Well, that was a line that I not just crossed, but jumped over with two feet

Two-page spread of cat photos for my Japan scrapbook - done.

I have become One of Those People.  Only most of my pages look a little different.  Today, for instance, I had to text a friend from the scrapbooking section at Joann's to complain about the lack of appropriate supplies to go along with the shots of drunken farewell parties that will be taking up half of my scrapbook pages.  Come on, must everything be babies and weddings and school memories?  Where's the paper that shows a squid on a stick and a giant beer?  The stickers that say "Irasshaimase!" in bold all caps with three exclamation points?  Rub-on transfers with love hotel slogans? Anything with Charisma man???

Gee, maybe I've found a new underserved market ... Gaijin Scrapbooking Supplies!

Wagon? What wagon? (again)

I might have sort of goofed and spent $60 on scrapbooking paper at the craft store today.  Oops.

I swore I would never do it

And yet I spent my whole afternoon ... scrapbooking.

And liking it.

Thank goodness for friends with an inexhaustible supply of things like paper and brads and sticky tape thingees ... I'd go completely broke if I had to do this on my own.  Especially since I have SIX albums of photos from Japan to redo like this ... -headdesk-
