I read this on another board and just had to share.
Too funny, but oh so true. :)

Wife says to husband...
"Look - I got invited to a 'party' and I won't have to buy a basket,
or jewelry, or candles, or even another plastic container!

This party is different because I'm going to MAKE a page for a
scrapbook!

I'm going to learn how to put all those pictures we keep in a box
into a photo album that will last lifetimes!"

FOR YEARS AFTERWARDS what can be heard in the home:

-"How much can a pair of scissors cost? And why do you need an
entire cutting system if you bought scissors?"


-"The photo album was HOW MUCH? You HAD to get a paper trimmer too?  
Then please tell me ..what are the scissors for?"

-"How many magazines do you need to buy to be INSPIRED? And what's
with all this paper?"


-"You want what for your birthday? A xyron? What the heck is a
xyron?"


-"I don't understand why you need a digital camera. The 35mm I
bought after college works just fine."


-"OUCH!!!! I just stepped on one of your %&*(*&% eyelets! "


-"MORE paper? You haven't even used up what you got already!"


-"First the camera, then the printer, what's next a scanner?"


-"I see..so if we get these target cubes you'll be able to see the
paper you have and then you won't have to buy anymore?"


-"Son, how many times have I told you - You CANNOT play with
MOMMY's  tools!"


-"I don't get it ..why do we have to go to Lowes to get paint chips
if we aren't doing any painting around here?"


-"Don't worry sweetie..we won't tell Mommy you borrowed her stickers
to make Barbie look pretty."


-"You had a 40% off coupon and you still spent over $100??"

-"What do you need all this yarn for? You don't even knit! Do you?"


-"No dear. I do not know how to scan and stitch. Maybe someone on
YOUR message board can help you there."


-"Who took Daddy's sandpaper?"

-"It's 11PM. Isn't that layout done YET?"


-"Shhh..don't tell Daddy that Mommy borrowed his sandpaper."

-"Yes, I guess we can stop at that cute little scrapbook store
during our vacation."


-"You're going to take a crap? I meant going to a crop...
nevermind."


-"NO MOMMY! NO MORE PICTURES! NO MORE PICTURES! NO MORE PICTURES!"


-"So who is this Becky Higgins and what's the big deal about her?
She an actress or something?"

-"I thought you already had a sewing machine. So what's this one
for?"


-"No..I've never printed on vellum before..YES..I can help you
figure out the right printer settings..but what the heck is vellum?"


-"Queen of the week doesn't mean you won't still make dinner, right?
Right? Whew."


-"You just joined a what? A swap? I'm really happy for you honey."


-"MORE paper? What's so special about this 'BRAZIL' paper?"

And the hardest one of all...

-"Where did all these boxes of pictures come from...I thought you
were going to put them all in a scrapbook! "

Quoted: Mona, Thanks for that, mom has decided to get into that.... I'm recording all the (Cindy? Wendy? Sandy?[some girly name] Genovese's (sp?)) "Scrapbooking" shows for her.... I e-mailed her that, she'll like it I'm sure ;)

I'm not a scrapbooker yet. But I do make Cards and things for scrapbooks. If you need any good links for stuff. Shoot me an IM and I'll give you a lot of good places for your mom to shop online.
