(A page from my scrapbook. New Asia Bar-Vicky's birthday)
When I'm not knitting, I'm working on my scrapbook. To date, I think I've spent a considerable amount of money purchasing paper and other material just to feed my hobby.
Oh, before that, I must thank Ranga for the rolls of scrap paper he so generously gave me one day. I haven't had time to use it all - I haven't even had time to use the stuff that I bought...and I keep buying! Gosh!
The other day during lunch break, I was roaming Cold Storage for my usual Sunkist O.J. when I saw stickers! Puffy alphabet stickers -SGD2.95. I told my colleague I was going to get them and she goes "STICKERS? Why? For your cousin?" I proudly replied "No, for myself =)"
I also receive Scrapbooks etc. magazines (only RM9.90 each - subscription thanks to Praveen) which is a great thing to have if you are interested in Scrapbooking. The website is great as well, watch the videos and get layout ideas for every occasion. It is quite challenging to figure out a suitable layout - it's not as simple as buying an empty album, putting in your 3R photos and pasting stickers. You could, however, do this very easily with lovely albums from Prints.
Should anyone want to produce a scrapbook as a gift, but is not interested in the whole 'putting it together' concept, do contact me and I'll be oh-so happy to make you a scrapbook (or perhaps, knit you a scarf) - just pass me your photos! And ask me now, before I get a job that will suck the life out of me..........................................

I think you should get into this fulltime. Run a business. Make lots of money from middle-aged women, and take me on lavish holidays in countries where we can use the scarf.
LOL @ Praveen!!
(Holy crap, did I just type that?!)
OMG!! OMG!!!11
Hi Mel, wow... this is cool. I hope you do what Praveen says, he's got his whole life worked here - lavish holidays wearing scarf! (Actually I do know a friend's friend in the US who does this for a living - she also conducts charged classes. How cool is that)
@ Praveen : middle-aged women? Ahem, you are generalising too much on Scrapbooking.
PS Mel : If ur "future clients" want stuff digitally done, please refer them to me. (You get a commission ;))
@praveen: Okay, I will.
@tsulin: I really don't mind doing it for a living and yes, I have always admired your digital layouts of SW that you upload on your blog.
