I'm one of those "crafty" (in more ways than one

) people who likes doing the stuff you mentioned. I've done a sorority scrapbook every year since I've joined, but I don't normally buy all that fancy stuff like printed papers that cost 50 cents a sheet and those precut paper objects. All you need is a bunch of scissors that cut cute designs, some glitter, some markers, and your pictures...and voila, you can come up with some neat-looking stuff if you're creative. It sounds like you're pretty much set. And I also cross-stitch...well, I've been doing it since I was five and old habits are hard to break! Do you do your own designs or use cross-stitch books, texas*princess?
