERWARDS what can be heard in the home:

-"How much can a pair of scissors cost? And why do you need an
entire cutting system if you bought scissors?"

-"The photo album was HOW MUCH? You HAD to get a paper trimmer too?
Then please tell me ..what are the scissors for?"

-"How many magazines do you need to buy to be INSPIRED? And what's
with all this paper?"

-"You want what for your birthday? A xyron? What the heck is a
xyron?"

-"I don't understand why you need a digital camera. The 35mm I
bought after college works just fine."

-"OUCH!!!! I just stepped on one of your %&*(*&% eyelets! "

-"MORE paper? You haven't even used up what you got already!"

-"First the camera, then the printer, what's next a scanner?"

-"I see..so if we get these target cubes you'll be able to see the
paper you have and then you won't have to buy anymore?"

-"Son, how many times have I told you - You CANNOT play with
MOMMY's tools!"

-"I don't get it ..why do we have to go to Lowes to get paint chips
if we aren't doing any painting around here?"

-"Don't worry sweetie..we won't tell Mommy you borrowed her
stickers to make Barbie look pretty."

-"You had a 40% off coupon and you still spent over $100??"

-"What do you need all this yarn for? You don't even knit! Do you?"

-"No dear. I do not know how to scan and stitch. Maybe someone on
YOUR message board can help you there."

-"Who took Daddy's sandpaper?"

-"It's 11PM. Isn't that layout done YET?"

-"Shhh..don't tell Daddy that Mommy borrowed his sandpaper."

-"Yes, I guess we can stop at that cute little scrapbook store
during our vacation."

-"You're going to take a crap? I meant going to a crop...
nevermind."


-"NO MOMMY! NO MORE PICTURES! NO MORE PICTURES! NO MORE PICTURES!"

-"So who is this Becky Higgins and what's the big deal about her?
she an actress or something?"

-"I thought you already had a sewing machine. So what's this one
for?"

-"No..I've never printed on vellum before..YES..I can help you
figure out the right printer settings..but what the heck is vellum?"

-"Queen of the week doesn't mean you won't still make dinner,
right? Right? Whew."

-"You just joined a what? A swap? I'm really happy for you honey."

And the hardest one of all...

-"Where did all these boxes of pictures come from...I thought you
were going to put them all in a scrapbook! "

LOL !!!! And who said that a dining room table was for eating anyway? :cool:

[star2shine]

Sounds like my husband!

[scrappiemommie]

LOL thanks for the chuckle

My DH started out sounding like that, but he has changed his evil ways. In fact just last week he helped me make 75 graduation announcements for my niece

Oh Good!! Im not the only one who doesnt eat on her dining room table!! Cant even see the top of it!

This is one of those times I am happy that my DH is completely oblivious to what I do. He rarely asks me these quesitons. He doesn't know and doesn't care what I spend on stamps....

[katika]

Too funny!!!!! I love it...

[AZShann]

Isn't that about the truth?

Dh is pretty good. I try very hard to work in my scrap/stamp room when he's at work and if he's not at work, only try to go in there if he's sleeping or we have to have a card for something. That way, he doesn't feel neglected.

I have two spare rooms and was going to make one my craft room. Then, I tried to take over the den. Then I tried to take over the formal dining room table because it is big and seats 8. Dh didn't really appreciate all my "junk" as he calls it out in the open like it was in the view from the front door. Then, I got a table from my mom's old business and now, I use the spare room I was going to use in the first place. And...NO complaints from hubby. Now, he can shut the door if he doesn't want to see it. Or, just not look.

Too funny & sooooooooo true! My DH just doesn't understand the appeal to scrappin & stampin & I don't understand his to golf & shooting clay pigeons.

Too funny - and so true! Thanks for the laugh!

[k_tweet99]

How funny!! I hear a lot of those too. Sad thing is I have lots of high school girls over scrapbooking all the time, so multiply one person's stuff times 4 or 5 and that is what my house looks like!!
