My 4 year old drew a picture of himself, and his three cousins (stick people at the least!) but it was cute. He told me he wanted to send it to his cousins. So I told him, we will write all their names next to each person, put it in an envelope and get a stamp to mail it. A few minutes he comes back in the room with a red ink pad, and the "stocking" rubber stamp, and hands it to me. I asked him "why did you get this?" (he knows he is not supposed to touch anything on my craft table) and he tells me "You said we needed a stamp" OMG, I was dying! it was so cute, and I immediately thought of this scrapaholic list. Just had to share it with you all.
25 ways to tell if you are a scrapaholic!

• a regular sandwich is no longer acceptable.. .it must be cropped or cut with decorative edges.
• when you are house hunting the only thing you are concerned about is where you will have your new scrapping space.
• you are very excited when the doctor says you can take pictures of him putting the stitches in your child so that you can make a page.
• you burst into tears at the camera store when the clerk tells you that you will have to send your camera to the manufacturer for repairs and it could take 6 - 8 weeks.
