scrappin' it old school

so...i had the flu. the real flu. INFLUENZA. yeah, you heard me. i was on the couch with fever, chills, aches, etc. for FIVE flippin' days....over my spring break. it was bad. i am still tired and have sore muscles. go figure. i can't remember being sick like that since the 8th grade. shut up...it's true!

during one of my (hey, i can change font!! :) ) couch days, i relfected back to my early scrapping days. that would be in college with my scotch tape, crayola markers, and magazines. the stuff today is considered contra-band by most die hard scrappers. so, i have to share with you my new version of old school scrappin'. you should try it. it's really fun!

you, too, could be a winner!!!!!!!
