Hmmm...I've even got myself thinking on this one!
I think mine would have to be cotton balls! The LO was actually about when my DD was tiny and she went through a phase where she liked to hold a cotton ball in each hand during her bath to help her feel secure.

That's a big YES from me! I love challenges, and find I get a lot more scrapping done when I have deadlines to meet. (It also cuts down on the amount of time a LO takes me when I have set criteria to work to.)]]> Scrap Question of the Day!

I am currently participating in the card front swap here on SBT50 (we are looking for sign-ups for August - be sure check it out!) I also took part in the 50c swap here, which was great. These are the first swaps I have ever taken part in and can't wait to do some more!

I used to be a story type journaller, but must admit lately that I have slacked off and only put down the bare essentials. I think I really need to get back to journalling more on my LOs though, because in years to come, it's the stories that go with the pictures that will be most important to our family (not so much the pretty papers).]]> Scrap Question of the Day!

I have quite a few eyelets, but use them rarely. I sometimes use them so I can attach embellishments, but not really for much else.

Does anyone have any ideas for ways to use them???]]> Scrap Question of the Day!

Do you shop with a budget in mind? If so, is it difficult to keep to your budget?


As we are a single income family, I most definitely have to shop to a (very tight) budget! And YES, it is very difficult! I find the easiest way to keep to it, is to wait to buy items on sale or just stay away from the shops...

I have to admit I am a Kaiser addict. So I would definitely use more of that than anything.

When scrapping at night (or in poor light), what do you find is the best light set-up to use? (Fluro / halogen / lamp / overhead?) I do most of my scrapping at night and I use 2 lights. The overhead light in my room, as well as a desk lamp with a white light energy saving globe in it. (I am also curious to know what others find the best set-up - great question!)
