jcvsmom I miss my Jeep... I had a '97 Sahara - dual tops. Loved it. Had to trade it in once we started having kids... Now I drive a Suburban. As soon as my kids are gone, I'm getting another Jeep! But back to your question... Don't lift it! Please leave it as is....

jcvsmom Unless you have a website of your own, you should set up your blog on blogger.com. It's very user friendly. It walks you right through the steps on how to set everything up. And you can easily upload any image that you have on your computer. It's very easy to...

CM is coming out with a new adhesive pen!

Shelite @Shelite (212) • Canada 2 Mar 07

I think that they may have it online now for viewing and purchasing soon. It's called the Precision Point Adhesive. Sounds very interesting. Do you think you'll try it out? I think I will have to check in with someone who sells it...

Store Crop Sessions

gemini52981 @gemini52981 (158) • Canada 18 Feb 07

There is a store near me, that lets you come and crop at the back of their store. All you need is your album and supplies, and they let you use a collection of tools and magazines for free. You can also run a tab of items you take...

jcvsmom This is about the only way that I crop! Our local Hallmark store carries scrapbooking supplies and they hold Open Crops a few times a month. The crops run from 6:30 - midnight. It costs $6, but dinner is included (usually pizza and pop, chips, cookies, and...

Scrapbooking Magazines.

Shelite @Shelite (212) • Canada 11 Feb 07

When and where do you buy your magazines/idea books? Just last year I started my first subscription. I really had to convince myself to do this. But my son's school had a book order that would help the school so I ordered CK...

jcvsmom I have seen some individual magazines for sale at Walmart, and if I was going to buy one I would get one of those. I'd rather just look online for layouts and ideas. I google search will give you tons of results. It's free and I don't have all those magazines...

At what age did you move your child into a big bed from a crib?

mom2adopted @mom2adopted (56) • United States 13 Feb 07

My beautiful little girl just turned 2. For her birthday, we bought bunk beds for my kids room. She shares a bedroom with her 6 year old brother. A friend of mine yelled at me for putting her in a "big" bed. I think my friend is...

jcvsmom If it works for your daughter, then it's fine. If she moves around a lot while she is sleeping, you might want to get a guard rail that will prevent her from falling out. My youngest is almost 3 and still sleeps in the crib, with the side down so she can climb...

What is your favorite scrapbook embellishment?

Miriel @Miriel (1041) • Norway 21 Jan 07

Right now my favorite embellishments are rubons. I simply cannot make a layout without my rubons. My handwriting is crappy so all my journaling are made by rubons!

jcvsmom I want to try something with eyelets on my next page. I have a silent setter, but I've never used it for eyelets. I haven't decided if I want to run the eyelets through with scrapper's floss or not.

Time for scrapbooking

Shelite @Shelite (212) • Canada 9 Feb 07

When your significant other is away at work or gone for long periods do you find you have more or less time to scrapbook? For me I think more. Even with the three kids I feel better scrapping when he's away and spending time...

Shopping

Shelite @Shelite (212) • Canada 9 Feb 07

Pages

Shelite @Shelite (212) • Canada 9 Feb 07

Do you find yourself doing one page spreads on a subject or two page spreads? For me lately it's normally one page spread...unless it's a birthday because I always go overboard on the photo taking.

jcvsmom I usually do one page spreads. But that's because I am working on scrapping all of my kid's 8x10 school photos. Those don't really work well for a 2 page spread. I have seen it done on 2 pages, but I don't care for it.

Did you see this week's CSI Miami episode where Eric Delko was shot?

jcvsmom I like Eric Delko and I really don't want them to kill him off. I wouldn't mind if they killed Ryan Wolfe. But remember they killed off Tim Speedle a few seasons ago. I think Eric is going to pull through, but you never know.

How to potty train a child at night time?

jcvsmom You can't train him to stay dry at night. Nighttime wetting is not a choice he is making. He's not going to stay dry at night until his bladder is big enough to hold it all night. I would plan on keeping him in a diaper or pullup at night until he starts...
