Very funny. Thanks for sharing. He doesn't say anything about all the scrapbooking shops he will have to visit while on vacation. After all, it might be the only chance to see that shop, so why spend time lying on the beach? And there might be a sale too.............

Pretty funny! I loved the part about the pre-made pages, and all the things they will have to do while on vacation whether they want to or not, so she can fill them in.

I laughed out loud too! My favorite was him asking if that expensive Cricket/flea/bug could take the trip so they wouldn't have to.

This is too hilarious! I didn't pre-arrange our trip to Australia via scrapbook, but I definitely had "find a scrapbooking store" on my "must-do" list. Thanks for sharing, Lydia!

Speaking of scrapbooks, don't forget we have a scrapbooking forum on SCS and lots of scrap challenges here:

That was so awesome. And yet so very sad, as I have piles of "stuff" to put into my scrapbooks also. Sigh. At least I don't make the scrapbooks until after the vacation!! Thanks for sharing Lydia.

...but couldn't resist. So funny - so true, especially the comment about mapping out all the scrapbook stores along the way. Remember, he's every scrapbooker's husband, so make him a nice meal. Wait - I don't cook anymore! Honey, what are we having for dinner?

Love the original story by Mike and I'm still LOL, but had to put a comment on this quote. Love it and I'm with you because I don't cook anymore either! Who has the time????
