I was unemployed for a month or so after traveling in SE Asia and decided that a really good use of my time(!) would involve scrapbooking my photos from the trip. I’m not even crafty, and I went out and bought all the goods — crazy scissors, weird stickers, etc.

I knew it was time to get help when my brother came over late one night with his girlfriend, looked at me sitting on the floor, nearly spit his drink out laughing and said, “oh my god, you need a f-ing job”

Pauly, you’ve probably thought this already, but this idea would actually make a fabulous reality show. The visual I have in my head right now of you coming into a persons house and throwing around their scrapbooks while you criticize their shoddy work is pretty funny, to say the least. Maybe someday, huh?

How about the tagline: “If your boxed up mementos stack higher than a tree, you need the services of extreme scrapbooker PaulyD”

There are no scrapbooks in my past and very likely none in my future (I can’t afford $250/hr for you). BUT as usual, I learned a lot about scrapbooking - either you researched thoroughly or are a first hand observer of this obsession.

I see that you’re adhesion method is glue stick-based vs. rubber cement-based. Fascinating. You are one EFD (extremely funny dude).

I’ll give my mom your URL. You will fast learn to regret having typed this post.

damn you - I have to change my pants now.

now that I’ve stopped drawing stares while swallowing outbursts of laughter at my computer screen, I have several in-law family members desperately in need of your immediate help…um, but you can charge them, not me, okay?

James - There’s no such thing as a starter-set or a “starter” in the scrapbooking world. If you never have, my honest advice is to never start scrapbooking unless you want to ruin the lives of your family and friends.

Monkey - Thank Trump for me.

Dave - Well, I didn’t want to ruin the surprise, but I am currently in the works on opening a ESC (extreme scrapbooking company) and will announce the name and location (Chicago) as soon as we’re ready to open our doors.

Jenny - No one can help you it seems…you go from one OCD to another without pause.

“My name is Jenny, and I used to be a crazy scrapbooker…” Then I discovered blogging, and turned my obsessive-compulsive nature over to that medium.

Thanks for stopping by yesterday and saying hi!

I’ve never had a desire to scrapbook anything.

Until now.

You totally should open up a business, because I have dozens of boxes of crap collected from my travels that are just dying for the EXTREME SCRAPBOOKING treatment!
