BookObsessed

My oldest dd collects money from other countries
My youngest dd collects stuffed animals of any kind
My middle dd really does not collect anything but has recently gotten into any and all teen vampire books. She especially loved Twilight and is a huge Edward fan, so anything that has to do with Edward I can bet she would love. My other 2 girls side with Jacob. lol
My DH does not read but he loves to look at snake books. The more pictures the better. Snakes from anywhere in the world interest him.

As for me --

Bookcrossing Labels -- I never have enough of these. I love homemade labels. They can be sticky or not. Really any Bookcrossing labels are great
Bookcrossing stickers of any sort
Aprons with pockets -- the kind that go around your neck and tie around your waist. Need to have at least 2 deep pockets. One of my duties at work is an hour of lunch duty with several hundred children between the ages of 5 and 11 so I always need aprons. LOL
Chocolate candy -- not dark or mint but everything else is fair game!!


My most accurate wishlist can be found on Goodreads.com -- My other wishlists are not up to date, sadly.

My addy can be found on both RABCK.com and the Google spreadsheet. I am in the USA

Wow!! This will be cool. I see several wishes that I can fulfill. That's my favorite part of the holidays - seeing others getting something good and knowing that the smile upon their face is sincere!

I know that I am a very blessed person. I'm thankful for that every day of my life. So I only have a few wishes of my own:

Anything from my wishlist, of course. Here's the url: http://amzn.com/w/3Q9AILSERYHAX. My addy is on RABCK & the Google list. I'm in the USA.

The only thing I "collect" are STAMPS from all over the world! I collect both Mint (unused) and slightly used stamps. My special favorites are from Australia, Great Britain or any of its isles, especially Ireland & Scotland.

I love chocolate, especially white chocolate!!! I'm not big on dark chocolate.

My favorite charity is the Humane Society of America. I volunteer when I can for the Nashville Humane Society. My babies are the joys in my life. I have 2 dogs: Mickey is 14 yrs. old, blind and hard of hearing (she was born with a brain defect) and Clancey, my 7 yr. old Great Dane. He's my BIG baby, at 230 pounds and appr. 38 inches tall (at his shoulders/withers). We were in the process of putting the paperwork together to send to Guinness World Records for the "Tallest Dog Alive" Record. But then, we heard of a couple of taller dogs!! :headwall: So much for that idea! LOL Besides my doggies, I have a beautiful 14 yr. old kitty-cat named Ashley. Oh, and I love my family also!!

I hope everyone gets all their Christmas wishes fulfilled!!

I think in Europe (or at least in Finland) it has taken a long time for scrapbooking materials to appear in shops, and even now there is nothing like as much as there is in the USA.

Most photo albums here still do not say whether or not they are acid-free and/or lignen-free. And this can be VERY important to people who scrapbook seriously. In the USA there are even special pens and special tape and special glue and stuff to make sure that everything is "archival quality".

ETA: Like biblio said, special scissors and cut-out stampers can be great scrapbook ideas (and then there's no worry about acid), BUT these could be difficult and expensive to mail. Whereas a few sheets of decorated archival paper would be fun for a scrapbooker and probably relatively inexpensive... if only they were easier to get in Europe. (I don't really know the situation outside Finland though.)

Marlene you crack me up...

I don't know if anyone has already explained cause I just saw this question.
If you google it, you'll be amazed. For you: have a look at the Dutch webshop Scrapbookdepot then you'll get an idea. Of course there are also books & magazines (also a lot of Dutch magazines that might be fun to see for foreign scrappers)

You can also find some scrapbookingstuff in other shops like Action or Blokker. Ribbon, stickers or other embellishments.

Have fun, you might like it yourself

Not only did it make my Christmas but my birthday too (it's Friday). I got two book thongs one with beads and the other with the sun on one end and a star on the other with I LOVE. Some teas and some chocolates which hubbie and I have already eaten a piece! Plus a lovely Christmas card.

You just made my day!
