these are a few of my favorite things

i freely admit that i am a hoarder by nature. i think i was born this way. (to bolster my argument i present exhibit a: lavender. though surrounded with love, food, toys, and family, will carry a shirt, a book, a sock, a doll, and a swiffer duster with her for over an hour. just hugging them to her and carrying them around with her. for no apparent purpose. but she does. i can't imagine any issue of insecurity that she is demonstrating. just a love for things. i swear.)

so loving to collect things, scrapbooking is a wonderful arena for me. i mean, i can go to the store and find things for as little as 29 cents. and for 79 cents i can buy a piece of paper in a color and pattern that makes me happy! so over the years, i have purchased many things that make me happy. these are just a few of my favorites...

kaiser makes the most yummy papers and little jewels. and i love all their wooden books, but this one

is my favorite. Just imagine the possibilities for my sweet princesses!

And speaking of princesses, imaginisce has a new little princess line called "fairest of them all." check out this paper...

and they make little dress up princesses that make my heart sing.

I would be lost without american crafts. i use their pens, their ribbon, their  paper, and their embellishments. And i have a big girl crush on their thickers. This new one is one of my favorites:

 

Oh, goodness, pretty soon you are going to think i am wholly consumed by goods, and well, you are probably right, so let's continue this fun!

How about scenic route? I love so many of their papers and i think they have an awesome philosphy. This paper

might have been voted most overused by a single scrapper! Love it--especially for journaling bits.

How about my beloved My Minds Eye? Not only do i love their paper for scrapbooking, but it lends itself so wonderfully to home decor projects.

And the industry would not be the same without making memories. They have the greatest embellishments that add just the right touches.

Yesterday, i found some pink paislee that i had been wanting since i saw it in july.  this paper is as awesome in real life as it is online.

a few other good standbys:

and for digital things, i have fallen in love with paislee press. you can look forward to a minialbum i made using the ecologie line:

 

So those are a few of my favorite scrapbooking things. Man, I love this hobby/lifestyle/industry!

happy thursday nite tv!

I too am guilty of overusing the Scenic Route paper. : ) I want to make something with that Paislee Press paper--I've never seen it before!

You hit the nail on the head about the AC products -- love all their stuff (especially those Thickers) - Can't have enough of them. And Scenic Route is also at the top of my favorite products list.
