Oh, Scrap!


Isn't that a great name for a scrapbook blog? Oh, Scrap! I love it. Wish I'd thought of it but it wasn't meant to be. Instead, it was meant for me to languish here in the dry, dusty desert, while the author/owner/photographer of Oh, Scrap! does her scrappin' and bloggin' from beautiful Hawaii. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking I'm jealous. I don't know why anyone would think that. We both have sun, sand, blue skies, palm trees, tropical breezes...what? Oh, okay, I don't have tropical breezes, I have sand storms. And I don't have ocean....I have desert sand. Now why would those two little things matter to anyone? If you took Joscie's ocean and tropical breezes away, she'd be living in the desert too, so you see, it's really not that different...(so there).


On the other hand, what she has.....(here comes the jealous part) is TALENT! Ohhhh, does she have talent. Her photography is fabulous, she can make a pile of shoes look good (and she did!), her pictures and her layouts are so brilliant and alive with color that I'm often transfixed. And then there's the music. Wait until you hear the music! This blog has the best music. It's upbeat and happy and fits right in with the color and beauty of Joscie's pictures. It kinda makes you want to kick off your shoes and stay a while....you know what I mean? If not, get over there and find out for yourself. It's a great place to be.

Erica's Scrapbook Obsession

Her screen name at CK is "Journeyfan". Geez, how could I possibly miss that? Journey was my favorite band (if not for The Eagles). I dated a musician in the late 70's whose band did Journey tunes so well, it was almost as good as the real thing. Honest. I'll never forget them...or him either....but I digress.

Okay, moving on here....I'm adding links to my favorite blogs and writing a few words about them as I do. Most of them have great pictures of scrapbook layouts, projects and fun things to do....Erika's site is just a bit different....what she has is great words. Judging by the thousands of hits her site has, it's not much of a secret. AND she has a blogroll of HER favorite blogs, plus everyone elses at the CK and other Message Boards. Including mine! What a smart girl!

So why do I like Erika's blog? Because she's honest. She tells it like it is and doesn't apologize. She has a sense of humor. She's sometimes sarcastic (I can certainly identify with that!), but she's always informative. She has all the news in the scrapbook world, info on the latest and greatest products, what's going on where, and if it were applicable, she'd know who was dating whom!

Check her out. She's a good read!
