We are coming down to the wire, folks . . . have you made a bag - or contacted me about a bag - but haven't sent it on, yet? Now is the time . . . we are getting ever closer to June and it'll soon be time for these kiddos to go to camp. We want to...
Wednesday Challenge - Buttons!!
20 hours ago by Ann LuMaye @ scrapropos.com
Embellishing your scrapbook pages is like putting frosting and sprinkles on the cake. Embellishments add that extra sparkle, maybe a little dimension, and a whole lot of interest to your layouts. But adding those extra bits to your scrapbook page...
Irish Moss and the Benefits it Brings to the Skin
Yesterday by Shelly @ waxandbubbles.com
As known as, Chondrus crispus and carrageen moss, Irish moss is more than just a normal moss or even a moss at all. It is actually a red algae, a form of seaweed containing polysaccharides, vitamins, minerals, and iodine that grows along the...

Yesterday by Shelly @ waxandbubbles.com
Calendula is known as the "poet's marigold" and is among the most colorful herb flowers in anyone's garden who plants them. It can be used in the kitchen, as well as the bathroom in many products from homemade to store bought. It has the ability...
TAtTF: Indiana Jones and the Vintage Toys
Yesterday by Paul @ toybender.com
Indiana Jones has never gotten the toy success like other movie hits like Star Wars. While Hasbro is making up for lost ground with its Indiana Jones toy line, but way back in the 80s Kenner had a short lived Jones line followed by an even shorter...
Harrison Ford, Toy Collector?
Yesterday by Paul @ toybender.com
In honor of the unofficial Indiana Jones themed week(ish), I ran across this image of Harrison Ford, aka Han Solo and Indiana Jones, with some Indiana Jones toys in his arms. Does this mean that Harrison Ford is a toy collector? Or does it mean he's...
Technique Tuesday - Journaling Strips
49 hours ago by Ann LuMaye @ scrapropos.com
For many scrapbookers it's all about the photos (and the paper, and the stickers, and whatever other supplies we can get our hands on). After all, "A picture is worth a thousand words", right? But years from now when a distant relative is looking at...
Thor Throws the Hammer Down!
05/12/2008 by Jessica Taylor @ comicbookjournal.net
I thought I'd pick up a copy of Thor and give the Asgardian God a try. I was pleasantly surprised--the book actually lived up to the hype. Marvel made a good choice with J. Michael Straczynsk tapped as series writer. His style meshes well with...
Scraplifting, it's NOT a crime!
05/12/2008 by Ann LuMaye @ scrapropos.com
Scraplifting...the term alone makes it sound like you're stealing something. But don't think of it as taking someones layout and passing it off as your own. Scraplifting, in fact, is an art form. It is finding inspiration in a layout that someone...

Happy Mother's Day!
05/11/2008 by Ann LuMaye @ scrapropos.com
It's only appropriate, though a bit late, to honor this special day for Mothers with a Mom-themed scrapbook page. Whether or not you are a mother, have a special mother, or have someone "like a mother" in your life, take some time to scrapbook about...
M.A.S.K. Meets G.I. Joe
05/11/2008 by Paul @ toybender.com
Following fan speculation based upon data found in retail computers, Hasbro has confirmed that a character from the 80s cartoon/toyline M.A.S.K. will make an appearance in the G.I. Joe line. Matt Trakker, the leader of the good guys in M.A.S.K., is...
Indiana Jones Toys at Burger King
05/10/2008 by Paul @ toybender.com
If you're in a Indiana Jones fueled frenzy that is making you purchase anything imaginable labeled with the familiar Indiana Jones font (like me), then you should be excited by the Indiana Jones toys appearing in a Burger King near you. (Click on...

Indiana Jones Toy Reviews: Round Two
05/09/2008 by Paul @ toybender.com
After picking up the first two figures that I reviewed previously, I picked up two more at a Wal-Mart. I got these guys mainly because Wal-Mart's price was 6.98, a full fifty cents less than Target. Still, seven bucks for an action figure still...

The Elderly's Best Medicine is Water
05/08/2008 by Shelly @ waxandbubbles.com
The elderly are always in search of the fountain of youth. Some elderly have even gone to the extreme of bizarre treatments all in the name of perpetuity. The irony is that the best age-defying treatment is right at our kitchen faucet. Water is...
Good Morning!
05/08/2008 by barbara waters @ knittingpassion.com
Well, it's bright and early Alaska time at any rate. ;) Okay - it's not so bright - it's just 5 am here and the sun hasn't come up yet. However, our days are getting longer and the sun is coming up earlier each day and setting later each day - so we...
Indiana Jones Toy Reviews!
05/08/2008 by Paul @ toybender.com
While out here on "vacation" I was unable to resist the urge to buy toys. After seeing the Indiana Jones figures in stores a few times, I finally broke down and picked a couple of them up. I don't share my toy purchases online except for notable...
Wednesday's Weekly Scrap Challenge
05/07/2008 by Ann LuMaye @ scrapropos.com
Black & white photos are a timeless classic. We often think of them as being something from the past, the sign of photo taken long ago. But black & white photos are being featured in the scrapbook magazines more and more often...and not just on...

05/06/2008 by Paul @ toybender.com
You might be wondering where the heck I went, but probably not. Just in case you have wondered why you haven't gotten any injections of toy loving from this site in the last few days, the answer is simple: I'm on a break of sorts. I took a couple of...
