I should know!

Funny, this was the QOTD at 2 peas:

When you first started to scrapbook did you ever think it would be such a huge deal in today's world?

Do you know that I actually have, in my possession, EVERY SINGLE ISSUE, no lie, of Creating Keepsakes. I used to think, I should totally submit my work. Just think, I could have been "one of the big girls." My work was WAY better than the stuff they published way back when dinos roamed the earth. Now, people never cease to amaze me with their design skills. NEVER! It's just amazing! So yeah, I probably did know it would be a big deal. I took about a 10 year sabattical from scrapping because I was just lazy, and bored with it. I mean really, Creative Memories is just barely starting to branch out into the fun stuff. I gave up on them YEARS ago! Personally, I can't stand the products they make anymore. I think they are overpriced and boring. But, you've got to hand it to that company. It was truly what bred the addication so many of us have. I'd classify it as the founder of all scrappage. I just wish they'd quit being so stubborn and branch out a bit. So, since you all now know I'm the pack rat of the universe, in honor of an office organizer coming to my house on Thursday and Friday, (seriously, someone actually does this for a living and makes my life wonderful!), I'm going to purge some of my old CK mags. Leave a message on the blog, check back tommorrow to see if I drew your name and I'll send you some antique issues along with some goodies that I clean out of my scrap room.
