Hi

I saw Copic pens on the blog of my LSS and was wondering if anyone has tried them?
I know they are blendable and not really for journaling, but since I'm creatively challenged just wondering how anyone has used them.

I have only found 1 pile of coins after hunting for hours-cherries are easy to come by but those coins definitely take some time.

 I just completed 2 layouts yesterday and I need to work on a friend's baby book gift so I will say 20.

Yay! This should help me finish what I need to do.

I'm taking my kids to the California Academy of Science today.
Oh well, I'll read the posts when I get home.

 I might get a lot of pages at the scrapbook retreat next weekend because i've been prpping for a month.
The last two retreats I went to I spent a lot of time sifting through pictures and paper, I vowed that this time I would actually be organized.

 No Way! I don't think I'll ever get caught up on my pictures.  I don't scrap in chronological order, I do whatever I'm in the mood for.
I also work on pages my MIL's and mom's scrapbooks that I gave them 2 years ago.

 Hi

I store my scraps of ribbon in plastic Making Memories jars.
My "to go" ribbon" is in the side pocket of my XXL Crop in Style tote in their original packaging.

Hope that helps.

 I usually like to do 2 page layouts 12 x 12 and I try to keep it to 4-5 pictures.  I also am the paparazzi around here but thank goodness I am documenting my sons' childhood.  When I  asked my 7  year old about a trip we took to a local theme park 2 years ago he didn't remember.  I have proof when ...

 How about a layout using 2 or more different rubber stamps?
I just received a ton of clear stamps for Christmas and I need to get inspired to use them.

I also liked the chocolate/love idea.

 I think every scrapbooker dreams of owning a scrapbook store.
If I were even an employee at a scrapbook store I think it would take the fun out of it for me.
For some, once it becomes a job it's no longer fun.

 Every january I go organizational crazy..esp with my scrapbook supplies. I organize my paper by theme..Christmas, baby/kid, other holidays, winter,heritage.  And within each theme it's by color. With embellishments they are by type. I keep all of my supplies in my totes since I usually scrap elsewh...

 We have mini-blinds that were already here when we bought the house..hate them.
I really want plantation shutters.

Not long at all!
I received a $75 Joann's gift card ..already spent $50 of it in 2 weeks.
Michael's $20 g/c sspent that in 1 week

 Today in California it's 65 degrees, but the last few weeks have been very cold...so I'd have to say chili is my favorite comfort food.
