Oh No!!!

Our most loyal Canon printer finally gave in.  It served us for about 5 years, and now it's broke.  The first thing that came to mind:  how will I make scrapbook pages now?  This also affected my responsibilities with TDS.  I'll just have to make it up to them one way or another.

 
Now come to think of it, it's been a long time since my traditional scrapbook page.  And what's mad is now that the printer is broke, I'm aching to make a scrapbook page.  Can you tell how crazy I am?  Good thing I still have an HP portable printer and I was able to make a traditional LO.

 This is a page about our one day stopover in New Mexico a couple of years ago.  We were just passing by as we drive from Washington State to our new hometown here in Michigan.  Albaquerque was a fun place to visit.  I just wished that we had more time.  We also enjoyed the Pepper Emporium which sells a lot of hot sauce and chili from around the world.  It was like another kind of heaven for me.  While making this page, I realized the real purpose of scrapbooking.  It is to preserve memories.

Also, I had my 2nd day at the craft show in our town today.  But the weather was bad, cold and rainy.  That made people want to stay home.  As much as I like the rain, it won't be good for my cards at the moment.  The nasty weather forced all vendors to pack up really early and go home.  In other words, I didn't do good today.  But looking at the bright side, I was able to do more chores at home given last night's dinner with DH's family.  And my planet looks more decent... hahaha!
