The Scrapping Code

These Scrapping Codes were originally inspired from a list found on www.unscrappable.com. For a rant on that particular website, please see my other scrapblog (Scrap Rants). I have taken out the self-affirming unscrappable things about using scrapping to by their time until they find a husband or children, and added in many of my own.

Scrapper's Code

(Print out and paste on Scrapping table, Bedroom Mirror and Car Rear View Mirror)

I WILL NOT:

• Eat more than one supersize family slab of cadburies chocolate in a week?s worth of scrapping.
• Surf scrapping sites at work (okay, the intention is there, but I broke it already as I have to get a daily fix)
• Spend more on scrap supplies than earn in a week
• Allow photos and supplies to rage out of control
• Join in scrapping events, make promises of scrapping, enter challenges or competitions without first completing family or work or study commitments.
• Look at my family as a nuisance towards not getting more interesting scrapping done
• Organise my cardstock in a new way every six months, just to make myself feel I have achieved something.
• Spend five hours looking for the perfect quote for a layout, and then not have time to create the layout
• Spend more time online on scrapping forums than actually doing scrapping, looking for some ill-conceived sense of belonging, then get peeved off with people (sometimes!) and feel I don?t belong and have lost faith in humankind, then give it all another go in an effort to feel I belong somewhere; thus not achieving any inner piece nor creativity
• Forget why I scrap and who for
• Forget to create (same as above item)

Boy, can I relate to this one!

Jade - I wrote this many many moons ago - and how ironic that I've put myself through it again lately. What goes around, comes around. Thanks for finding it for me.
