Holy Revelation Batman!

I blame Lisa S. - it's all her fault...had she not shown me that etsy site I would have never had the light bulb over the head moment I had today so - just fess it on up girlie... I - the self proclaimed "hater' of the mini album just decided I will never buy another scrapbook album again. Now don't get me wrong...it's not that I didn't like the mini's - I love them, just never saw a personal need for them. Gifts, sure....for me to use? Never. Until I was shown the etsy store of a person who recycles strange little items into notebooks. LIGHT BULB!! Why not make my own albums out of....well - whatever I want? I have plenty of chipboard....binding machines are decently priced now and easy enough to use. I collect tons of "stuff" everywhere I go to use in my scrapbooks and then toss what I don't use....not aneeemo'ore!!!

My first will be a mini album out of all my husbands Houston Rockets tickets...he's such a huge fan ya'll - it's crazy. But the tix are a nice size....3 x 6 maybe? The backs are blah blah blah disclaimer so why not scrap over that mess I ask?? Why not? I can't wait to get started!!!!

I also just found some awesome pics of my grandfather who recently passed. Pics of he and I when I was little.... Now I just need something with a dump truck on it to use.....see, he drove a dump truck and he used to let me sit in it (it was too loud to ride in and apparently I was afraid of it...) I'm 34 now and after all these years he'd still ask....how much you love me but see it was more of a luh me...he had a tire explode on him which made his speech a little slurred after all the healing. My response was always...a whole dump truck full. That's probably my favorite memory...that and he called me doll. Hi doll! but it was more of a dahl....a sweeter man I'll never know. And I'm not just saying that cuz he was my grand-dad. ;)
