Frequent Shopper Indeed

Good News: All my Frequent Shopper Reward cards for scrapbook stores are now in one place.

Bad News: Who knew I was such a frequent shopper at so many places? That can't be a good sign.

Yes, that's 8 cards from 6 different places. The mark-off squares for the card from Eclectica in Memphis and the 2 cards from Scrapbook Warehouse in Cookville are on the back.

Did I also mention that 2 of my other favorite stores track FSR internally so I don't have to lose their cards. :)

Did I mention that I have 3 other cards (partially used) from stores that are no longer in existance?

This is really looking bad, isn't it.

While I was doing this I also cleaned out my business card stash. I was surprised at how many stores I have visted or taught in that are no longer in business. From the business card collection, I have visited 42 scrapbook stores across 8 states. That's pretty cool, I think. It's one of my favorite vacation activities. (I guess that's obvious.)

In other news: I'm living with a 2.5 year old exhibitionist. Seriously. I had to make them both stay in this afternoon because not once but twice G removed all (and I do mean all) his clothing while outside and ran gleefully across the yard. The first time J was trying to convince him to put his clothes back on while laughing hysterically. The second time J didn't even try to convince him...he just came and got me. For joy!
