out of my league....

I went to a scrapbooking SHOW today

and I've decided that is one place where I just really don't fit.

~~~~~~~~~
Granted, I love some of the scrapbooking supplies,

I mean otherwise, why would I go, right ?

But I'm not a scrapbooker.

Nope.

Not one bit.

I once dabbled in it, but it didn't really fit me.

~~~~~~~~~

Instead, I do mixed media art,

but no "real" scrapbooking....

{and the reason I know this

is because I don't use the word "lay-out!"}

~~~~~~~~~

Anyway, at these shows, I stick out like a sore thumb.

Scrapbookers have a certain look that I don't have.

They wear T-shirts with scrapbooking logos.

They carry scrapbooking bags to use while shopping.

They speak a scrapbooking language I don't understand.

~~~~~~~~~

And they LOVE scrapbooking supplies.

Boy, do they LOVE their stuff !

Enough so as to push me out of their way in order to get "a fix."

And not once did I hear, "excuse me," which is a HUGE pet peeve of mine !

I bet they don't act this way at home.

Don't get me wrong....I did buy some great stuff.

~~~~~~~~~

But before I go again, I'll have to think seriously about it..... deciding if it's worth taking my life in my hands just for a fabulously designed 12x12 paper, where the woman behind me acts like it's the last one that's ever been produced.

Or maybe I'll jump in and join them, while proudly wearing a

"queen of the crop" T-shirt....or not.

~~~~~~~~~

{now hold up....if you are a scrapbooker reading this, I'm only dissing the act of shopping in a scrapbookers environment...not you personally. I don't want any "hate" mail with, "you said blah blah blah...... And other than the fact that I always say, "excuse me," everything I wrote above perfectly describes me when I'm at a flea market.....except there, I wear my T-shirt that says....

~~~~~~~~~

GET OUT OF MY WAY PEOPLE

THAT'S MINE

I SAW IT FIRST

{just kidding....well, sort of}
