To make you smile

I got the heads up on this from Yvonne today pointing me in the direction of a Blog post. This was posted on Happi Scrappin and is from A Scrapbooker's Dictionary written by Heather Dewaelsche in the 1st edition of Chicken Soup for The Scrapbooker's Soul by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hanson.

ARCHIVAL SAFE: A locked container for Scrapbook supplies.

CREATIVE JUICES: Beverages consumed while Scrapbooking.
CROP: (verb) To remove all the dirty dishes, piles of clothes and other household clutter from photos (noun). A get-together where Scrapbookers eat, drink, socialize and occasionally complete a page layout. (THIS IS SO TRUE as we will see on 25th Feb).
DIE CUT: A Scrapbooking injury caused by a craft knife, scissors or other sharp object.
ENLARGEMENT: What needs to be done to every Scrapbookers workspace.
HOMEMADE: What every Scrapbooker needs so that they can spend more time Scrapbooking and less time cleaning.
LAYOUT: What photos, paper and embellishments do on a Scrapbooker's table for hours (sometimes days) at a time.
PAGE PROTECTOR: A Scrapbooker with young children.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY: A sale at a camera store.
PRECIOUS MOMENTS: Time spent Scrapbooking.
SCRAPBOOK RETREAT: When you walk away from a Scrapbook layout in progress for a period of time so as to better evaluate it on returning.
SCRAPBOOK STORE: What you do with the album you bought just because it looked so cute.
SPRAY ADHESIVE: What a Scrapbooker should do when she finds a good man that supports her hobby.
