Ode to a Bind It All

Oh Bind It All (to the tune of O Christmas Tree)

O Bind It All, O Bind It All,
Your coils they intice me.

O Bind It All, O Bind It All,
You let me create so freely.

If I could only get my hands,
wrapped around your brand new box.

O Bind It All, O Bind It All,
You hold my pages oh so tightly.

I mean, who wouldn't want one anyway?? They are small, lightweight, and they punch through chipboard like butter! I am doing the "good vibes" dance so Ms. Rose from Matte Magic will come through for us and order us some Bind It Alls. If not, I am following Whippet's (from CKMB) advice and ordering from Ms. Bonnie.

(Unfortunately, no Bind It Alls were fondled in the making of this post)

Its So Nice Lets Do It Twice!

Well, now that we are on the threshold of Spring, NSD (National Scrapbook Day) is just around the corner... the holiest of days for scrapbookers. But this year we had a delimma.... continue on with the traditional crop at the T'ashma James or attend the new and sure to be super fabulous Sweet Retreat put on by our favorite girls at Scrapbook Invitations & More. Talk about a problem...

So, NSD is so nice, why not do it twice??? We will proclaim 2 NSDs this year... of course we will celebrate the NSD in early May by attending the Sweet Retreat (don't say you weren't warned), but now we will also have our very own Faux NSD in late May to celebrate the arrival of our fantastico new Archivers in Marietta. Then it is back to the T'ashma James to crop and nibble on delicious NSD treats (usually consisting of chocolate).

Now that is a plan!

Archivers

Got the winter doldrums?? Nothing cures that more than an offical MAGS get-together! Since is was Rosemary's birthday too, it was a perfect reason to celebrate! We headed out for a weekend full of fun, shopping, cropping, and eating. The Mall of Georgia was our goal... Archivers it is... swimming pools and movie stars... oh wait... wrong story line.

We tricked Rosemary into going to Starbucks so we could set up her mini birthday celebration... complete with gifts and lots of fun birthday props.




Then it was on to shop at our favorites.... Archivers and Ulta. What could be better, they were next door to each other. We cropped the night away at Archivers (after we ran out of money shopping, what else could we do?). We had a great time and the only thing that was harmed was a MM (not Michelle Mullenix or Matte Magic) paper piercer. I still don't know how that thing got bent....



Anyway.... I digress..... We spent too much, we ate too much (some of us drank too much coffee), and we cropped just enough.

Oh, I forgot the best part.... we found out that we are getting a brand spankin' new Archivers of our very own in Marietta!!! Yahoo! That was the talk of the weekend for sure!
I just love my MAGS!!
